Tonight's meeting is entitled "Cinco Minutos with You," an event where a dozen members will read up to 5-minutes of their works to our members.

Malin Alegria to visit San Antonio

Malin Alegria, author of "Estrella's Quinceanera" and the soon-to-be-published "Sofi Mendoza's Guide to Getting Lost in Mexico" will be touring San Antonio the week of April 23rd. I have arranged for Malin to speak at Palo Alto College on Wednesday, April 25 at 11 a.m. in the Performing Arts Center. This event is free and open to the public. There will be a small reception and book-signing after her presentation.

After she is done at the college, I would like to take Malin to a late lunch downtown and would like to invite everyone who would like to join us--dutch, of course! I'm thinking "Mi Tierra's" but no solid plans have been made yet. Please email me if you would like to join us. I'm thinking we should be at the restaurant a little after 1 p.m.
