LUNCHEON

EVENT IMPACT

The Book & Author Luncheon, to be held on April 30th at the Country Club of Virginia, offers

guests the opportunity to dine with an author at their table and to have their books

autographed. Seating is limited to approximately 75 guests.

The Book & Author Event offers sponsors a variety of opportunities to interact with best-

selling authors, League members, and the Richmond community. Last year’s event raised

over $56,000 to assist the League in its mission to promote volunteerism, develop the

potential of women, and improve communities through effective action and leadership of

trained volunteers. Community programming is delivered with a focus on the East End of

Richmond and supports health & wellness, character development and family engagement.
