Luncheon with David Goldman, Saturday,

Guest speaker, David Goldman is a father, author and activist, devoting his time to public speaking and advocacy work on behalf of victims of international child
abduction. David fought an inspiring five-year battle to be reunited with his son, Sean, who was abducted to Brazil in June 2004 and returned to the United States on Christmas Eve 2009 − a true Christmas miracle. The case received
international media attention and introduced many around the world to the growing, tragic issue of international parental child abduction. David authored the recently released A Father's Love: One Man's Unrelenting Battle to Bring His Abducted Son Home, which provides a first-hand account of his fight to reunite with his son and his ongoing advocacy work. David is also co-founder of the Bring Sean Home Foundation (www.BringSeanHome.org). Join us for
lunch at Taste Restaurant at the Galleria to hear him speak about his amazing journey to bring his son home.  Tickets

Membership is open to any woman, age 21 or over, with an interest and commitment to voluntarism.
