Good News from Denver
Let’s begin this week’s good news some very positive comments from Donnell Bell, straight from the KOD Annual Conference in Denver. “I want to praise ALL of KOD’s hardworking volunteers and all involved for putting on the ATF workshop, especially Debbi Ward. It was amazing; my head is still reeling. I also think bringing these experts to the classroom is a stroke of genius. The tours were great, but with all the information imparted to us, I think the classroom environment was THE WTG. KOD, Death by Chocolate was phenomenal. Special thanks to Brooke Wills for heading up and putting together such a time-consuming, involved presentation and for streaming to those who couldn’t attend. And to KOD Prez Lori McDonald (Lori Mack), for being such a brilliant speaker/promoter/champion of the organization. Congratulations to all our winners and finalists of the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense. I think we have a chapter full of Good News!”
