Episode #289: Mission Statements
Grace and Alvina talk about different organizations and their mission statements, and start brainstorming a possible mission statement for this podcast! They start by talking about their values.
For the Fortune Cookie segment they talk about the announcement of a surprise new book by Stephen King and Maurice Sendak. Then, Grace asks Alvina to tell her about the book MIRROR GIRLS by Kelly McWilliams.
How have you been?
Alvina had a nice long weekend watching the Saturday Night Live specials! They were all really well done. Grace has been fighting off some depression about the state of the world. Her contact at New England Public Radio was laid off. It’s Hazel’s vacation week and they’re trying to sell some Girl Scout Cookies. The enamel pin is ready from Porter Square Books if you preorder Grace’s new book The Girl, The Gate, and The Dragon.
