Thank you and congratulations to the ten Fellows below who donated quickly ( and generously !) at the Fall Luncheon and were rewarded with an autographed copy of keynote speaker Isabel Wilkerson ’ s thought provoking book , Caste : The Origins of Our Discontent . For those of you who have not read the book yet , Connie Lahn shared her review “ A book everyone must read . How is it that I could be educated at amazing schools , colleges , and law school and yet be learning so much of this for the first time ?”
These ten Fellows , along with several other generous donors , raised over $ 28,000
