Oma Sue's Blog

Hi – I’m Sue Reyzlik. I recently realized my life-long dream of building a writing hut in the backyard. The writing hut serves as a creative space and home office for Oma Publishing. This blog will be intermingled with family history, varied experiences and insights on being a Grandma (Oma), creating my special backyard space, as well as, my “retirement” career as a self-publisher of children’s stories. And perhaps a little bit on the 32 years I served as Executive Director for Keep Fremont Beautiful and the wonderful people who are sharing this adventure.

My First Book Signing

​            I held my first book signing event this past weekend! And I think it went well. I really didn’t know what to expect and honestly, with all the flooding and chaos in our community, I was just hoping someone would show up. About 30 to 40 someone’s showed up, which was a pleasant surprise.   
            I sold several books – which was also a pleasant surprise. All the proceeds from the sale of the books are deposited in a Special Needs Trust for my granddaughter, Gracyn Mae, who has muscular dystrophy. My daughter Sara and granddaughter Gracyn were able to attend the book signing and talk to people about the Muscular Dystrophy Association. ​
            We looked very cute in our pink “Fierce Freddy” shirts! Grandson Mac was in attendance and a big help carrying in all the supplies, cookies, drinks, books, etc.

            I had a collection box for people to donate their change to the MDA and we had a sign-up sheet for the MDA Muscle Walk. Gracyn has a Muscle Walk Team called “Gracyn Maehem”.  The Muscle Walk will be held in Omaha on May 4th and if you would like more information you can contact us at omapublish@gmail.com  In just two hours, we collected $47.20 in change for the MDA. Finding a cure is important and every bit raised, helps!
            Leila Hybl, Executive Director of Keep Fremont Beautiful, attended the book signing and handed out information on the Great American Clean up and future KFB programs and projects. I was so glad she and her daughter were able to attend, given the recent flooding disaster in our community. Annabelle and Gracyn became fast friends and they were so adorable playing together.                 
            Oma Publishing also had Posters and T-shirts available for purchase – and we sold a few! The profits from the “Freddy Fierce” Posters are for Flood Relief. From now until Earth Day, April 22, 2019, we are offering Freddy prints for sale with donated funds going to the Fremont Area United Way Flood Relief.  You can order a print on the website or if you live in Fremont, you may call Oma Publishing at 402-721-0977 to place your order.  
            Oma Publishing will be hosting more book signing events and we hope that you will check our website for upcoming dates and locations.  I would also recommend that you check out the Keep Fremont Beautiful website at www.keepfremontbeautiful.org for more information on upcoming events.
