*(During) the tenth anniversary of the Foundation's New York City based Settlement House-Author Residency program…readers of all ages at Stanley Isaacs Neighborhood Center in New York City were visited by National Book Award winning author Joyce Carol Thomas from May 22-25.
*Fathers, mothers, and their children welcomed Joyce to the Stanley Isaacs Neighborhood Center with a dinner held in her honor, which was followed by a reading, a discussion, and art activity based on Joyce's book, Gingerbread Days.
*Joyce Carol Thomas came to Stanley Isaacs as a stranger, but left as a friend.*
