Garrison Keillor Visits The Book Nook & Java Shop!
Well, it was quite a month here at The Book Nook & Java Shop…May was very busy with the Wine Tasting/Book Signing on Saturday May, 3rd. We had more than 50 people come and enjoy Michigan wines, learn more about the local vineyards and wineries and hear from the two authors who researched (all while wine tasting :) to write the book…From the Vine: Exploring Michigan Wineries. Thank you to the White Lake Arts Council for the use of their wine glasses!
Then…this past Monday, May 19th we once again enjoyed the good humor and gracious Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home Companion. Keillor has authored more than a dozen books, starred as himself in his big screen movie last year and has more than 30 million listeners every Saturday on NPR!
We raised $1,000.00 for adult literacy
(Read Muskegon) and that will pay for a new assessment book to help determine their reading and writing skills along with tutoring them in basic reading and writing skills.
I would like to take time to recognize those who volunteered their time to help with this event and very worthy cause. It is a great amount of time and effort to not only bring to White Lake, someone such as Garrison Keillor but to utilize the event as a fundraiser. I could not have done it and successfully without the help of the following:
Ann and Bob Erler
Alice Gamble
Judy Stojack
Linda Pyle
Laurie DeVries
Tommy Foster
Susan Harrison - Wolffis
