Nantucket Fundraiser for Lung Cancer




Meryl Bralower, a fabulous and dynamic woman that I know from Boston-area lung cancer advocacy work has put together a terrific fundraiser for Lung Cancer. It's a staged reading of the book "The Hot Flash Club", written by Nancy Thayer.

They had a staged reading of this book on the island back in June and it was apparently a sell-out!

If you like Nantucket and want to support a good cause, come join us! Plus, it's midweek so there are reasonable B&B rates. I found some pretty good deals at The Century House and The Sherbourne Inn, for a start.

Here are the event details:


Host: Meryl Bralower

Location:

The Chicken Box
16 Dave St
Nantucket, MA 02554 US

When:
Wednesday, August 26, 6:00PM to 8:00PM
