All members are encouraged to attend. McAllisters is located at 4325

February Speaker/Topic:
Dr. Jerry Hopkins / The ETBU Christian Writers Conference
Not many people have achieved
the level of professional, intellectual, and personal success as Dr. Jerry Hopkins, Professor of History at the East Texas
Baptist University in Marshall, Texas. In addition to being a professor and teacher, Dr. Hopkins has also served as a pastor
in Kentucky, Texas, and Great Britain. A man well-traveled, Dr. Hopkins has visited fourteen countries,
and he has studied at numerous institutions which include such diverse places as Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond,
Kentucky; Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth; Oxford University in Oxford,
England; and Texas A&M. Dr. Hopkins’s writing credentials are also impressive. He has
written articles and book reviews for numerous publications such as The East Texas Historical Journal and The Quarterly Review.
He is a member of several organizations, including serving as a sponsor for the East Texas Christian Writers Conference. As a writer, Dr. Hopkins knows about the importance of keeping a journal and he will be sharing that experience with
us at our next meeting. He will also have a word or two to say about why you should attend the East Texas Christian Writers
Conference this coming April.
ETWG meets Monday, February 8, 2010, in
downtown Tyler at the Chamber of Commerce at 6:30 pm. For more information and to RSVP, please contact us at etwg@hotmail.com.
