Jan. 31: Scholarship Luncheon with Karen Kingsbury

The Legacy League, an auxiliary of Samford University, invites the public to hear USA Today and New York Times No. 1 bestselling author Karen Kingsbury as guest speaker at its annual Scholarship Luncheon on Thursday, Jan. 31.

The luncheon will be held at Vestavia Country Club at 11:30 a.m., and ballroom seating opens at 11 a.m.  The cost is $50, of which $25 is a tax-deductible contribution to the scholarship endowment.

Referred to by Time magazine as the “queen” of Christian fiction, Kingsbury regularly receives correspondence from thousands of readers describing how her fiction has dramatically changed their lives. She has written more than 50 novels, 10 of which have hit No. 1 on national lists.

She and her husband, Don, live in Nashville with their five sons, three of whom were adopted from Haiti. Their daughter, Kelsey, is an actress and is married to Christian recording artist Kyle Kupecky.

Reservations are required for the luncheon. For more information and to make reservations (available online through Jan. 24), visit samford.edu/legacyleague. For questions, please call 726-2247.
