2011 – 2012 Program Year
Spring Luncheon
Come have lunch and hear Helen Thorpe talk about her new book, Just Like Us.
From the publisher’s website:
Just Like Us tells the story of four high school students whose parents entered this country illegally from Mexico. We meet the girls on the eve of their senior prom in Denver, Colorado. All four of the girls have grown up in the United States, and all four want to live the American dream, but only two have documents. As the girls attempt to make it into college, they discover that only the legal pair sees a clear path forward. Their friendships start to divide along lines of immigration status.
Attendance at this luncheon is by registration. The ticket price is $35 per person, and a portion of the ticket price goes to fund our Brown/Ricketts/Udick Grant.
