“Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter to Inspire and Entertain with Her Heroic Story of Personal Recovery from Addiction

The Council on Recovery will feature beloved All-American celebrity Lynda Carter as keynote speaker at the Waggoners Foundation Speaker Series’ 2016 Fall Luncheon, presented by the Wayne Duddlesten Foundation.  The Luncheon takes place Friday, October 28, 2016, at the Hilton Americas – Houston Hotel.

Known to millions as Wonder Woman, actress Lynda Carter also produced and starred in five highly-rated network television specials, several of which were Emmy-nominated. She launched an equally successful singing career, performing for sell-out crowds, earning rave reviews, and appearing on stage with entertainment legends, including Ray Charles, Kenny Rogers, and Bob Hope. Lynda continues to share her success with people in need as a committed community volunteer and philanthropist. She served as Grand Marshall for the DC AIDS Walk and generously supports many charitable organizations.

Most importantly, Lynda Carter is committed to her recovery from alcoholism and addiction. Her recovery story, and its message of hope, is directed to every member of the family. It’s a strong reminder that family support can make a huge difference to a recovering addict or alcoholic.   Lynda credits her husband’s intervention for her ultimate acceptance of personal powerlessness over alcoholism: “After 18 years of recovery, I live every day with immense gratitude. I am forever thankful for my family and friends who stood by me and encouraged me… and for those who helped me heal.” Through her inspiring story, Lynda reveals the power and grace of vulnerability, faith, and surrender that nourish lasting recovery.

Don’t miss this special opportunity to hear Lynda Carter’s story at our Fall Luncheon, October 28th!

**SPECIAL OFFER**  Sponsor a Luncheon table at the Benefactor or Platinum Partner level and receive 2 passes to the Green Room to meet Lynda Carter in person (with a great photo opp)! Sponsor a table at the Event Super Star level and receive 4 Green Room passes. Click here reserve your table!
