Mardi Gras Night at Anthony Jack's

The Rotary Club of Southington is proud to announce its 2nd annual Mardi Gras Night to be held on Fat Tuesday, February 28, at Anthony Jack's Wood-fired Grill. The proceeds of this fundraiser have been designated for relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Entertainment will be provided by Guitar George Baker and his band, The George Baker Experience. All Music Guide states that Baker "may be one of the best-kept secrets in the mainstream blues world." Hailing from New Roads, Louisiana, Mr. Baker's impressive resume includes stints as music director/guitarist touring with Marvin Gaye for three years and as a member of the house band at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. His new CD/DVD, Mojo Lady just received a 3-star rating by Downbeat Magazine.

Chef Barry DePaolo has promised to again serve up some very tasty cuisine, which will be accompanied by several interesting fine wines. Tickets to the event are $65/person and can be obtained at Anthony Jack's, by calling John Ryan at (860) 276-3843, or from any Southington Rotary member. If you were there last year, you know what a great night it was; if you missed out, do NOT allow it to happen again. BE THERE for great fun while aiding the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

John Ryan gave an overview of a new program to stimulate reading in our community. The following is reprinted from the Southington Library website.

Southington Reads – A Community Gets on the Same Page

Get on the Same Page with your friends, coworkers and neighbors. Visit the Southington Library and charge out your copy of Dalton Conley’s, Honky (check availability). The Southington Reads Committee under the auspices of The Southington Library and Museum are spearheading, a One Town One Book project – SOUTHINGTON READS (SR).

The Southington Reads Committee is excited by the concept of a large, town wide, heterogeneous group within our community all of whom will read the same book. The community then has the opportunity to attend a program where the book's author will speak about his work and answer questions regarding the concepts evoked in the participants' minds while reading his book.

Southington Reads Committee invites you to GET ON THE SAME PAGE come to the Grand Book Discussion with Dalton Conley, professor of Sociology at New York University, March 8, 2006 @ Southington High School Auditorium, 7:00 PM. The author will be available after the discussion to sign your copy of his book. Copies of Honky will be available for purchase the evening of this free event.
