Life-long friends of the Austens
The Atlanta Region enjoyed our meeting with the JASNA president. We toured the beautifully restored Ivy Hall in the first part of the meeting. The Savannah College of Art and Design graciously hosted our meeting in this wonderful facility that they use as their Writing Center and as a venue for public events such as ours. Several members brought tea and desserts which we enjoyed during our breaks.

We benefitted from her feedback and advice as she met with our region's officers throughout the weekend.
