Home Community Women of Isaiah WOI Kickoff

WOI Kickoff


Women of Isaiah would like to invite you to a stimulating evening of food, friendship and information. We are honored to have two extraordinary guests. Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D., Professor emeritus of Pediatric Endocrinology at UCSF, is a world-renowned speaker, and author of “Fat Chance & Sugar, The Bitter Truth.” We also will hear from Cindy Gershen, author of the “Fat Chance Cookbook,” mother, entrepreneur, owner of Sunrise Bistro, and educator at Mount Diablo High School. They are a dynamic duo that will change the way we look at food and medicine, one bite at a time.

NEW! Mark DeSaulnier will join us as a special guest speaker.

We will also be honoring a member of Women of Isaiah who has been an active, integral part of our community. The honoree will be announced that night. Come join us to celebrate and nurture friendships, old and new while enjoying delicious food provided by Cindy Gershen.

The Kickoff will be held in the Social Hall on August 31st from 6-9pm. Please spread the word, and bring a friend.

If you would like to sit at a designated mask table, please reach out to Rosemarie and Michaela Frydman as that is an option we are offering.
