At this program, we will be joined by a registered nurse from our local hospital. During this program, we will learn about the importance of why health literacy is important to us, our loved ones, everyone. We will learn how to read prescriptions, how to make doctors appointments, and learn how to advocate for ourselves in a medical setting. We will also have time for a Q&A, where patrons can ask our guest speaker questions they want/need to know.

I reached out to Maria, who wrote a book about her father’s restaurant. She did not charge for the program, but did ask if she could sell books at the end. Join us for an evening with Maria Palmer, author of On the Rocks. On the Rocks chronicles the real-life journey of restaurateur Joseph Constanzo Jr., from his rise to success in the 1990s as an owner of the highly acclaimed Primadonna Restaurant, radio host, columnist, and aspiring politician to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in an investigation and a stint in federal prison. Constanzo is a complex character, whom readers will admire for his confidence and rebuke for his arrogance, will love for his generosity and despise for his egotism, and will learn from in both his attention to detail and lack thereof. This driven, not-your-average-Joe is an unforgettable character who achieves the seemingly impossible but can’t help getting in his own way.
