Hi, I am Alice Chambers, publisher and editor of Life In The Ozarks. I started Life In The Ozarks in October 2003. March 2009 was the last print edition out of our office and the online version, or ezine, began. Lu Holeman Poor, friend, editor and writer for Life In The Ozarks took over the print version until March 2010. Lu and I traveled throughout the Ozarks interviewing people who had some interesting stories to tell. We also visited some incredible places and found that there are so many unique places in the Ozarks we would probably never get to visit them all in our lifetimes. There's so many stories left to tell that I have dedicated this website to those stories. The Ozarks Region of Arkansas and Missouri are rich in history, interesting people and places, and great events. The writers who provide these wonderful stories are passionate about sharing them with you. Some of them are authors and you will be able to purchase their books in our online shop, as well as music, art and crafts from right here in the Ozarks, as soon as our shop is online.

"There was never yet an uninteresting life" - Mark Twain
Candlelight can bring comfort when someone we care about dies, but memories sustain us for a lifetime. Every life is a reservoir of stories. ImaStorycan help you write your own memoir or guide you through interviews with parents or grandparents. Think of it this way, when a person passes away, it is like a library burning down. Have you thought about this? ImaStorycan help you capture your life's written journey, your story saved for
future generations.
After presenting a number of life story workshops I discovered if you ask people what they would like to have gotten from their parents and
grandparents the majority would say, “More about their lives.”
Based on the strong interest in legacy writing and the slim number of people who write anything I’ve teamed up with software consultant and we’ve created an interactive program called ImaStory.
Thanks for logging into the website and letting us know what you think of our life story creation. http://imastory.com/

Calling All Men in Central Arkansas
Enthusiasm for a stellar performance introducing the most recent Christmas Season spells good things for the Conway Men’s Chorus this spring,
according to Director Sam Huskey. “We played to a full house last month, and I could not have been more pleased with our performance,” he
said.
Rehearsals for the current Season began on Monday, Feb. 6, and are held from 6 to 7 p.m. each Monday in the choir room of Woodland Heights Baptist
Church, Prince Street and Hogan Lane. The 2012 spring concert is scheduled for May 1. Accompanist for the group is Paul Bradley. Assistant directors include Dr. Greg Murry and Jim Loyd.
Men of all ages and talent are encouraged to participate, and no previous musical experience is necessary, according to Mike McCullars, president of the
group’s board of directors. “We love to sing, and we love giving back to our community,” he said.
More than 60 men participated in the December concert. Since its inception in 1998, the Chorus has built a solid base of support in the Central
Arkansas Area, according to McCullars. He invited anyone needing more information to call him at 501.682.4153 or email: info@conwaymenschorus.org.
