[Michlib-l] Big Read Dearborn CALL FOR ENTRIES deadline extended

[Henry Fischer]

Hi everyone,



As part of our Big Read Dearborn celebration of Jhumpa Lahiri’s *The
Namesake*, we’re sending out a call for family recipes, poetry, or stories.
We haven't received many entries, so we're extending the deadline to *December
31, 2017*. This program is open to all ages and everyone is welcome to
participate. Click* here <https://bigreaddearborn.org/call-for-entries/> *or
visit *bigreaddearborn.org/call-for-entries
<http://bigreaddearborn.org/call-for-entries> *for details on how to submit
an entry. The updated flyer is attached.



Here’s specifically what we’re looking for:



*Family recipes*:

   - Recipes passed down from generation to generation;
   - Something Grandma (or any relative) used to make;
   - Or any original family recipe (including one you made up or put your
   own individual spin on).

to
submit your recipe.



*Family stories*:

   - Immigrant stories or stories about the immigrant experience, whether
   of current or previous generations.
   - Name stories: do you have a funny or interesting story about how you
   got your name? Or a story regarding your name or a relative’s name?
   - Family history: do you have a story you’d like to share about Grandpa
   or some other relative? It’s all part of the history.
   - Family tree: have you done any research on your family tree? Got any
   interesting tidbits to share?
   - Fiction or poetry relating to themes of immigration, naming, and/or
   family history.
   - Or a family letter with some context included.
