“America’s Memory Master,” on Sunday,
Sept. 22. This program will be held at the
Glen Rock Public Library, 315 Rock Road,

a more powerful memory as they learn the
tools needed to develop the ability to recall
names, dates, and other important infor-
mation. Goerke has worked with major
corporations and trained many executives,
teachers, students, and seniors.
This program is made possible by the
Friends of the Glen Rock Library. No reg-
