Documentary My Mother's Garden Takes Center Stage September 30th at Second Annual Hope and Recovery Celebration

Cynthia Lester’s 2008 documentary My Mother’s Garden is a personal exploration of Hoarding Disorder and its impact on a family. Lester looks at her own mother, Eugenia, whose Hoarding overtakes her life to the point that the clutter in her home forces her to sleep outdoors. The film follows Lester and her brothers’ efforts to come together, heal, and save their mother from eviction.

Lester will share her insights into her mother’s disorder and discuss how and why she made this unique and stirring film at the Second Annual East House Luncheon Lecture, which will be held on Thursday, September 30th at the Double Tree Hotel. The luncheon is part of East House’s endeavor to spotlight the efforts of those affiliated with these illnesses to live satisfying and productive lives.

Alesco Advisors, Alstom Signal, Buckingham Properties, 
De Paul, Financial Architects/Mass Mutual, Home Care of Rochester, KeySolutions of New York, The Mental Health Association, and St. John Fisher College, have all lent their support as sponsors of the event. Beth Adams of WHAM 1180 will be emcee. Reservations to the luncheon are $35 per person. Eight tables are already reserved. Further sponsorship and advertising opportunities are available. 2010 Partner in Hope Awards will also be presented. For reservations or more information, call (585) 256-3800, ext. 231.

Note: A special showing of "My Mother’s Garden" will take place on Monday, September 20, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at the Cinema Theatre on South Clinton Avenue. Admission is $5, payable at the door. Tickets to the September 30th luncheon will also be available at the film showing.
