A Girls' Night Out With Bestselling Author Kelly Corrigan
Monday, October 19, 2009
Suzy is looking forward to a Girls' Night Out With Bestselling Author Kelly Corrigan.
After breast cancer, it is possible to see life through pink-colored glasses? Kelly Corrigan, the New York Times bestselling author of The Middle Place, seems to be living proof of this adage. She has battled and survived breast cancer while watching her father face a similar struggle with late-stage cancer.
Stamford Hospital's [Paint the Town Pink campaign is bringing Corrigan to Stamford for a special Girls' Night Out event. A natural storyteller, Corrigan will share her touching yet humorous personal tale. In her memoirs, she captures the beat of ordinary life and the everyday moments that bind families together.
The evening will include a video presentation followed by a talk by Corrigan, Q&A session and book signing. The event also includes cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, DJ, photo booth, and massage therapists.
When: Friday, Oct. 30 at 6 p.m.
Where: Bank Street Events
65 Bank Street in Stamford.
Cost: $65 per person
Reservations are required. Call 1-877-233-WELL (9355) to reserve your spot.
