JUNE 7 COMADRAZO

Greetings, #MyComadres!

This month we gather to network and celebrate the beginning of Summer!   

 We are also donating toiletries and female undergarments to The Women’s Project, which helps homeless women in our city.  Comadre Miriam Gonzalez will join us and take our contributions to the shelter.  For more information on the Project, visit www.gsecdc.org.

 JUNE OUTINGS.  Let’s start with the June 12 (Tues) Museum Mile Festival from 6-9pm. Let’s meet at 6:00pm across the street from the Guggenheim Museum at 1071 Fifth Avenue (88^th Street).  Look for Comadre Maria Ferrer.  For more ideas on outings and links to interesting events, see back of this page.

 BOOK OF THE MONTH.  EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU GO HOME by Natalia Sylvester (Litte A).  It’s a fanciful story about a father-in-law who appears every year on the Day of the Dead to his new daughter-in-law asking for her help in reconciling with his estrange son. Set amid a Texas border town, run ins with immigration officers is common.  ATTENTION:  Amazon has the kindle copy on sale for $1.99 right now. Get your copy today.
