Each of us has our own unique set of talents, and whatever those talents may be, they give us the opportunity to express ourselves in a meaningful way. Through the launch of the “Talent For Giving” (TFG) initiative, we are encouraged as authors and artists to share our talent with the world and to help others in the process.
Karen Bachert, author of Quality of Life: The 5 Stages of Retirement Success, says, “It’s been wonderful to bring together so many talented people and to be able to present to our communities such an inspiring collection of books from authors and illustrators from South Bend, Mishawaka, Granger, Goshen, Middlebury, Kokomo, Fort Wayne, Indiana and Niles, Michigan. We tour various expos and events showcasing our book collections, often helping to raise money for local charities. It’s exciting to see more and more new talent as each new author or artist joins our group.”
