Please join GRAWA's Books & Bottles Committee on August 17th at 7:00 for an in-person meeting of GRAWA Books & Bottles.  Randi Prokou has graciously offered to host the meeting (115 Viennawood Dr, Rochester, New York 14618).  We invite you to join us to read and discuss, Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, which tells a heartfelt story about an unexpected friendship.

“Tova, a widowed night-shift janitor, had taken her job working at an aquarium in Washington to stay busy. It's something she’s been trying to do since her 18-year-old son disappeared on the Puget Sound 30 years earlier. While working, she forms an unlikely yet remarkable friendship with a giant pacific octopus named Marcellus. Marcellus is much smarter than he lets on. After he takes a liking to Tova, he helps her uncover the mystery behind the years-long disappearance of her son.” 

Our featured cocktail will be The Blue Lagoon, made with vodka, lemonade and Blue Curaçao.  A mocktail version will also be available.
