For seventeen years, floydwarriors.com has been helping families on the front lines battling cancer. Just weeks after losing her mother to the disease, floydwarriors’ Founder and Executive Director, Lisa Morahan, was diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s when she was divinely inspired to create a non-profit organization to provide practical help to families when it’s needed most.
Today, Lisa is cancer-free and floydwarriors’ army of volunteers has helped hundreds of families. As part of their mission, floydwarriors provides seed money to cancer survivors, helping them to pursue their God-given talents and dreams.
Now, Lisa is launching the floydwarriors’ The Copyright Club, a gathering of aspiring authors (who are also cancer survivors that intend to publish in 2026) to collaborate while motivating one another and celebrating the publishing process together. Lisa, currently the Assistant Administrative Director of Recreation for the City of Saratoga Springs, is an active member of Toastmasters International’s Saratoga Turf Talkers club, a Sunday School teacher at Grace Fellowship Saratoga, an avid pool player, and a passionate writer.
“I’m a cancer survivor with one finished children’s book manuscript (and four more in my head) who wants to help others publish their books, too,” she said.
Within the hallowed walls of Caffè Lena, writers and illustrators are encouraged to get their creative juices flowing, share ideas, and network.
Guest speakers, including published authors, illustrators, and publishers, will be invited to share tips, hurdles, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way on their own publishing journeys. The Copyright Club’s first guest speaker was Roger Goldsmith, Little Lake Books’ author and former owner of the Crafter’s Gallery.
