SUMMARY:Friends of Forbes Annual Meeting and Trustees Award Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Trustees of Forbes Library cordially invite you to the 
 Gertrude P. Smith Trustees Award Ceremony to Richard Szlosek for his 
 dedication and volunteer service to Forbes Library on Wednesday\, April 2\, 
 at 6:30 PM in the Coolidge Museum at the Forbes Library. You can also watch 
 via live stream.\n \nThe event will begin with a brief business meeting of 
 the Friends of Forbes Library followed by a presentation by Trustee Award 
 winner\, Richard Szlosek\, who will read excerpts from his two recently 
 printed anthologies\, Essays on Coolidge and Some Thoughts from Rich's 
 Corner and share tales of Northampton history.\n \nRichard is a lifelong 
 Northampton resident and an alum of Amherst College and Western New England 
 Law. He worked in the Szlosek family owned Imperial Bakery before becoming 
 a family law attorney. He began writing after taking a Learning in 
 Retirement course and wrote a column "slice of life" in the Daily Hampshire 
 Gazette and is a frequent contributor to the Gazette and the Conz Street 
 Chronicle. He has volunteered in the Coolidge Museum since 2010 as a tour 
 guide\, researcher\, writer and board member.\n \nWe hope you can join us 
 for this special evening.\n \nI suppose you could call me a "rememberist" 
 as I often seemed to write nostalgic essays\, mostly because I have always 
 been proud of my hometown. ~ Richard Szlosek in the introduction to Some 
 Thoughts From Rich's Corner
