We want to find out what other people want to talk about.”Raffle items include Lynn Memorial Auditorium event tickets, art work and gift certificates.Cacici noted that a discussion roundtable of former Lynn mayors will be held at the nearby Lynn Museum at the corner of Union and Washington streets from 6-7:30 p.m.”We’re hoping that everyone from that event comes to Tatiana’s when it’s over,” she said.
