Next month Lesley Stahl will release her new book, “Becoming Grandma: The Joys and Science of the New Grandparenting.” According to reports, “Stahl says that becoming a grandmother has been the most vivid and transformative experience of her life.”
Whoa! This statement is not surprising for any grandparent, but it is, after all, coming from someone who has covered everything from Watergate, every president from Jimmy Carter to George H.W. Bush to such world leaders as Margaret Thatcher and Boris Yeltsin. She has traveled the world over as a correspondent for “60 Minutes” and won awards galore (Emmys, the Fred Friendly First Amendment Award, the Edward R. Murrow Award for Overall Excellence in Television and the Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Journalism Award).
That’s why the timing of her being the keynote speaker at The Legacy Senior Communities “Behind the Scenes With Lesley Stahl Yes! Event” on Thursday, May 5, is this side of perfect. After all, Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 8.
Benefiting the Legacy Senior Communities, funds will support The Legacy Senior Communities Resident Financial Assistance Fund, “which provides charitable support for residents who rely on The Legacy Senior Communities for the cost of their daily care and for the extra services that enrich their lives.”
Taking place at the Omni Dallas Hotel, the event has a committee that’s made up of The Legacy Senior Communities past chair Carol Aaron and Co-Chairs Joey Daniel, Marilyn Fiedelman, Erica Robins, Ruthy Rosenberg, Barbara Stein and Jackie Waldman.
