Chicken
Soup for the Soul hosted an evening full of heartfelt testimony and charity to
celebrate the launch of its newest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Time to
Thrive at Vasari at Tivoli Village. Co-author and Las Vegas local Loren Slocum
Lahav hosted the fabulous soiree, as well as five other Las Vegans who
contributed stories to the book, including Sam Georges, Jaki Baskow, Andrea
Hadhazy, Linda Johnson and Marcia Castro-Rosenburg.
During
the party, Slocum Lahav graciously thanked guests for supporting the book’s
release. She also discussed how her life changed for the better when she
decided to embrace life by not saying “yes” to every opportunity she was
presented – a key theme in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Time to Thrive.
Slocum
Lahav then invited contributors Castro-Rosenburg and Baskow to share the
stories they wrote for the book. Both writers gave emotional speeches, and
Baskow, Founder of Baskow & Associates, tearfully thanked Chicken Soup for
the Soul for giving her the closure she craved after her father passed away
years ago.
Throughout
the evening, Slocum Lahav and the contributors autographed copies of the book
and took photos with fans. Part of the proceeds from book sales at the event
were given to local non-profits Create a Change Now and Elevate Las Vegas’
S.P.I.N. program, “Supporting People in Need.” Guests nibbled on Caprese
skewers and chocolate-covered strawberries while mingling and participating in
a charity raffle, featuring coveted prizes from sponsors Vasari, Scarpetta and
Juice Plus.
Chicken
Soup for the Soul: Time to Thrive, co-written by Slocum Lahav and Chicken Soup
for the Soul publisher, editor-in-chief and author, Amy Newmark, features 101
empowering stories that motivate readers to create balance and give more
meaning to their lives. The book is now available for purchase in book stores
everywhere.
