This in-person event (in Manhattan) was the perfect opportunity to mingle with fellow book lovers, enjoy delicious cocktails, and toast to the future of literature. Photos of this unforgettable evening of fun and celebration are up on our Facebook page. Learn about the newest program at Pen Parentis -- created specifically to ensure perpetual representation of our community on a governance level! Audience members had opportunity to chat with several Board members, Rob Arnold from Poets House and Donna Brodie from the Writer's Room along with many other literary guests, all present to meet and mingle with author Sandell Morse and Marina Budhos, the Author Ambassador who will guide the creation of this inventive solution! The crowd was delighted by musical guests Caleb & Maddie as well as Good Morning America's Book Club Pick Vanessa Walters! THANKS to Sarah Farivar-Hayes for donating her lovely home for the event.
