Antoinette Botsford tells Haitian Stories at the Senior Center at 12:15, right after the lunch to encourage donations for Rosedanie Cadet’s Haitian project. “Though I have never been there, the Haitian stories touched me, and perhaps fed the “Creole” part of my own heritage,” Antoinette says.  Middle schoolers encouraged to bring a significant elder, but all are welcome.
