Page 10 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • October 14, 2009 Glen Rock Roundup Graduation Ball fundraiser set Glen Rock residents are invited to support the Graduation Ball by purchasing fundraiser tickets from the Glen Rock High School Home and School Association. The fundraiser includes a grand prize of up to $15,000 and 10 prizes of up to $500 each. The winner will be announced at the Nov. 21 Beefsteak Dinner at Saint Leon’s Church in Fair Lawn. “Grad Ball” is a 52-year tradition in Glen Rock, and provides a safe, alcohol free graduation night event, with funds raised by parents. For details and fundraiser tickets (priced at $100 each), contact Janet Jones at jjabbey79@hotmail.com or Laura Hunko at laurahunko@yahoo.com. Volunteers will be selling tickets at Glen Rock stores and at home Glen Rock Football games throughout October and November. Only 400 tickets will be sold. Ulinich novel to be discussed The next Neighbors: Travel the World in Your Backyard Book Discussion will be Monday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the Glen Rock Library. “Petropolis” by Anya Ulinich will be discussed. Copies are at the library’s reference desk. This informal discussion group is a monthly discussion of interesting, stimulating and well written books that revolve around the immigrant experience in the United States. Ulinich’s Sasha Goldberg is the ultimate outsider from the Siberian town of Asbestos 2. Her father takes off for the United States, and leaves Sasha to navigate adolescence in a bleak apartment with her overbearing mother. Sasha falls in love with an art school drop-out who lives inside a concrete pipe in the town dump. Following her heart gets her into trouble at home, so she flees Russia as a mail-order bride and ends up in suburban Arizona. Sasha manages to escape her fiancé and embarks on a misadventure-filled journey across America in search of her father. Ulinich has crafted an unforgettable story of familial fault lines, cross-cultural confusion, and the allure of new beginnings. The Glen Rock Public Library is located at 315 Rock Road.
