We are proud to report that YWWf(a)C participant, Chloe Fellmeth of Indianapolis, IN, has received a Gold Key award and was an American Visions and Voices Nominee from the 2015 Regional Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for her personal essay The Causes and Effects of
Astronomy - a piece she wrote while attending our 2014 Summer Camp for young women! Chloe was honored to read from her essay during the regional awards ceremony held March 8, 2015 at Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University.  Mindy Weaver-Flask, our summer camp facilitator and owner of WWf(a)C, Indianapolis, was there to support and celebrate Chloe's achievement.  Congratulations Chloe!

WWf(a)C writers Ellen Austin-Li, Teri Foltz, Maura Anaya Kennedy and Laurie Lambert

all have had poems accepted for publication in "For A Better World 2015," a book showcasing the work of artists and writers who will be part of this year's SOS Art Show. This annual event, founded by Saad Ghosn, features writers, visual artists and musicians from the Greater Cincinnati area who
share their views in support of peace and justice. Ellen, Teri, Maura and Laurie will also read their
works as part of the event's activities. The SOS Art Show will take place this year at the Art
Academy of Cincinnati, 1212 Jackson St., and will run from May 29 to June 7. On May 30, Teri will
be sharing the microphone with other local writers between 7-9pm; on June 6, Ellen, Laurie, and Maura will be among those reading between the same hours. Come out and support our writers for what promise to be an enlightening series of evenings.
