Michael Krasny in Conversation with Calvin Trillin. 

 KQED radio talk show host Michael Krasny will be joined by humorist Calvin Trillin, best known for his writings in The New Yorker and The Nation, his colorful essays on food ("The Tummy Trilogy" among them), and his wry commentary on American life.  This is a fundraiser to benefit the Community Center.  It will be a special evening at The French Garden Restaurant & Bistro.  We’ll have great food and drink, fabulous company, and our speakers will undoubtedly be witty, engaging, and very entertaining.  Judging from Calvin Trillin’s many prior appearances, including most recently on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, and on The Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, we can expect this event to be enjoyable and memorable.  This will be a limited seating event, offered at $150 per person. Sponsorships are now available, in advance of tickets being offered to the general public.  Sponsorship levels are $5000, $1000, and $500.  All include tickets to the event and recognition in our program and/or advertising.  Sponsorships can be arranged through any of our Committee members, or by calling Diana Rich, 707-823-1511.
