On Sat Jan 28, 2012, Staten Island OutLOUD kicked off our “Tom Sawyer” series for The Big Read. Joan & Gary Moore made music, Jim Hill & Alexander Arrindell conjured up the spirit of Mark Twain. Doris Nielsen & Michele Evans-Arrindell welcomed graciously, and 150 Islanders brought Hannibal to life! Thanks to our wonderful friends at the Richmondtown branch library, for their warm hospitality, as aways!
