Please Join Us on June 5 for a Lecture and Luncheon with Claire Guadagno
American First Ladies – Women Who Made a Difference surveys the First Ladies who created, defined and responded to the duties and demands of the Executive Mansion. As the premier hostess of the nation’s highest office, these incomparable women respected tradition but expanded the role and their influence to impact society, politics, medicine, mental health, social service and civic engagement. Join us to learn more about their lives, accomplishments, personal style and vision for the Executive Mansion.
Claire has “introduced” the First Ladies to garden clubs, women’s clubs and civic organizations in New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Florida. We are delighted to welcome Claire to share her expertise with us, and join us for a festive luncheon to welcome in the summer season
