2023 Literary Event: A Tremendous Success!
Oh what a night! Our sold out Literary Event featuring acclaimed author Mary Laura Philpott was a great success, raising $27,000 for our after-school and summer programs! More than 160 attendees listened to Mary Laura’s remarks on her award-winning memoir ‘Bomb Shelter,’ which was released in paperback format in early April. We are so grateful to Mary Laura for traveling to Glen Ellyn to share her insightful wit and wisdom with us!
We would like to thank The Bookstore of Glen Ellyn for their partnership in making this event possible. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading ‘Bomb Shelter’ yet, you can purchase a copy from The Bookstore. Special thanks to the Glen Ellyn Public Library for their support, as well.
Thank you so much to all of our generous sponsors, including Event Level sponsors Marcel’s Culinary Experience and Kiwanis of Glen Ellyn.
