The Retiree Association would also like invite the retirees to read a book by Louise Erdrich and attend her lecture on Friday, February 19 at 7:30 p.m., Sister Firmin Escher Auditorium, Benedicta Arts Center. 

 

Acclaimed author Louise Erdrich will present a thought-provoking evening centering on her work, the importance of creativity in our lives and its vital place in our communities.
