The Junior League of Richmond (JLR) and Dominion Virginia Power will welcome six national authors to Richmond on Wednesday, May 1, 2013, for the 68th Book & Author Dinner.  A spring literary feast taking place at the Greater Richmond Convention Center, the Book & Author Dinner is the longest running event of its kind in the country. All proceeds benefit the JLR whose mission is to promote volunteerism, develop the potential of women, and improve communities through effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.
