Nationally acclaimed author Jill McCorkle will share insights about her latest book, Life After Life, and what inspires her writing at Chatham Literacy’s 5th annual Spring for Literacy luncheon.
The event — on Thursday, April 23, 2015, at Galloway Ridge in Pittsboro — is a sellout!
Thanks to everyone who registered for this annual event, which is our biggest fundraiser of the year.
All proceeds from the luncheon directly fund Chatham County Literacy Council’s free literacy programming and services for adults who live and work in Chatham County.
If you cannot attend Spring for Literacy but would like to show your support, please consider being a luncheon sponsor. For more information or to participate, please go to our Be a Sponsor and Sponsorship Form pages.
