Local Author Exhibit at Autumn’s Living Library Raising Scholarships for Girls on the Run of Northern Illinois
Award Winning Author Patricia M McClure comes to Autumn's Living Library at McHenry County College in Crstal Lake, Illinois

Crystal Lake, Ill, Sept 29, 2017 – Avallon’s Voice Inc. invites the community to Autumn’s Living Library, (ALL) October 5th where readers and writers come together to raise scholarship money for the Northern Illinois Chapter of Girls on the Run. The event will be held at McHenry County College, Building A (Atrium), 8900 NW Hwy, Crystal Lake, IL from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Authors will be available to answer questions, sign books, and will have their latest works on display.
Join Local Award Winning Author Patricia M McClure as she brings "Losing a Hero to Alzheimer's the Story of Pearl." McClure shares her journey as a caregiver and educates readers about the signs, symptoms, and stages of the disease. Additionally, McClure gives practical guidelines on how to handle the disease while discussing how it impacts the individual, family, and caregiver.
One guest from an earlier, March 2nd event stated, "the vibe in the room was so welcoming, I didn't want to leave!" That gathering raised $380.00 for girls who otherwise wouldn’t have the finances to participate with GOTR. “It was a fun way to share my newest release and to encourage the important work of building up young women in our community,” said Elizabeth Harmon, an exhibiting author and partner in both events.
