Just a reminder to all members that the Early Bird discount for the July conference will expire at the end of the day on April 30. You will still be able to register later, but the price will go up. If you haven’t registered, you can check out the programs and register now for the conference.

This conference will be phenomenal (and you know I don’t exaggerate!) so be sure to register and experience the learning, networking and fun!

An Evening with Elissa New at the Museum of Tolerance

Thursday, December 3, 2009 7:30pm

When Elisa New held her great-grandfather Jacob Levy’s cane for the first time in 1997, its finely crafted design led her to see that her family’s story was not the standard coming-to-America tale that she had once assumed. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery with her daughter Yael, New traveled from the suburban parlors of Baltimore to World War II battlefields to trace previous generations. Jacob’s Cane is more than one family’s mysteries unlocked: it is a story which captures the rich texture of life in Lithuania, London and America.

Elisa New is a professor of English and American Literature and Language at Harvard University.

A book signing will follow the program.

Free Underground Parking. No Charge. Reservations Required. Call 310-772-2526.
