I have copied below a press release that I sent out last week regarding
the finale for the Winona Reads Community Book Project. I believe that
this public discussion will be invaluable for our community regarding
not only the Hmong refugees who live here, but all "newcomers" who
bring a different cultural background to Winona. I encourage all--even
if you haven't read the book (but I hope you do)-- to participate in
this discussion.
Vicki Englich
For Immediate Release:
The Winona Reads Community Book Project will host the final public
discussion about this year's selected book, The Spirit Catches You and
You Fall Down, by Anne Fadiman, on Sunday, February 8 at 4:00 p.m. at
the Winona Middle School cafeteria. There will be a panel discussion
with representatives of the local Hmong community, retired educators
Peter Flick and Carolyn Collins, and Dr. William Davis. Members of the
audience will have an opportunity to ask questions of the panel members
and address the issues discussed in Fadiman's engaging book. This event
is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
Winona Reads is sponsored by the Friends of the Winona Public Library,
the Winona Public Library, The American Association of University Women
(AAUW), and Community Education. For more information contact Vicki
Englich at 454-1215.
