THE MERRY BOMBADILS
(Cuba, Missouri)

MEMBERS: As of January 1, 2013 there were 12 members in this poetry society.

MEETING DATES, TIME, AND PLACE: As many of the members travel long distances, The Merry Bombadils meet monthly to plan events and programs for community outreach.

OFFICERS: President of The Merry Bombadils is Dawn Harmon.

PROGRAM: Members of The Merry Bombadils host annual community events to bring poetry to the masses. Some past events have been a Youth Poetry Contest with awards ceremony and opportunity for winners to share their poetry, and an open to the public Poet Speak for local artists to come and read their own work. In 2010, The Merry Bombadils were the hosting chapter of the annual state convention of Missouri State Poetry Society. Most recently the president has started sharing a monthly poetry workshop exercise via email with each member. Upon completion of the writing exercise, members are invited to share their end results with others, however, that is always optional. In this way the members each practice a little writing each month and avoid that dry season that all writers sometimes experience.

CONTACT PERSON: Those interested in attending a meeting of this group should contact Dawn Harmon at inafieldofdaisies@hotmail.com. Regular mailing address is 351 Oak Road, Cuba, MO 65453.
