CFUW-Hamilton, the power of women working together since 1925

Bryan Prince Bookseller is hosting a retirement reception for Nancy McKibbin Gray, Feb 25, 2015 .

Over the years Nancy has worked behind the scenes to help CFUW-Hamilton insure that our annual scholarship fund raising Author Night was a success. She has held the hands of the scholarship fund committee members as we navigated the world of authors,publishers and publicists.

Please take the time to read today’s Hamilton Spectator story Nancy McKibbin Gray, Opening a New Chapter  and maybe stop by on Feb 25th  to thank her and wish her well on this ‘new chapter”.By the way it looks like her current favorite book just might be the new release by Helen Humpfreys.
