FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Rotary Clubs of Shrewsbury and Worcester announce the organizations’ second annual book launch event to be held on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, at 6:00 p.m. at the Shrewsbury High School. The event celebrates the published creative writing works of students from Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School and Doherty High School in Worcester, Grafton High School and Shrewsbury High School. “From My Heart 2018” gives students the opportunity to be creative beyond their normal classroom work, to be published which may provide an advantage for college applicants, to meet and socialize with other students who have participated and to build their self- esteem.
To celebrate, students, their families, teachers, local dignitaries and Rotarians will gather for dinner and a program on the 28th. The books will be distributed and several students will be asked to read their works to the program attendees. Local author, Henry Grampietro, will be the keynote speaker at the book launch party. The program will begin at approximately 7:30 p.m. Books may be purchased by the general public for a donation of $10.00.
Sponsors of the project and the event include: Because of Love; Bisceglia, Steinman & Fudeman, LLP; Central One Federal Credit Union; Cornerstone Bank; Worcester Railers Hockey Team; and Worcester Rotarians: Elaine Doherty, Gary MacConnell and Satya & Sheema Mitra; along with the Shrewsbury and Worcester Rotary Clubs.
