Discover a sweeping historical saga of the Italian Renaissance as we continue our book discussion series with @greenwichpenwomen with Mask of Dreams by local writer Leigh Grant. The discussion will take place on February 6 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm in the Youth Services Program Room. Please register with the link in our bio.

#repost @greenwichpenwomen "We all know what wearing a mask is like... Read the book. It could be worse."

Leigh Grant, Greenwich Pen Women Letters member and president is pleased to announce the publication of her historical novel, Mask of Dreams, on adventure, masking and disguise, and romance in 15th-century Venice and the Balkans.

"This work has been quite an odyssey for me as well as a fascinating examination of the Mediterranean world when America was just beginning to appear on the world map. I hope that you will consider a visit to the world I have recreated!"

@leighgrantauthor credits Greenwich Pen Women, especially the LETTERS critique group, for being a big part of writing this novel. She sends her thanks to everyone who ever read or made a comment on the book.

Perrot and the Garden Club of Old Greenwich are co-sponsoring the virtual program, Why & How We Need to Protect Our Streams, with Michael Jastremski, Watershed Conservation Director of the Housatonic Valley Association on Wednesday, February 8th, 2023, at 7 PM. Register today with the link in our bio.

Climate change, development, and the decisions of individuals and communities have led to unprecedented stress on streams and on the flora and fauna that depend on them to survive. Mike will talk about how our streams are connected to Long Island Sound; the impacts that our land management decisions have on water quality, fish, and wildlife; and achievable steps we can all incorporate into our gardening and property management that will improve the health of the waters we love.

Mike joined HVA as the Watershed Conservation Director in 2012. Mike and his team manage a wide variety of projects related to watershed and stream management, water quality protection, aquatic habitat restoration, environmental education and river access enhancement. Mike’s work has focused on understanding the relationship that people and communities have with their streams, and making those relationships mutually beneficial. He has a Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture with an emphasis in Conservation Biology and Ecosystem Management from the University of Michigan’s School of Natural Resources and Environment, and is certified as a Floodplain Manager through the Association of State Floodplain Managers. He lives in Canton, Conn., with his son, River, and their black lab, Tsuga.
