Wine and Wit
Lexington Hotel 50 Brady Street, Sudbury, Ontario, CanadaWine and Wit is Sudbury's first book-themed gala. Our goal is to bring together readers in our community for an evening of food and fun. The evening will include hors d'oeuvres, silent auction, live music, and four guest authors. The funds raised from the event will go towards the Friends of the Greater Sudbury Public Library, to support new programs and update local branches, and the Cambrian Foundation, to fund bursaries for future public relations students. So come on out for a good cause, good reads, and a great experience. Tickets $20 Guest authors: Lara Bradley: Lara, a former journalist, is involved in many types of writing.
