Dear Bardi Rosman Koodrin, Sue Barizon, Elliotte Mao,
Bardi had invited me to attend the award ceremony on June 11, 2011 (San Mateo County Fair Literary Arts writing contests). I had wanted so much to be there, to thank everyone in the SMCF offices and the writers who entered the contest I sponsored – “The Immigrant Experience”
A previous commitment prevents me from being there with you on June 11th.
Could you 3 wonderful hearts Bardi, Elliotte, Sue (Sue, I read what you said about Bardi in The Patch) please print the attachment and bring it to the June 11 ceremony and one of you read it for me?

Greetings from author and writing career coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan , the sponsor of The Immigrant Experience Writing Contest. . . I wish I were with you today. I’m visiting my friend Patty in the hospital who is another hero like Bardi. I thank Bardi, and everyone who helped her, for orchestrating the many wonderful writing contests. I thank all the writers who submitted entries to The Immigrant Experience category. The manuscripts I read touched me deeply. A second judge, Mary Knippel, and I discussed the merits of each piece. Thank you, Mary.
I extend this offer to all the contestants: If you email me at WritingCoachTeresa…I’m at gmail.comI will give you some pointers to polish your piece. And, I’d love to meet you. Please go to my website: WritingCoachTeresa.com and look at my Events Page. On Friday June 17 I’ll be at San Mateo County Fair with my California Writers Club buddies. I hope to meet you all in person, on facebook, or through my blog at WritingCoachTeresa.com where you’ll find lots of resources, including links to my Youtube channel and to Amazon for my 22-day workbook, to help you build your writer’s platform to attract agents and publishers. Remember me as Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan who says: “Reach out, not stress out, when building your writing career. Stay connected with members of California Writers Club!”
