Author David Benjamin has a lifetime of stories to tell!

Regarded as a masterwork of storytelling, David Benjamin knew he was a writer when he was in grade school. He started his first novel in elementary school at St. Mary’s School in Tomah. He adapted (and embellished he says) some of that experience in his memoir, The Life and Times of the Last Kid Picked.

Join us for a wonderful evening full of laughter and storytelling.
