Former Miss USA and Connecticut native Erin Brady will address the Rotary Club of West Hartford on Monday, Oct. 27 at their 12:15 p.m. luncheon meeting at The Pond House Café.

Rotarians from other communities and the general public are welcome to attend at a cost of $23 per person. Proceeds will benefit the Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center, Miss Brady’s charity of choice. The cost for members of the Rotary Club of West Hartford, whose meal costs are included with dues, will be just $10 per Rotarian.

As Miss USA, Erin Brady worked to educate others about the importance of empowering others through leadership. She grew up in East Hampton and graduated from Central Connecticut State University with a degree in Finance and a minor in Criminal Justice.

“We are thrilled to welcome Miss Brady to meet with our Rotarians and so many others in the community who so proudly watched her reign as Miss USA,” said Cynthia Lang, president of The Rotary Club of West Hartford and proprietor at Cynthia Lang Photography. “I think her remarks are going to be informative and inspiring, especially for our Rotarians who share her passion for and commitment to service,” Lang added.
