Lee Woodruff will be the featured speaker at this year’s annual meeting of the Lake George Association, on Friday, August 19, at 10 am, at the Lake George Club.
Lee is a New York Times bestselling author and the wife of former ABC news co-anchor Bob Woodruff, who was seriously injured covering the Iraq war in 2006. They have four children. Five generations of Lee’s family have summered on Lake George; their 130-year-old wooden farmhouse was purchased by Lee’s grandparents in the 1960s.
“We’re so pleased that Lee will be our speaker this year,” said Walt Lender, LGA executive director. “She is dynamic, heartfelt, and inspiring. We know that Lake George holds such a special place in the hearts of Lee and her family, and we appreciate that she is willing to come and share her love for the lake and her wonderful stories,” he added.
In addition to Lee’s speech, brief presentations will be given by LGA staff on the status of the Lake George watershed and the protection programs in place for its conservation. The LGA Floating Classroom will be docked at the Lake George Club and will be available for walk-on tours.
Signed copies of Lee’s second book, Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress, will be available for sale to benefit the LGA. The book was a Washington Post Critic’s Pick in 2009. The book is a collection of 17 essays.
The general public is welcome to attend. After the meeting there will be a luncheon buffet. The $25 per person cost for lunch does not include a donation to the LGA. Space is limited.
