Chuck and Robin,
This is a great reading series in Corona del Mar, for students and faculty who are in the Orange County area.  Can you pass it on, since two UCR-connected people are there this time?
Thanks,
Susan Straight

Our salon will take place at:

Scape Gallery

$20.00 includes nibbles, sips and sometimes cake. Advance tickets are
required. Walk-ins are discouraged as seating is limited to about 50. We're
going to stay in the gallery for this one (as opposed to out in the lobby),
so if you're interested, sign up soon.

Paying using PayPal is easiest. A direct link from my Website will take you
there.  Go to www.penonfire.com and click on the "speakers series" link.

I hope to see you soon!
