On Saturday November 9, 2013, members and friends of FAWN joined in  remembering Kati Moran by embracing an exciting part of New York City that offers a lot of  culture and memories from the past – Harlem.
The tour was based on “Memories of Finnish Harlem Tour” based on the book by Mauno Laurila and started on the northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 125th Street. Elizabeth Kendall, journalist and author, was our guide. The tour ended with refreshments and hors d’oeuvres hosted by FAWN and sponsored by the Kati Moran Memorial Fund at the Red Rooster Restaurant on Lenox Avenue and 125th Street.
