Breakfast for Breast Cancer!

Is there a more fun place to raise awareness for anything than a bookstore? One of the things I’m doing to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month this year is a Breakfast for Breast Cancer in Chicago-area The Bookstore. Three intrepid gals, Elizabeth Lewis, Hanna Olejarska, and Michelle Picchione, walking as The Wednesday Sisters team, raised $6,500 – well over their goal – in the walk last June. And they’re doing it again! Details below. Do join us! – Meg

Dear Friends:

We are really proud to invite you to a special author event onThursday, October 22nd from 10 to 11:30am to benefit the fight against breast cancer. As you may know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
We will be hosting a Breakfast for Breast Cancer feauring an appearance by author Meg Waite Clayton, author of The Wednesday Sisters.
It’s a cool story. One of our loyal customers, Elizabeth Lewis, has an Avon 2-Day Walk Team called The Wednesday Sisters (named after one of Elizabeth’s favorite books). When Meg Waite Clayton heard about it, she posted a photo of the team on her own website, along with a link to their Avon Team fundraising website.
