Member Spotlight KIMBERLY CROSS TETER Author and Educator | www.kimteter.com NCBWL is blessed with so many fascinating women members, each one brings amazing gifts and talents. Our Member Spotlight feature for the month of September is a gifted author whose curious mind and love for travel and history provided the inspiration for her debut novel Isabella's Libretto. This historical fiction is about the life of a spirited, ambitious orphan who plays cello in Antonio Vivaldi's remarkable all-female orchestra in Venice, Italy, in 1715. How interesting! And who knew Vivaldi was a Catholic priest! There's more to learn about Kim Teter. Visit this month's Member Spotlight. |

What a great finish to an exciting season! Our 3-part Summer Series concluded August 17 with the presence of Mother Anna Grace Neenan, O.P., Prioress General of the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia, and a former professional ballerina. For the past three months, we have heard from three wonderful sisters who shared their beautiful life stories before answering the call to serve the Lord! Our gratitude to our member Lynda Evjen, President of Women in Film & Television, for letting us use the WIFT facilities for our Summer meetings. Thank you to those who attended our August Meeting and supported our Outreach beneficiary Meals 4 Health and Healing Program in support of The Heimerdinger Foundation.
