2020 Service Award, Jim Potter

10/3/2020

Jim Potter became a member of Kansas Authors Club in 2015. He became president of District 6 in 2019, and has recruited at least 28 members to the organization since that time. Jim led the way in transitioning to Zoom meetings in 2020, the first of our seven districts to do so. In fact, his district began meeting twice a month, once for a program and once for a read around. Jim has been a dedicated leader on behalf of his district and our state organization. I submit Jim Potter (D6) for a merit award for service to Kansas Authors Club.

As published in the Hutchinson News, August 28, 2020:

"Nearly 30 of the region’s writers and poets are featured in a new book available this weekend, an anthology of works that celebrate a mixture of genres and voices.

Some writers are being published for the first time, while others are adding another publication to an already heavy shelf of their work.

What unifies them is their membership in District 6 of the Kansas Authors Club."
