To my dear friend, Dee,
You must have done something right for IBM to keep you
around for 25 years! I commissioned this poem just for you.
Love,
Connie E. Lewis
Congratulations on 25 Years of Your Best Work, Dee!
You’ve given 25 years of dedicated service to IBM
This is truly a milestone in your stellar career
IBM is commemorating your achievement with your induction to the
Quarter Century Club
Debora “Dee” Carey, it couldn’t happen to a better person, my friend
so dear
As an exemplary employee, you set standards others strive to attain
Always on time, attentive to your duties and giving more than is required
You’re enthusiastic about your work and it shows
Dee, your career has been brilliant… absolutely inspired
But to me, your best work has been rendered as a God-fearing yet
fearless warrior for God, a devoted mother and a true friend
That is what has impressed me the most, I must say
So witty, funny, pleasant and caring, you bring joy to our lives
As you continue with your career and move forward in life may God
grant you divine favor, blessings and peace each day

Just Too Good To be True
by E. Lynn Harris
Harris serves up a treat that will capture and enchant audiences everywhere-a big, bold, and irresistible novel about football, family, and secrets.
Brady Bledsoe and his mother, Carmyn, have a strong relationship. A single mother, faithful churchgoer, and the owner of several successful Atlanta beauty salons, Carmyn has devoted herself to her son and his dream of becoming a professional football player. Brady has always followed her lead, including becoming a member of the church's "Celibacy Circle." Now in his senior year at college, the smart, and very handsome, Brady is a lead contender for the Heisman Trophy and a spot in the NFL.
As sports agents hover around Brady, Barrett, a beautiful and charming cheerleader, sets her mind on tempting the celibate Brady and getting a piece of his multimillion-dollar future-but is that all she wants from him, and is she acting alone?
Carmyn is determined to protect her son. She's also determined to protect the secret she's kept from Brady his whole life. As things heat up on campus and Carmyn and Brady's idyllic relationship starts to crumble, mother and son begin to wonder about the other-are you just too good to be true?
A sweeping novel about mothers and sons, football and beauty shops, secrets and lies, JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE has all the ingredients that have made E. Lynn Harris a bestselling author: family, friendship, faith, and love.

Announcing the call for entries into the second annual Moonbeam Children's Book Awards www.MoonbeamAwards.com, designed to honor the year's best children's books, authors and illustrators. The new book awards program is accepting entries until August 16th, 2008 for books with 2007 or 2008 copyrights or that were released in 2007 or 2008, and is open to authors, illustrators, and publishers of children's books written in English and intended for the North American market.
Presented by Jenkins Group and IndependentPublisher.com, the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children's books and their creators, and to support childhood literacy and life-long reading. Awards will be given in 30 categories covering the full range of subjects, styles and age groups that children's books are written and published in today.
The inaugural Moonbeam Awards were a huge success, says Jim Barnes, Awards Director at Jenkins Group. We had a great turnout of support from the children's book publishing community, and we're going to make this year's awards even better. Last year we recognized a wonderfully diverse group of authors and publishers, from first-timers to seasoned veterans, and the award-winners make up an amazing "must-read" list of books for kids.

Jenkins Group has been involved in book packaging, marketing and distribution since 1988, and many of its founders and employees now have children and grandchildren who strongly influence the company culture with their youthful exuberance and love of books.
We all have kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews, and we all recognize the role books play in enriching children's lives, says company founder Jerrold Jenkins, father of four children ranging from ages 5 to 15. As our society has gotten more complex and growing up has become more complicated, children's book authors and publishers have risen to the occasion, creating books that not only celebrate the joys of childhood, but also help families deal with its challenges. We want to recognize and reward the best of these books and bring them to the attention of parents, booksellers, librarians and to the kids themselves.
