This anthology is a compilation of the works of the of the talented writers in the Creative Writing class at the Cupertino Senior Center circa 2010. The class varies in membership from term to term, but anyone who loves to write is welcome. We have created this anthology of some of the things we have written not only to "strut our stuff", but also to show you that each of us in the class has different interests and talents and your writing would fit in, too. Thanks to FastPencil we have been able to publish our work, some of us for the first time, at a less than moderate price. We offer it to you for your enjoyment and for your encouragement
