Because poetry can be so important in our lives, I am running a contest to remind people to slow down a bit and read a poem (or write one). I will select a winner from those who send me an email with TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING in the subject line. The prize is an e-copy of Lillian Brummet's Towards Understanding with a new cover by her husband, Dave, who is also her writing partner. I'll randomly pick a winner on Sept. 30. The winner will also have an opportunity to publish one of their poems or a short excerpt from their prose in this corner of my newsletter—a piece that fits with the theme Towards Understanding. Send your entries to HoJoNews@aol.com .

I just recently got involved with a brand new startup company called Track Ahead. We have a site that will launch in just a few weeks, but basically it's an education/social network which will enable its members to move forward to achieve their higher ed and career goals.
I am on the lookout for contributors from the educational sphere (high school guidance/admission counselors/college faculty) to write articles, blog, and become members to interact in the groups, forums and discussions. I am also interested in interviewing people from diverse career fields for the site as well. This may be a good opportunity for some of the folks that you work with, and I'd be glad to tell you more than this simplest of snippets if you'd like to know more.
We are also actively looking for non-profit organizations that work with young adults and of course, high school and college students to get involved as well. E-mail me at pammeb@trackahead.com.
