On Saturday March 23, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the Thursday Morning Club of Madison will present their 2nd “Author’s Tea” at the Madison Community House, 25 Cook Ave in Madison, NJ. Please join us for light refreshments and a presentation by our guest author Julie Maloney, a widely respected poet and writer, whose debut novel, “A Matter of Chance” has been well received by numerous critics and reviewers. “A Matter of Chance” takes the reader on the riveting, emotional journey of a mother’s relationship with her missing child.
In addition to her years of writing, Julie, a former dancer and choreographer, has served as artistic director for the dance school she founded in New York City. She is the creator and facilitator of the “Writing to Heal” workshop of the Carol G.Simon Cancer Center of Morristown Memorial Hospital. For the past 10 years she has hosted the “Tea and Conversation” author series at the Bernardsville library.
Of Julie’s many interests, perhaps her greatest passion is her work promoting women authors. To this end she has founded “Women Reading Aloud” a non-profit international organization devoted to the promotion of women authors. As director of this organization she leads workshops and retreats throughout the year on a national and international level. To each of her events, Julie brings her passion for nurturing creativity in everyday life.
Tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased at The Thursday Morning Club website thursdaymorningclub.org (click events) or you can contact Vincyne LaCapra vincyne@yahoo.com, or 862-579-7534 with any questions.

Organized in 1896, the Club is a member of both the New Jersey State and General Federation of Women’s Clubs.
