Author, David Sheff, featured speaker at this year's Matters of the Mind luncheon.
December 1st, 2008
On Tuesday, October 14, 2008 Gateway welcomed David Sheff, author of "Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction" to this year's 6th annual "Matters of the Mind" luncheon.
Over 350 guests enjoyed a delicious lunch catered by DeLessio Market followed by the opportunity to hear David Sheff interviewed by GPA President Amy Joseph and Gateway senior Kate Elliott.
Following Mr. Sheff's interview, guests were invited to a book signing in the Jack A. Sullivan Library. Many purchased both David's book "Beautiful Boy" as well as his son Nic's poignant account of his addiction "Tweak". Thank you to Books Inc. for providing these books for sale.
A huge Gateway thank you to an amazing luncheon committee headed by Leslie Burlock, Ashley Wessinger and Lisille Matheson.
We are deeply appreciative to the generosity of our friends. Gateway raised over $130,000 to benefit the educational program at Gateway.
