Four Maple Crest published authors were honored in late July in the Family Room at Maple Crest, with a reception and book-signing event.

Click here for photos of all the authors.

They are Ruth Ayers, Carol Diller, Carl Wolf and Claralice Wolf. In 2001, Ruth Ayers and Carol Diller, along with Elnor Rodehefer, Amelia Basinger, and Dorothy Williams, authored the cookbook " Memories of Mother's Cooking (Cooking in the Swiss Community 1915-1935)."
