SAVE THE DATE: ACE: BOOK DISCUSSION DAY
MONDAY, APRIL 27, 2026
63 Annual Meeting
Join the Association for Continuing Education (ACE) community for an enriching day of discussion and fellowship.
Ocean Vuong transports us to the fictional town of East Gladness, Connecticut and immerses us in the lives of its inhabitants—the kinships, the friendships, the trials, the extraordinary in the ordinary which Vuong depicts as acts of “…kindness without hope.”
“To be alive, and try to be a decent person, and not turn it into anything big or grand, that’s the hardest thing of all…If you can be nobody, and stand on your own two feet for as long as I have, that’s enough,” observes Grazina, the 82 year old Lithuanian immigrant. Be prepared for an absorbing read — tender, humorous, exhilarating, and riveting—down to the marrow bone of daily life.
More details to follow. Please plan to attend!
