The First National Bank to Host Book Signing at Solebury Branch

The First National Bank and Trust Company of Newtown has announced that it will host a book signing on Friday, December 11, 2009 from 4 – 6pm at their Solebury Branch, located at the corner of Rts. 202 and 179. This event is in support of Up River Productions, Inc. Embraceable You – We’re All Part of the Story.

Embraceable You – We’re All Part of the Story is a collection of essays, poems and tales written by local artists, elected officials, restaurateurs, shopkeepers, students and clergy and provides a glimpse into the heart and soul of New Hope. Readers of this entertaining collection of stories will begin to understand and appreciate the richness and diversity of New Hope.

The book was edited by Geri Delevich and Marilyn Cichowski and compliments the documentary, Embraceable You, which debuted at the Bucks County Playhouse last week, and a compilation music CD, Embraceable You, We’re All Part of the Music. For more information, visit www.up-river-productions.com.
