All children are welcome at the "G'day to Read" sum­mer reading program at the First Baptist Church in Wimberley. The free pro­gram began on June 16, and will run each Tuesday through July 21. From 10 — 11 a.m., children from 4-years to 2nd grade listen 10 readings from selected books and chilren's Bible stories. Other activities round out the hour. Australia is this year's theme.

 

On June 30, a special guest reader joins in the fun! Australian by birth, Texan by choice, Thorn "Moon 10" is a prolific, performing poet. He calls Austin home, and annu­ally tours England and Australia, returning "down under" in August. He teaches writing workshops for all ages and levels of writing ex­perience. Thorn excels at im­provisational poetry, espe­cially when accompanied by music. Nearly 200 of his po­etry "chat books" are in print. And, he hosts several poetry/music open-mic ven­ues in Austin. Thorn is a real live poet!
