Emily Simpson, a 1994 graduate of Middletown’s Madison High School, is scheduled to make a special appearance at Turbo Zone Fitness in Centerville from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, Erica Monbeck, the gym’s owner, said.
Simpson, the newest member of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Orange County,” will be in town to visit family members, she said.
Monbeck said the meet and greet with Simpson will be free, but she plans to make the event a fundraiser for a local breast cancer organization.
Details are still being arranged.

Sara Moffitt, a 1997 Madison grad and Simpson's sister, is one of Monbeck's clients at the "boutique gym" that offers personal training and a list of circuit style classes that includes tabata, circuits, booty camp and straight strength.
Moffitt, the surrogate for Simpson’s children, helped arrange the meet and greet.

Calling Simpson “cool people,” Monbeck said she is a fan of her show and her close-knit family.
“I think it is super cool,” Monbeck said of Simpson’s visit. “It wasn’t even a hesitation when I asked.”
Simpson is also scheduled to make an appearance Dec. 2 at Cobblestone Cafe. She will meet fans from noon to 3 p.m. at the eatery and home interiors shop at 10 N. Main St. in Waynesville.
