Barnes & Noble Book Fair on Black Friday

| Dr. Scarpino reads in character as Big Anthony to children at Barnes & Noble on Black Friday. |
A big THANK YOU to Dr. David Scarpino for donning the Big Anthony costume from
Strega Nona by Tomi DePaola. Dr. Scarpino participated in the Barnes and Noble Book Fair on Black Friday as
the guest reader. In preparation he contacted the elementary librarians and asked that they send him their favorite
books so the children could pick from the group. It was a wonderful 45 minutes. Thanks to all our volunteers who
helped wrap patron's gifts that day. Barnes & Noble has been an excellent partner to the Foundation for years.
We thank them for their continued support. Mary Fioretti, Chairman
