Community Presbyterian Church of Ben Avon is inviting the community to meet Pittsburgh Post Gazette writers Brian O’Neill and Doug Oster at “Meet the Author’s Night" on Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 6:45 p.m.

O'Neill has been a newspaper columnist in Pittsburgh for more than 20 years. He won the Associated Press Managing Editors of Pennsylvania and also the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers’ Keystone Award for column writing. He also has received regional honors. He will present his new book, “The Paris of Appalachia,” about Pittsburgh in the 21st Century.

Oster is the Post Gazette’s "Backyard Gardener" and co-host of the radio show "The Organic Gardeners." He works as producer, writer and on-air talent for WQED-TV’s "On Q" program and fills the same role for NPR affiliate WYEP radio. He has just released his third book “Tomatoes, Garlic and Basil” and has co-authored two others, “Grow Organic” and a “Gardener’s Journal.”

The authors will present their books, and a question and answer period will follow. Signed copies of their books will be available for purchase.

A pot-luck dinner will be served at 6 p.m. Reservations may be made to the church office by calling (412)761-1233. A free will offering will be accepted.
