Date: October 6th 2007

Hello to all,

The Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home in Savannah, Georgia has reopened!

Through October, we will be open from 1-4 p.m. Fri-Sun; hours for the rest of the fall are still to be determined, although we will certainly continue to be open from 1-4 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. Please email us for further info at info@flanneryoconnorhome.org.

In celebration of our reopening and restoration, we are planning a major party for the evening of Oct. 13. A copy of the invitation can be found at the bottom of this email. Please attend if you find yourself in Savannah.

Also, on Sunday, Oct. 14, at 2:30 p.m. at the Jepson Center for the Arts in Savannah, we will be screening "Wise Blood." Discussion after the screening will be facilitated by O'Connor scholar Dr. Marshall Bruce Gentry and producer Stratton Leopold, who worked on the acclaimed John Huston prodution.
