Today I had the pleasure of attending an author's luncheon hosted by the Friends of the Library group with the Dothan Houston Country Library System. The event was held at The Cellar, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch of chicken salad and fresh fruit. Approximately 35+ people attended.
The Friends President, Everlie Bolton, welcomed everyone, spoke of their group, and introduced the new library director, Jason LeDuc. As Jason was speaking, our lunch was served.
Everlie introduced Author Lisa Wingate who is an inspirational writer and has written over 25 books. She is a Christy Award nominee, a ACFW Carol Award nominee, and a 2015 RT Booklovers Magazine Reviewer's Choice Award Winner. She was recently selected by the Americans for More Civility group as a recipient who works to promote greater kindness and civility in American life.
Lisa spoke on her latest book, The Sea Keeper's Daughters. She also spoke about preserving your own family history thru oral/written stories. We also heard some history of the Freedom Writers. What a great "Lunch & Learn"! I look forward to many more events.
