Guggenheim Life and Annuity will be the sponsor of The Guilded Leaf Book and Author Luncheon. The luncheon is a one-day signature event of the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation, featuring nationally recognized and best-loved authors.
“We are pleased to have partnered with an organization that provides excellent educational and cultural resources to our community,” said Karen Maginn, vice president of marketing at Guggenheim Life and Annuity.
Last year’s luncheon was attended by nearly 500 guests, and since its inception in 2005 has generated nearly $500,000 to support children’s literacy programs at the Carmel Clay Public Library.
“We are very excited to welcome Guggenheim Life and Annuity as the presenting sponsor of The Guilded Leaf. They recognize the value of education, literacy, and cultural opportunities in our community, and want to support the library’s efforts,” said Ruth Nisenshal, Foundation director.
This year’s luncheon will be Oct. 24 at the Ritz Charles from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Six nationally known authors are scheduled to attend. Guests have the opportunity to speak to the authors, purchase their books, hear their stories, bid on silent auction items and have lunch. Tickets are $70 each, and $1,200 for corporate tables. Sponsorships or reservations can be made by calling the Foundation office at 814-3905.
