The Eden Prairie Reads book this year is “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien. The annual Eden Prairie Reads community event is tomorrow night at St. Andrews Lutheran Church. The agenda for the night looks like this:
Book discussions – 6:00-6:45 p.m.
Vietnam vet panel – 6:45-7:30 p.m.
Lynn Elling, WWII veteran presentation – 7:30-7:45 p.m.
Children honoring vets – 7:50-8:00 p.m.
Tim Kasprowicz, a teacher at Eden Prairie High School and a veteran of the Army, Bob Grant a veteran of the Marines, Lou Ellingson a veteran of Navy swift boat operations, and Wes Dunsmore a Marines infantry veteran have agreed to serve as a panel of Vietnam War veterans and to reflect on their experiences in that war. I will be moderating their discussion
The annual Eden Prairie Reads is a good opportunity to learn, talk about and consider Big Ideas as a community. There’s no admission fee. Even if you didn’t read the book, come on out to the event tomorrow night and join in the discussion.
I’ll see yo there.
