2024 Literary Luncheon
Les Gemmes Nashville celebrated their 17th Annual Literary Luncheon this year on May 18, 2024 at the Music City Center in Nashville, TN. Visit our Literary Luncheon page for more information and highlights from our annual signature event that spotlights our scholarship program. Les Gemmes Nashville 2024 Literary Luncheon.
The 17th Annual Literary Luncheon was a true showcase to benefit the Lighting the Path for Girls Initiative, affectionately referred to as 'Jewels.'
The approximately 500 attendees were enthralled with the Jewels and the work they are doing, as well as being molded to become outstanding citizens with careers in a variety of fields. In addition to the ten Jewels, who range from middle school to college, the Legacy Jewels were introduced, who are currently in college or graduated and working in their field of study.
