Rosie Presents! An Evening with Shelley Blanton-Stroud, Author of Poster Girl
Join us for an exciting in-person event in Biancoverde at Hotel Mac’s private banquet room in the heart of historical downtown Point Richmond, CA!
On the occasion of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, Rosie the Riveter Trust will be presenting a conversation with author Shelley Blanton-Stroud about her critically acclaimed historical novel, Poster Girl. The book centers around the real women behind “Rosie the Riveter,” who took on welding jobs in Richmond’s shipyards to help the war effort in a compelling mystery that casts light on the struggle for women’s and minority rights, the labor movement, and the forces of social changes at the time. The San Francisco Book Review praised the book as “an excellent read…torn out of the headlines of World War II…with sympathetic characters, set in a place and time that leaps off the page.”
Your evening will include drinks, heavy appetizers, and a conversation with Sarah Jo James, Development Manager at Rosie the Riveter Trust, and author Shelley Blanton-Stroud, followed by a Q&A with the audience and a book signing. Come and experience an unforgettable evening filled with literature, laughter, and great company. See you there!

About Shelley Blanton-Stroud
Shelley grew up in California’s Central Valley, the daughter of Dust Bowl immigrants who made good on their ambition to get out of the field. Recently retired from teaching writing at Sacramento State University, she serves as President of the Board of 916 Ink, an arts-based creative writing nonprofit for children, and serves on the Board of Advisors for the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies at Claremont McKenna College. Shelley is the author of the critically acclaimed Jane Benjamin Mystery series, including Copy Boy, Tomboy, and Poster Girl. Her writing has been a finalist in the Sarton Book Awards, IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards, Killer Nashville’s Silver Falchion Award, the American Fiction Awards, and the National Indie Excellence Awards.

November/December 2023 PRNC Meeting
2023-12-06 19:30 - 21:00 UTC | CA
The final combined November and December meeting will be on Wednesday, December 6th at 7:30 PM. The Zoom link is below.

Our guest will be Jeremy Maxwell, the terminal manager for Auto Warehousing, he will discuss the business and answer questions and concerns.

PETITIONS:

There has been much discussion about the bike lane on the Richmond-San Rafael bridge. The PRNC shares the ongoing concerns about the traffic backups that are making Castro Street and the surrounding neighborhoods unsafe and the increase in pollution. We also recognize that responsible bike lanes are an integral part of a community.

Since the bridge itself is out of our geographic neighborhood and the research on both sides is inconclusive, we are providing the links to the petitions both for and against continuing the bike lane in its current design.

Opposed to the bike lane in its current design:
