Thank you to all Poetry and Short Story Contestants

The end of the Poetry and Short Story Contest was March 1, and we were delighted to have over 75 adult and teen submissions for the contest. The winners will be announced at Coffee for a Cause on March 27, which begins at 6:45 pm in TeenCrossings. All poems and selected short stories will be published in a keepsake volume that will be for sale at the event, courtesy of the Rotary Club of Twinsburg, and all proceeds benefitting Aluminum Cans for Burned Children. Don't miss the chance to see your work in print and to support a great cause!
