Independence Inklings Writers' Group
Spooky Story Writing Contest
Can you give us a chill in 500 words or less? Only previously unpublished manuscripts, please, though dual submissions are allowed. Entries may be submitted by email, snail mail, or in person to the Independence Branch by Sunday, October 20th. If sending by mail or delivering in-person, please submit three (3) hard copies of your story in standard, writing format (typed on 8 1/2 x 11" paper, double-spaced, with 1" margins, using 12 pt. Times New Roman font). Include your name/contact info on a separate, title page only, but make sure your story title is on a header for all pages. Author-identifying information will be removed for purposes of fair, "blind" judging. (Note: by entering this contest, you agree to allow your work to be published in a potential, future Kenton County Writer's Anthology, in the event your story is one of the top three.) Independence Inklings will select the top five stories to give to a panel of judges. Winning stories will be announced and read aloud at the November 2 Independence Inklings meeting.

Community Cooperation
Save a Life - Give Blood
Every day patients in our community's hospitals must receive blood transfusions to survive treatment & surgery. In fact, cancer patients, accident and trauma victims and patients requiring complex surgeries rely on this blood to save their lives. All of the blood given to these patients comes from generous and kind individuals who take the time out of their busy schedules to donate blood. It's a safe and easy way to help patients in their time of need. Donors must be at least 17 years old.
Please visit http://www.hoxworth.org/groups/Durr/ to schedule an appointment. For more information about blood donation please visit www.hoxworth.org

Concert
HungryTown in concert at the Library
Hungrytown is the Vermont-based duo of singer/guitarist Rebecca Hall and singer/multi-instrumentalist Ken Anderson. The duo's mostly original material blends smart modern lyrics with a traditional Americana feel, as in "Solid Ground," a close-harmony love song in waltz time, and the upbeat bluegrass gospel of "On the Other Side." Hall and Anderson are also adept at borrowing and updating themes from old ballads, as in "One Morning in May," a timeless lament for soldiers gone off to war. Join us for a concert of their wonderful music!
