Kevin Mannix of WCSH 6 TV will be the guest speaker at the Whitman Memorial Library in Bryant Pond on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 2 p.m. Mr. Mannix will be talking about his book, “Weathering Shame” that he and his wife, Linda Rota, have written. Their goal is to help people benefit from their struggles, raise awareness, and to be inspired and encouraged by their personal stories to embark on their own journey of self-discovery, recovery or awareness. The program is open to the public at no charge and light refreshments will be served.
