Congratulations to Stephanie Means and Uriel Mae Wynn on their debut children's book.
Little Pinky Winkle's arrival on Earth amazes the creatures in Merry Green—from Father Mushroom and the faeries to the ancient stone that serves as a home for a dragon. They all work to help him learn life lessons about friendship, truth, and respect. This children's book honors endangered species and emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with nature.

Authors' legal use of AI - ALWAYS
[If you'd like a Zoom link for this hybrid meeting, please DM or email Ann.]
Established author, do you know how to legally use AI? Intellectual Property Attorney Maria Crimi Speth will share her wisdom about the topic with us at our June gathering.
Maria is currently adding AI sections to her two incredibly powerful books detailing how authors can legally use written and photographic content in their books.
• Protect Your Writings: A Legal Guide for Authors
• Protect Your Photographs: A Legal Guide for Photographers
She will discuss these bullet points at our meeting:
• Who owns content created by AI?
• Does AI training infringe the copyrights of authors and artists?
• Does copying AI output constitute infringement?
• AI hallucinations, discrimination and other errors.
More about Maria. She is a shareholder in the law firm of Jaburg & Wilk, P.C., practices in the areas of intellectual property, technology, and commercial litigation, representing clients and serving as a neutral. Litigating for more than 35 years, she practices in the state and federal courts of Arizona and New York as well as the Courts of Appeals for six circuits and the Supreme Court.
Come share in our discussion over coffee, tea, and pastries.
You may want to eat before the meeting or bring a brown bag lunch as the Commons no longer serves food, only coffee/tea. Do plan to purchase at least a drink, if you'd be so kind.

Wed., June 10, 2026
12:30–2 p.m.
