It’s Monday! Our Potluck column has the distinct honor of having the Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice, Susan Christensen, join us.
The truth is, she agreed to come on our call months ago. Today, the court is amid a firestorm of controversial topics that she cannot discuss.
So, we will get to know this extraordinary woman in a more biographical interview. Per her request, it will not be recorded, so please join the conversation in real-time.
The link to the Zoom call is below the paywall. This series of Monday Zoom calls was launched to create a premium offering for those who become paid subscribers to our Potluck column. Proceeds provide scholarships to the Okoboji Writers’ Retreat. Thanks to paid subscribers, 19 scholarship recipients will be able to have this life-changing experience.
Speaking of the retreat, the extraordinarily talented, funny, accomplished writer, playwright, podcaster, and musician Mary Swander will join us! She is also a member of the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative. Here’s her column (subscribe!); Mary Swander’s Buggyland. Mary is one of 32 award-winning writers, editors, authors, and playwrights who are coming to help participants learn and grow the craft of writing. COME! We have six spots left! Seriously, why not? Hang out with some of the best, brightest, and most accomplished writers on the shore of West Lake Okoboji. You don’t have to be a professional writer to come. All you need is an interest in learning. Beginners welcome. And if you are a pro, you’ll learn something new and make great connections.
