Corrected Location of Terri's Appearance At The World Chapter's Meeting on Nov. 10th.

Hello Folks,

In the previous blog post from our Local Chapters' Spotlight, we gave the wrong location for the upcoming World Chapter's meeting with their guest speaker, Terri Hardin. We wish to apologize for the error.

The corrected location is:
Osceola Library - West Osceola Branch
305 Campus Street
Celebration, Florida 34747

Terri Hardin
"Using Art To Rise Above The Ashes"

Join Terri Hardin, former Disney Imagineer and Muppeteer, as she recounts using art to rise above adversity and bullying, eventually becoming an A-list puppeteer and sculptor in the entertainment industry.

She will also be signing copies of her book, "Tales From Terri: A Disney Sculptor's Life," following her presentation.

More information on the Osceola Library system can be found at http://www.OsceolaLibrary.org

Come Meet The Whimsical Terri Hardin At The Next World Chapter's Meeting On Sunday, November 10, 2013 at 3:00 p.m.


Terri Hardin has been a sculptor for the Walt Disney Company for over 30 years. She became a Walt Disney Imagineer and worked for the company designing attractions for Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

"TALES from TERRI: A DISNEY SCULPTOR’S LIFE, Volume One," shows color plates of her highly collected works she created for special events at Disneyland. Many never got to see them as the sold out in the first hour they were offered. Included with these plates are stories of how they came to be and the journey it took to create them.

Lightly touching on her childhood and urging the reader to go for their dreams and never quit, she illustrates how artists wanting to pursue a job at Disney can prepare for the day when this opportunity will present itself.
