Oceanview Senior Living presents Author Sue Fagalde Lick

January 20, 2012
2:00 pm

Meet the Author

Oceanview Senior Living continues its’ series of Town Hall Meetings with a presentation by author Sue Fagalde Lick this Friday January 20th at 2 PM. 

Ms. Lick will be discussing and reading excerpts from two of her books. 

Stories Grandma Never Told: Portuguese Women in California and her most recent book Shoes Full of Sand.

In Stories Grandma Never Told sixty two women tell their stories about what it is like growing up Portuguese and share their photos in this new edition of an old favorite published by Oregon’s Blue Hydrangea Productions.

Shoes Full of Sand is a collection of essays that follow the lives of two aging Californians and their dog Sadie as they flee Silicon Valley for the alleged good life on the Oregon Coast. “Go north,” the realtors claimed. “You can buy four houses for the price of one Saratoga fixer-upper. The air is clear, the traffic is light, and everyone is friendly. All those rumors about how Californians are not welcome north of the border are simply not true. Nor is it true that it rains 80 inches a year and sometimes even snows. Come on, it’s the beach!”

Please join us for this fascinating discussion, refreshments will be served.

Oceanview is located at the north end of Newport in the Agate Beach area.

Directions:  from Hwy. 101 turn East onto NE Avery, follow Avery up the hill to NE 71st Street.

525 NE 71st Street Newport. OR 97365
