Saturday, May 11, 2 PM. Author Gigi Georges. The Patsy Bray Mahoney Lecture Series Presents Gigi Georges, Ph.D. Ms. Georges turned to narrative non-fiction writing after an extensive career in politics, public service, and academia. A former White House Special Assistant to the President and U.S. Senate State Director, she taught political science at Boston College, served as a Program Director for the Harvard Kennedy School, and Managing Director of The Glover Park Group—a leading national public affairs firm. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she lives with her husband and eleven-year-old daughter in New Hampshire and Downeast Maine. “Downeast” honors the lives of five remarkable young women and, through them, the paths of young women across rural America. It shines a light, too often obscured, on the indispensable role contemporary rural women play in their communities. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing after the event. The Graves Library Snack Team will provide light refreshments. Parking is available along Maine Street, the North Street Fire Station Parking Lot, and Consolidated School (Route 9). Please enter through the white door in the Parking Lot. The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library is at 18 Maine Street, Kennebunkport.
