John Cooper School
John Grogan will be the featured author at The John Cooper School’s fifth annual Signatures Author Series luncheon Wednesday at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel. Grogan, author of “Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog,” a No. 1 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 also will feature local writers, book signings and a silent auction of a chair signed by Grogan. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to a local organization. Last year’s sellout luncheon, featuring Anthony Bourdain, resulted in a donation of $5,000 to the Montgomery County Memorial Library System.
Each year, a portion of the proceeds from the event is given to a literary organization. This year’s beneficiary is Montgomery Pet Partners’ READ Program, which offers students a chance to read to therapy dogs to improve their reading skills.
Reservation and sponsorship information for the Signatures luncheon is available online by going to www.johncooper.org.
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. Call Cooper’s Development office at (281) 367-0900, ext. 441.
The John Cooper School Performing Arts Department will present “The Secret Garden” at 7 p.m. Nov. 12-14 and at 2 p.m. Nov. 14 and 15. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and senior citizens. To purchase tickets, visit www.seatyourself.biz/johncooper.
