John Grogan will be the featured author at The John Cooper School's fifth annual Signatures Author Series luncheon Nov. 11 at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel. Grogan, author of “Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog,” a number one national bestseller that was made into a major motion picture, is a former Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper columnist and the author of two best-selling books.
The luncheon will also feature local writers, book signings and a silent auction of a chair signed by Grogan. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a local organization. Last year's sellout luncheon, featuring chef Anthony Bourdain, resulted in a donation of $5,000 to the Montgomery County Memorial Library System.
The continued success of this event is made possible by sponsorships at varying levels, ranging from $75 for individual seats to table sponsorships at varying levels. For information contact Cooper's Development office at 281-367-0900 x441.
