KNow me: The Birth of a Book

Presented by Nancy Curci, author of Know Me
DATE: May 5, 2022
TIME:  7PM​
LOCATION: Masonic Hall, 175 Main Street, Sandwich, MA  
PRICE: $10 
​Tickets available online, at the SAA Center and at the door the day of the event

To find out if we have any free tickets for those in need, call (774) 338-5201 or write to info@sandwichartsalliance.org.

On Thursday, May 5, at 7 p.m., Nancy Curci will talk about the veterans she interviewed for her book Know Me. Why did they join? What happened? How do they feel about their service? Would they do it again? Through Nancy you will meet an impressive group of ordinary people who stepped up.
Picture
Who is Nancy Curci? Nancy is a gifted storyteller who can hold any audience. She starts, and she’s off like a racehorse, keeping you with her to the finish line. Nancy is a twin with many siblings. Her father pulled her out of Catholic school at 16 and sent her to work in a shoe factory, but one night, after an argument with her father, he relented and allowed her to go back to finish high school. Wait ‘til you hear what else she did that night! Later, she worked as a waitress, had three children, became a school bus driver, and then went to college, eventually getting her masters. She holds Occupational Therapy, Social Worker, and Rehab Counselor licenses. She was a consultant in Human Services, on the Board of Bar Overseers (lawyers), Director of Rehab at Worcester State Hospital, and professor of psychology at Cape Cod Community College.

You will travel in Nancy’s footsteps as she created Know Me. You will be amused, touched, fascinated, and finally, admiring.

Roger Landry Col USAFMC (ret) writes in the Foreword of Know Me: 
For me, my service was a privilege, an opportunity to discover what I value and what I was willing to do for those values. I believe most veterans feel an internal pride for what they did but keep that pride private. And they know to the very fiber of their being that their service formed the core of who they are today. So, when we hear “thank you for your service,” we appreciate those words. But in truth, for me, it comes up short, never crossing the huge gap between those fine sentiments and the intensity of what we actually experienced.
​
Nancy Curci has bridged that gap. Her formula for gaining access to our secret world was simple. She asked and listened.

Read the stories in this book. Try to feel what these veterans felt. Celebrate these heroes among us because if we don’t, we will miss the essence of what it means to be a patriot.
