CFOL PRESENTED AUTHOR APRICOT IRVING IN OCTOBER
Award-winning author Apricot Irving read excerpts from and discussed her memoir, The Gospel of Trees, to a rapt audience. This work chronicled her family’s several sojourns in Haiti, beginning when Apricot was 6 years old, as her father endeavored to aid in reforestation of the island. The stresses on the family as well as the few successes and many failures of missionary efforts are set within the context of Haiti’s history and culture. The Gospel of Trees is available from the library.
FREE HOLIDAY PROGRAM
On Friday, December 7 at 4:00 p.m. your CFOL will sponsor a performance by the local holiday band, the Yule Logs. Past performances by this popular group have drawn standing-room-only audiences, so be sure to attend this entertaining program.
