Please help us to spread the word by forwarding this email to your friends and family and please bring someone with you. In this digital age we are having a tough time getting people to come out to old-fashioned face-to-face events. Any help that you can provide in getting us a decent crowd will be appreciated by me and the presenters. Please help us to create a network of IA book lovers. We will set up a book market in the library. We will have basic wine and cheese. Thanks a thousand--Dominic<br /><br /> Dear Friends---I have invited a number of very talented local Italian American writersto the Italian Cultural Center to do presentations of their work on June 1 from 7 to 10 pm.Our purpose is to celebrate the printed and spoken word in both Englishand Italian as it helps us to define ourselves in our multi-culturalworld. We want to create a network of IA book lovers. Our "Authors' Night" will feature readings, networking, and the selling/ signing of books.<br /><br />Among our presenters are: Paul Giaimo of Highland Community College, Author Anna Clara Ionta, Poet Gino Impellizeri, Novelist Carlo Lombardo, Gloria Nardini (Bella Figura), Pam DeFiglio (journalist Daily Herald), Kathy Catrambone (Taylor St.), several surprise guests and an open mike segment.To help build up the audience for all presenters, we need YOU tobring some book lovers with you. I know that we are a dying breed, butwe must stick together. If you have some special wine or cheese that you would like to sharewith our hardy group, we will add it to the basic light refreshment farethat we ordinarily offer at Cultural Center events. <a title="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=" btng="Google+Search&um=" q="italian+cultural+center&near=" fb="1&cid=" sa="X&oi=" resnum="1&ct=" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&um=1&q=italian+cultural+center&near=Chicago,+IL&fb=1&cid=0,0,17622940910723844483&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image"></a>thedomnoreply@blogger.com
