Speaker: Kathryn Orzech - author
Kathy was born and raised in Meriden, where she attended St. Stanislaus Catholic School and Francis T. Maloney High School. She attended Paier School of Art in Hamden and has also taken eclectic courses at Middlesex Community College.
Kathy has published Asylum, a dark suspense saga, spanning four generations of family drama, secrets and betrayals. On line since 1997, her website, Dreamwatch.com, a site dedicated to true paranormal experiences of ordinary people, inspired the plot for her contemporary psychic thriller, Premonition of Terror, when she wondered: "What if premonitions from around the world predicted the same catastrophe? If only you knew about it, who would YOU tell? If no one believed, how far would YOU go to stop it?"
This promises to be an interesting luncheon program and we are honored to host one Meriden's successful authors. Hope to see you there!

Now through February 11, 2023
The Kiwanis Club of Meriden and our family of school-based Service Leadership Programs are proud to announce the 7th annual Souper Bowl City-Wide Food Drive for the Meriden Soup Kitchen, now until February 11!
Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Meriden Soup Kitchen is open and providing meals to those in need. They need our support and the Meriden Kiwanis Family is stepping up to coordinate a city-wide food drive.
