Upcoming Events

March's Book Club will be hosted by MaryRose Reed on Monday, March 18th at 7pm.

We'll be reading and discussing Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri.

Jhumpa Lahiri, was the Winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The Bengali novelist is perhaps the first Indian to win the prestigious US prize. Navigating between the Indian traditions they've inherited and a baffling new world, the characters in Lahiri's elegant, touching stories seek love beyond the barriers of culture and generations. A dazzling collection of stories featuring dislocated Indian Americans trying to navigate through the thickets contemporary American culture.

Valentine's Day was a little more provocative after reading The Curious Sofa... "Reading is fundamental". Thank you Kelly :D !!

Melissa is in training for the MS walk on April 21st. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an illness diagnosed in over 350,000 persons in the United States today. Even now, much is to be learned. In brief, what is known about MS is that it is signified by more than one (multiple) area of inflammation and scarring of the myelin in the brain and spinal cord. Myelin is the tissue that covers and protects our nerve fibers. When this occurs, nerve "communication" is disrupted. Thus, a person with MS experiences varying degrees of neurological impairment depending on the location and extent of the scarring. Although there is no known cure for MS at this time, there is much that can be done to make their life easier. Support Melissa in her fight... Send monies or walk with her on April 21st. For more information email her.
