The Union Writing Group is having a 10th year anniversay reading on Monday June 11 at 8 p.m. It’s at the Old Stone House. Did I mention that there will be cocktails. Come listen. Hang out. Party. It’s a great group of writers, many of whom have been meeting every Tuesday night for ten years.

OTBKB fave and former Park Slope resident, Marian Fontana, whose critically acclaimed and best selling memoir “A Widow’s Walk” about life after her husband, Lt. David Fontana of Squad 1 died on 9/ll, will be reading from hilarious and poignant new memoir-in-progress about dating. She will have you laughing and crying: that’s her gift. Great for anyone whose ever endured the humiliation and promise of dating. Other readers include:

–Louise Crawford reading from a story called, “Halloween Blonde.”
–Mary Crowley reading a set of beautiful poems.
