Food for Thought, a National Book Series
Sparkle, glitter and energy are all words more than 250 guests mentioned used to describe the third annual Food for Thought luncheon, benefitting Fund for Teachers. The buzz was about Honoree Joanne King Herring's newest book Diamonds & Diplomacy—not yet available to the public but on hand for Ms. Herring to sign for lucky luncheon guests.
After a beautiful introduction given by luncheon chair Kelli Cohen Fein and applauded by honorary chair Danielle Ellis, Joanne charmed the audience and thanked everyone for their support of Fund for Teachers. Keynote speaker, educator advocate Sam Chaltain, made a special trip to Houston to address the crowd, eloquently championing teachers and the lasting impact a good teacher makes on students. He encouraged support for "one of the nation's best organizations in education today, Fund for Teachers, and its work enabling educators to experience first-hand opportunities to enhance the classroom environment."
