An incredible evening this past Monday--threatening clouds spit on us a bit (what else is new? Impossible to think we could get out of June without some rain on our little parade!) But then the sun came out and the women stepped up to the microphone and it was--perfect.
Brenda Janowitz, Saralee Rosenberg, Carol Hoenig and Ellen Meister were wonderful. Each read from their novels (with Saralee bravely reading from her current in-progress work) and each was funny, engaging and too-soon done. Debbi Honorof did a splendid job of guest-hosting. A very special night on Schoolhouse Green.
This Monday, July 6th, we feature our very own FREE BARBEQUE (courtesy of Home & Hearth Real Estate and Bondi & Iovino) and Patriotic readings. Over the last two years this has become a fan favorite-- come celebrate our Nation's independence with readings from Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore & Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, Martin Luther King, Jr.--and more!
NOTE: WE ARE ACCEPTING DONATIONS OF OLD CELL PHONES AND PAPERBACK NOVELS FOR FORWARDING TO OUR TROOPS.
The cell phones are being donated through Sen. Dean Skelos' office (www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com) .
The paperback novels are being collected by the Kiwanis Club of Oceanside, and will be donated directly to soldiers overseas through through Operation Paperback. Please note that these books are for soldiers--romance novels, kids books, etc. are not needed. See www.operationpaperback.org for more details.
The Readings start at 7pm at Schoolhouse Green, located on Foxhurst Road, just east of Long Beach Road, Oceanside NY. For more information, directions, etc. go to http://summergazeboreadings.blogspot.com/
