Literacy is Key A Book and Author Event
B
ook lovers and literacy supporters gathered at the Holiday Inn University of Memphis for the eighth annual Literacy is Key event, presented by the Memphis Kappa Kappa Gamma Alumnae Association as a philanthropic endeavor. Andrea Harano chaired this year’s event, along with assistant chairman Janie Lowery. “Literacy is Key is a book and author event, with a luncheon and presentations by three nationally acclaimed authors,” explained Harano. Emcee Darrell Greene, of WBHQ Fox 13 News, brought authors Kristy Woodson Harvey, Christina Baker Kline and Kim Wright onstage to tell their personal stories and share background about their books. One hundred percent of the proceeds from Literacy is Key go to organizations like First Books and other local literary, non-profit organizations. Story and Photos by Emily Adams Keplinger
