Hi Folks!
This fall we are going to be reading 'The Soloist". It is a book about a journalist who can't think of a story to do for his newspaper, and meets an interesting violnist, Nathaniel Ayers whose Juliard days have turned into Skid Row in a bad area of Los Angelos. Throughout the book, you see both of their talents and struggles. This book relates to our because we are hosting along with our college,Metro State, Project Homeless Connect which is an event that happens once every year that connects home-less individuals with services such as housing, health care, finding a job, enrolling in types of schooling and other programs in the community. This book ties charmingly with PHC and we are very proud as an office, to be a part of this event and help to end homelessness. Here is a book review from the LA Times about the book, "The Soloist". If you are interested in getting a free copy and doing a book discussion with the Center for Urban Connections please stay tuned to our blog or come into our office in Tivoli 243.
Thanks for reading and have a lovely day!
