Les Gemmes Nashville 2021 Literary Luncheon
Our annual Literary Luncheon is a major fundraiser that raises money to support the “Lighting the Path for Girls” program that supports our “Jewels,” as we call them. The annual Literary Luncheon brings to Nashville some of the best and brightest authors from throughout the nation. The Les Gemmes annual Literary Luncheon is one of the most highly regarded social events in Nashville.
Our 14th Annual Literary Luncheon in 2021 was a historical event. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we had our first ever virtual event utilizing technology. Our Hollywood theme was extravagant, breathtaking and phenomenal from our celebrity Mistress of Ceremony (Angela Marie Hutchinson) to the decor, guest speakers and the wonderful presentation by the 2021 Jewell as part of our Lighting the Path for girls program. It was Lights, Camera, Action as Les Gemmes Nashville had an event to be remembered for years to come.
