As part of its Lunchtime Lecture program, the Lourie Center will host local author Tom Poland on Thursday March 10, 11:30 am–12:30 pm.  Mr. Poland will speak about his newest book Georgialina- A Southland as We Knew It.  

Georgialina-A Southland as We Knew It brings to life once more the fading and often forgotten unfiltered character of the South as Poland takes readers down back roads to old home places, covered bridges, and country stores. He recalls hunting for snipes and for lost Confederate gold; the joys of beach music, the shag, and cruising Ocean Drive; and the fading traditions of sweeping yards with homemade brooms, funeral processions, calling catfish, and other customs of southern heritage and history. Peppered with candid memoir, Georgialina also introduces readers to a host of quirky and memorable characters who have populated the southland of Poland’s meanderings.

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch is provided courtesy of the lecture sponsor Senior Matters/One Matters.  RSVP for lunch by phone or email to the Lourie Center, maximum 30 lunches.  Copies of the paperback Georgialina will be available for purchase and signing, $20.
