Georgia author Janisse Ray will tell us about a fascinating Southern ecosystem that built America, one she wrote about in her award-winning memoir, Ecology of a Cracker Childhood. Ray will not only detail the natural history of the yellow pine, but will talk about its economics as well. Ecology of a Cracker Childhood (published in 1999) was a New York Times Notable Book. The Times said of the book, "The forests of the South find their Rachel Carson.”
Ray has since published five more books. She has been awarded a Pushcart Prize, the Georgia Writer’s Association Lifetime Achievement Award, an American Book Award, among many others.
She has received two honorary doctorates, and in 2015 she was inducted into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame. She lives on a historic farm in Tattnall County, Georgia.
This will be an interview format by Laura McCarty!

The Kiwanis Club of Atlanta needs to find a new office next spring! Our sublease is up in April, so we need to find a new office space. If you, or someone you know, has about 150 - 200 sf of office space that we can use or get for a great price please let us know. We need to make arrangements in the next few months to coordinate our move. Email Karen at KiwanisClubAtlanta@gmail.com.
Are you having trouble receiving the KCA Bulletins and other email communications? It appears that computer systems/servers who use Symantec are having trouble getting communications from our ClubRunner system delivered to their inboxes. While we work on this issue with ClubRunner, I have an email list serve set up through Outlook to send the bulletins out each week to those who need it. And if you are having trouble receiving your quarterly bills, I can send them to you through QuickBooks. Just email me at KiwanisClubAtlanta@gmail.com and I will add you to the list!
