Book Club for Six! Eyes in Front When Running by Willow Kean
Six copies of Eyes in Front When Running by Willow Kean is a quick-witted family drama that tells the story of Cleo Best, a former backpacker in her late thirties, and her decision to try for a baby with her partner, Jamie.
Over the next few months, while Cleo wants to let nature take its course, and Jamie wants to give nature a nudge in the right direction, the relationship collapses under the strain of unsuccessful attempts at conceiving. When Cleo moves back in with her parents, a series of bad decisions turns her life upside-down, but somehow sets it right at the same time.
Cleo’s greatest fear is getting pregnant. Her resistance to being a mother, her obsession with food, and everything from her unapologetic regret to her sardonic take on the world around her make her an uncommon female protagonist. Cleo gets the fella in the end, but not the one you’re expecting.

8th Annual Pink Tie Gala
The 8th Annual Pink Tie Gala is our signature fundraising event, and this year’s celebration is particularly meaningful as we mark the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote in Newfoundland. This milestone serves as a reminder of the strong, determined women who came before us and the importance of continuing the fight for gender equality.
