Writer Borgman to speak at GCC
Newspaper columnist, author and speaker Lori Borgman will speak at Greencastle Christian Church at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15.
Borgman’s newspaper column touches on a wide array of topics ranging from the “truth about nagging” to “marriage-related hearing loss.” She also is the author of the popular essay, “The Death of Common Sense,” which has gone viral, having been published in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Ireland, Finland, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, the Philippines and Greece.
Her column is distributed to more than 400 papers and media outlets throughout the United States and Canada.
She is the author of seven books, including the humor books, “I Was a Better Mother Before I Had Kids,” “All Stressed Up and No Place to Go,” “My Memory is Shot: All I Retain Now is Water” and her humorous holiday novel “Catching Christmas.” She has also written a gentle book on passing the faith to the next generation titled, “Pass the Faith, Please.”
Borgman may be best known for her small but cheeky book, “The Death of Common Sense and Those Who Knew Him” based on her obituary for Common Sense. Her latest book, “What Happens at Grandma’s Stays at Grandma’s” was released March 2021.
Borgman is a frequent speaker at author lecture series, libraries, church groups and civic groups. She counts two of her greatest privileges to include addressing a Spouses of Congress event at the U.S. Capitol and delivering the commencement address to college graduates at the Indiana Women’s Prison.
Lori and her husband, also a journalist, live in Indianapolis. They have three children (one son and two daughters), a “delightful daughter-in-law” and “two classy sons-in-law.” It is only by virtue of strong self-discipline that she has not dictated that her website “be plastered with pictures of their 11 adorable grandchildren.”
The luncheon program is free and open to the public, though donations are accepted. Register by calling Greencastle Christian Church at 653-5816 by Friday, March 10.
