If there is a way to share local events of interest with your members, we’d like to make you aware of the following event coming up at Cleveland Public Library: on Friday, April 5 at 5:30 p.m. author Amy Stewart will be discussing her Kopp Sisters novels at the South Branch Library, 3096 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113. Amy’s novels are based on three real-life sisters in the early 1900s, the oldest of whom became a deputy sheriff in New Jersey before women had the right to vote. She even chased down criminals and physically tackled them to make her arrests! The novels are a great read and Amy is an engaging speaker and writer. We’d love to give NEOSINC members the chance to meet Amy and hear her talk.
