Month with author event

Celebrate Book Lovers

Month on February 23 with CCEDC’s Women in Business Committee. This luncheon will be at Palmerton Public Library at 11a.m. and includes a catered lunch by Jokers are Wild Cafe, plus a wonderful program.

Local author Judith W. Umlas has penned a personal memoir. This featured speaker is familiar to the Women in Business Committee. She has composed the titles Grateful Leadership, and The Power of Acknowledgement. Judith now gets personal with a memoir told through letters. Soulmates & Strangers allows Judith the opportunity to meet her mother, Sylvia, as a young girl of 15 from the Bronx through letters to her French penpal Claudia of Lyon, France. This is a true account of a 70-year-old friendship that lasts through their youth, times of war, and adulthood. This book touches the heart of every daughter.

During this luncheon you will hear Judith read an excerpt from Soulmates &

Strangers, and discuss the world of publishing, and self-publishing. Soulmates and Strangers retails for $19.95, however a special event price of $15.95 can be added directly to your luncheon ticket and shipped directly to you.
