Hameray Herald - August 2011


It's August! 

 

That means it's time to get back to school. I trust you're all anxious to get back in the classroom and begin a new school year! But even if you aren't, then there's still a little time left to enjoy summer. At Hameray, we are always here to help you get back into school-mode! Here are a few things that might help make the transition a little easier for you:

Joy Cowley visits Hameray in San Diego!


Joy visited the Hameray offices in San Diego last week, during her recent trip to the U.S. Before arriving in California, she was in Chautauqua, NY for her annual Highlights workshop, "Writing from the Heart". According to Joy, the workshop was a tremendous experience and a total success, with the exception of a 16-hour blackout!

During her time in San Diego, she recorded two audio CD's worth of narration, for the Joy Cowley Collection Red Set and Orange Set. She also spent time with Raymond and Christine Yuen of Hameray, and attended a reception dinner for her birthday! Click on the picture below to see highlights from her trip!
