May 12 – Fiona Davis, Best-Selling Novelist
We are delighted to welcome best-selling novelist Fiona Davis, author of eight historical fiction novels set in iconic New York City buildings. She tells fascinating and often little-known histories behind these landmarks through the eyes of female characters seeking the truth about themselves and the world around them. Previous best-sellers included The Magnolia Palace, The Address [about the Dakota], and The Lions of Fifth Avenue.
In The Stolen Queen – Fiona’s newest novel, published in January – the story centers on the Metropolitan Museum of Art and its famed Met Gala, at the same time exploring Egypt’s Valley of the Kings.
In this very special presentation, Fiona will be interviewed by well-known broadcast journalist and political commentator Alisyn Camerota.
As always, all Y’s Women are welcome at this presentation without registering. But if you would like to bring a guest, the guest’s name must be registered, in advance, with Jilda Manikas at jildam00@yahoo.com.
Uniting Y’s Men and Y’s Women for Bridge
We have been invited to play duplicate bridge with the Y’s Men every Friday from 12:00 to 4:00 pm at the Westport Center for Senior Activities.
If you’re interested, please email Mario Sa Couto (msacouto@hotmail.com) with your name, contact information, and cell phone number, and you will be included as a regular player. On Monday or Tuesday of every week, Mario will email all regular players asking them to confirm if they will play the following Friday.
Of Special Interest to Y’s Women
Dr. Robert Altbaum and two female physicians specializing in breast cancer – Dr. Lisa Phuong, medical oncologist, and Dr. Jeanne Capasse, breast surgeon – will discuss the relevant and exciting progress in diagnostics and therapeutics of breast cancer. The presentation, to be held on June 3 at the Westport Public Library at 7:00 pm, will focus on surgical approaches and reconstructive surgery of patients with breast cancer. This promises to be an informative presentation not to be missed.
