FFR/Princeton BTGALA, Yale GALA, Harvard GLC & GALA-ND/SMC Present... An Intercollegiate LGBT Alumni Summer Dinner! New York, NY With A Special Reading from the Queer Issue of Words Without Borders by Barbara Rosenblat

FFR/Princeton BTGALA's Shawn Cowls is bringing us back to People for another special Summer dinner! This special event has had a tremendous turn out of folks of all ages each time - 100 people came last August!

After cocktails and appetizers, we will have a special presentation upstairs by the renowned audio book narrator Barbara Rosenblat reading from the Queer Issue of Words Without Borders. Then we'll return downstairs for a buffet dinner with delicious food for all. You can eat upstairs or downstairs as we have the whole restaurant for this great event! We'll be shaking up the menu and going with an Italian theme. We'll start with about an hour of passed appetizers and mingling over cocktails (cash bar). In addition to People's regular legendary cocktails, there will be a $9 Caipirinha.

Words Without Borders opens doors to international exchange through translation, publication, and promotion of the best international literature. Every month they publish select prose and poetry on our site. In addition they develop print anthologies, work with educators to bring literature in translation into classrooms, host events with foreign authors, and maintain an extensive archive of global writing.

Barbara Rosenblat is one of the most beloved and sought after voices in the recording industry. She has won numerous awards and accolades including 8 Audie Awards, the Oscar of the Audiobook industry. The many best sellers she has voiced range from 'Bridget Jones' Diary', to 'Anne Frank Remembered' to 'Tales of the City'. With a body of work spanning over 400 titles, one critic was moved to write, "Barbara Rosenblat is to audiobooks what Meryl Streep is to film." She will be reading "The World of Men and the World of Women."

We invite gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered men and women alums from the Ivy League and Seven Sisters schools and our friends from NYU, Stanford, Duke, UVA, Georgetown, Northwestern, Amherst, USC & Emory friends join in. Students over the age of 21 are also welcome. Look for me and come mix it up with us!

Thanks to our cohosts
