Celebrate Women’s Day at The Lit with an elegant, uplifting brunch experience designed to honor the extraordinary ordinary women who shape our lives. Set inside the historic Ladies’ Literary Club, this gathering blends beauty, abundance, and meaningful connection in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

From 11:00 AM–12:00 PM, guests are invited to a relaxed Welcome Hour with open seating, complimentary signature mocktails, smooth piano jazz by Kelley Keyes, and an elegant, abundant brunch buffet. Boutique vendors and women‑owned small businesses will be open for browsing, offering a curated start to the afternoon.

At 12:00 PM, we transition into the heart of the event: a keynote presentation from Mandy Crosby—author, women’s advocate, and storyteller. Drawing from her newest book, Extraordinary Ordinary Women, Mandy shares a powerful message about resilience, legacy, and the women whose quiet strength shapes our lives in profound ways.

From 1:00–2:00 PM, the event flows into an Extended Social Hour designed for connection, celebration, and discovery. Enjoy networking hubs, women‑owned vendor experiences, and The Lit Boutique’s handcrafted selections by Patti Fitzgerald. Guided mini‑tours will highlight the history and mission of the Ladies’ Literary Club. Mandy Crosby will also host a book signing during this hour.

This Women’s Day Brunch is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of community, legacy, and the everyday courage of women. Come with friends, family, colleagues, or on your own; leave feeling inspired, connected, and deeply seen.
