Laura Bush to visit Rochester

Continuing a tradition of landing big-name headliners for its fundraisers, Lakeside Health System plans to welcome former first lady Laura Bush as the featured speaker at its 21st annual gala next month.

In headlining the health system's event, Bush follows a long line of nationally famous figures, including her in-laws, former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell as well as GOP strategist Mary Matalin, along with her husband, Democratic strategist James Carville, and CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite also have headlined Lakeside fundraisers.

The Brockport health system's 2009 gala is slated for the evening of Dec. 11 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
