NLG Presents… July Event

The July event…

“Turning Truth into Fiction”

A lively discussion about challenges facing immigrants in the US, as well as the search by all for one’s place in society, followed Iris Gomez’s presentation of her recently published novel “Try to Remember”. It was fascinating hearing an author — our very own immigration lawyer extraordinaire, Iris Gomez– explain how she constructed a novel from her own experiences. Then, after book purchasing and signings, many of us stayed together for dinner with Iris while others moved on to “Happy Hour”.

Please send us your suggestions for future “Think and Drink” programs.
