SING-SING FELON SIGNS BOOK AT NY PUBLIC LIBRARY EVENT

Riverdale resident, Alan Gompers, affectionately known in the music industry as "Pop Doo Wop," celebrated his message of peace and freedom at The New York Public Library-96th Street Branch.

New York, NY-Nearly 24 years after being paroled for drug trafficking, former Wall Street-tycoon- turned-author, Alan Gompers' is sharing his life story through his memoir, "Maximum Security: The True Meaning of Freedom."

On Saturday, November 14, 2009, Gompers signed books and introduced his cd "Maximum Freedom: A Guide to Meditation" at the New York City Public Library-96th Street Branch. During an inspiring presentation around his amazing memoir, he highlighted some of his experiences that included his rise to fame and fortune, his first bust by the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission, his rise again through a real estate marketing venture in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania and ultimately his demise through drug trafficking that earned him a 15-to-life-sentence which began at the infamous and storied maximum security prison-"Sing Sing."

Paroled in 1986, Gompers has been touring the United States and Canada, sharing his amazing life and the incredible experiences he encountered on his fascinating journey. "Ultimately," Alan tells us, "it was the transforming power of meditation that enabled me to find the true happiness and freedom I had been searching for my whole life.

Workshop, November 21, 2009

Dear Friends,

The book signing at the New York Public Library last Saturday was a huge success. I can't tell you how much I enjoy meeting new people and sharing my story. One man bought 10 copies of my book...I later found out that he was passing them out to people at homeless shelters around the city.

This Saturday I'll be leading a workshop from 1-4pm, again at the New York Public Library--96th Street Branch. (Please click here for more information) The cost is only $49/per person. I hope you'll come and bring all of your friends.

A huge thank you to Todd Gwinn, Sr. Librarian at the 96th Street Branch and to Janet Gula for inviting me to give a workshop last Sunday at On the Mat in Mountaindale Yoga.

Stay in touch! I love hearing from you. My e-mail is alan@alangompers.com. If you have any questions, please call Lorena at 901-233-0339.

Blessings to all of you. May today find you in happy spirits with a warm heart filled with love and peace.

Love and blessings,

Map & The Flashlight

To all my dear friends,

The response to my last e-mail has been overwhelming. I was so excited to hear from so many people who have read my book and who shared their experience of meditation in their own lives. One person described meditation like this:

"Before, I felt like I was in a cave of darkness and despair. For me, your book and learning to meditate (from your cd) have become my "flashlight and map." It's been my way out of the dark and scary cave of fear and self-sabotage."

I just wanted to remind you that I'll be at The New York Public Library, 112 East 96th Street, in Manhattan, this Saturday, November 14th from 2-3:30PM. (Click here for flyer). See below for a list of two meditation workshops I'll be leading this month!

Thank you again for your support of my passion in sharing hope and light with the world.

If you live in the New York City area, I hope to see you on the 14th. Please bring all your friends for a great afternoon of fun at the library.

My love and blessings,

Alan Gompers
