Book Reading: Meg. by Yonkers author Jason Medina

Mr. Medina will speak on his newly released murder mystery MEG, a story inspired by true events. The Q&A and Book Signing will begin at 1 pm.

Medina is an active board member of the Yonkers Historical Society and Founder and Team Leader of Yonkers Ghost Investigators.  Since retiring from NYPD after 23 years of service, he has focused his time on writing, photography and local history research.   

A prolific and lifelong author, Jason has written several books for the mature reader, including the very popular Ghosts and Legends of Yonkers, A Ghost in New Orleans, and The Manhattanville Incident.  He also has written the Kings Park series about the Kings Park Psychiatric Center, the abandoned state hospital once housing thousands of tortured souls.

It will be a fascinating afternoon!

Recognition of the Contributions of Indigenous Peoples.

We thank the indigenous peoples, caretakers of Mother Earth for many millennia, realizing and respecting her gifts of water, fire and air. This relationship is based on their profound spiritual connection to Mother Earth, the connection that guided their ancestors to practice reverence, humility and reciprocity.

Everything taken is used with the understanding only what is needed is taken. What is taken is watchfully used, aware of the amount taken and the method with which it is taken, to ensure future generations are not put in peril

We gratefully acknowledge the Native peoples on whose ancestral homelands we present our .performances, as well as the Native Communities who make their home in the Yonkers area today.

By caring for Mother Earth, you care for all of us.
