Miriam Weinstein will be speaking at the Sawyer Free Library on Oct. 25 at 7pm, sponsored by the Gloucester Lyceum. She will be talking about her new book, All Set For Black, Thanks: A New Look At Mourning. Part memoir, part how-to, it ditches the sanctimony and gives us the help we actually need when dealing with grief. It is deeply felt and funny. Weinstein is a long time resident of Cape Ann.
The evening is a fundraising event to celebrate and support GEF, and the organization’s work in the Gloucester Public Schools. In addition to the silent and live auctions, which will include the garden benches painted by students at each of the Gloucester schools, the night will feature a raffle with prizes from area businesses like Styles on Main, Pop Gallery and Treetop Yoga.
Plus hors d’oeuvres, dessert, cash bar, live music, dancing, birthday games and more!
Tickets are $125, reserve your ticket online at thinkthebest.org
Please contact Volunteer Mayoral Liasion Roseanne Cody to volunteer or ask any questions. E: rcody13@gmail.com / P: 978-335-0755
