Turner & Mulgrew Attend Citymeals-on-Wheels Luncheon

Kathleen Turner (ex-Nola, THE DOCTORS) is an advocate and boardmember for Citymeals-on-Wheels. Citymeals-on-Wheels hand-delivers meals to homebound elderly New Yorkers on weekends, weekdays, holidays, and times of emergency - times when many vulnerable seniors would otherwise go without food.

On Friday, Turner and fellow soap alum Kate Mulgrew (the unforgettable Mary Ryan on RYAN'S HOPE) attended the 22nd Annual Citymeals-on-Wheels Power Lunch for Women at the Rainbow Room in New York City.

This annual event began when Citymeals founder Gael Greene and Board member Joan Weill decided to spoof the concept of the power breakfast (largely a male institution) and hold a Power Lunch exclusively for women. Since then the lunch has grown into a networking imperative for the city’s most influential ladies…and the handful of generous men who pay $10,000 for the privilege of joining them.

This year's event honored Martha Stewart for her dedicated work in the field of gerontology, and Lynda Resnick, Co-Chair of Roll International, for her leadership in corporate philanthropy.
