Tickets are $65 per person, which includes lunch and a signed copy of I Always Cry at Weddings.
USA Today says about “I Always Cry at Weddings,” “The cast is vibrant, and the author describes every character as so unique that you cannot only see them, but hear the inflections in their voices. I can’t say I’ve ever read a romance that has taken this particular path, and … I found it refreshing!”
Sara will share stories of self-discovery and finding fulfillment from her own life, stories that have influenced her writing and have changed the way she measures happiness.
Tickets are now available on the Opus for Person-to-Person website.
Tables of 10 are also available for purchase.
Proceeds from the benefit will go to The Opus Balloons for Campers Day. This annual event raises money for Person-to-Person’s Campership program, which helps send nearly 500 Stamford public elementary school students from low-income families to summer camp each year.
