I am so happy that I can finally share the good news: Columbia Gorge Community College has officially been awarded an NEA Big Read grant! I’m so thankful to CGCC for giving me for the opportunity to write this grant and to the National Endowment for the Arts for funding the $15,000 to make this program possible.
1000 free copies of Into The Beautiful North will be available at The Dalles Public Library, The Hood River Public Library, and other locations throughout the Gorge. Copies will be available in both English and in Spanish. There will also be free cultural presentations and performances by Latinx speakers and artists.
Special thanks to Mr. Urrea for waiving 75% of his usual author fee so that we could afford to bring him to the Gorge.
