Friday, June 16, 2017 Lake Oconee News Page B7 Madison-Morgan County Boys and Girls Club students show off their singing skills. Featured author Mary Kay Andrews takes the stage to discuss her life and work. Beachy book benefit held for Boys and Girls Club Story and Photos by Katherine Klimt katherine@lakeoconeenews.us Variety Works in down town Madison hosted a fundraising event to ben efit the Madison-Morgan County Boys and Girls Club on Thursday, June 8, featuring Atlanta-based author Mary Kay Andrews. In addition to a book signing and refreshments culled from the pages of Andrews’ latest work, “The Beach House Cookbook,” the event also featured a performance from MMC- BGC students and a talk by the CEO of the Pete Nance Boys and Girls Club in Greensboro, Bob Mackey. Andrews is a best-selling author who has been writ ing since the early 1990s, when she published under her given name of Kathy Hogan Trocheck. Under her pen name, she has explored more southern themes and, according to her own speech at the event, aims to write a “beach book every year.” Her decision to write a cookbook this year, she said, was based on her memories of Sunday din ners with her family. The event’s impressive spread, featuring everything from tomato pie to butterscotch bars, was entirely cooked according to Andrews’ own recipes. To give attendees a glimpse of what their donations were benefiting, MMCBGC students per formed “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and displayed their art, while two aspiring young drummers showed off their skills. Afterwards, Mackey took the stage to talk about the importance of organizations like the boys and girls clubs, citing his own experience as a for mer juvenile parole officer.
