- On March 17, 2006, I was the honored guest and speaker at the Bryn Mawr Trust Company's Women's History Month Event at the Merion Cricket Club in Haverford, Pa.

I spoke about the history of women on the Main Line using my own life story, the stories of women I grew up with, and the stories of the Main Line women that I include in my novel, Chasing the 400.

My first book store event
- The wonderful folks at Barnes and Noble in Bryn Mawr, PA, took a chance and hosted me at a Meet the Author event in February 2006. Their support was so important and critical because not every book store will do this for a first-time, self-published author. We had a very successful event in terms of attendance and sales. Special thanks to Kathy Siscliano, Community Relations Manager, and Brenda Collins, Sales Associate for making this possible. Here's hoping that reports of this event will encourage other self-published authors and bookstores to take chances!
