MAY 17th – 23rd
WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes, I hope my words find you well. Well, it feels like we’re repeating ourselves but it’s been a while since we’ve sent out our weekly version of The Forwardian Gazette. In fact, we published the May 2019 edition of our magazine a bit late as well. It won’t be long before the June issue will be coming out. This all indicates the past week has been a busy one which left little time for preparing and sending out our publications. Of course, our tendency to procrastinate and being lazy has nothing to do with the delays. There are lots of things going on this week as the celebrations of The PoconoArts Annual Membership show will take place at their new home at 701 Main St. in Stroudsburg, PA. It’ll be a lot of fun and we hope to be there so we can so we may share them with you.
LET’S SHARE SOME MEMORIES. Fashion, Fun, and Food at the Phoenix

On the Forwardian front, the submission deadline for The Forwardian Film Festival will occur in about two weeks from now. So, if you or someone you know would like to have their work entered for consideration, now would be a good time to do it. We would be honored to receive it. Let’s Art. Well, that’s all from me for now. How are you? Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this publication, The Forwardian Arts Society, or anything at all. I promise to tell you everything. I would make a terrible spy. I look forward to hearing from you soon and I'll keep a good thought for you until then.
