Please come to the Taste of Italy being held at the Great American Beer hall. This is a great place to meet people and grab a pint. They’ll be music, food and beer. As a friend once said “What more do you want?” The cost is $45/person and the proceeds go to charity.

While her show hasn’t sold out just yet, this is a show you have to see. Since you’re here, you can also check out one of her many books from our own Medford Public library and also see what this week’s events look like at the same time. A “twofer” as they say!
