Former Hi-Desert Star columnist Mary Sojourner will be reading her new novel “29” in a benefit for the Yucca Mesa Community Center.

If you would like to participate, bring your favorite cooked meal or pick up something that can feed 8-10 people as well as a $1 donation. The Yucca Mesa Community Center is located at 3133 Balsa Avenue in Yucca Mesa.
