Ladies Tea with Eleanor Roosevelt

On September 27th at 1:30pm we will be enjoying a Ladies Tea with one of the most admired people of the 20th Century. Sheryl Faye will bring alive Eleanor Roosevelt in an interactive presentation of her life. After suffering through an unhappy childhood, and losing her parents and one of her brothers. She figured out where she fit in and could make a difference. She grew up and became an American politician. The longest-serving First Lady of the United States. She was the first presidential spouse to hold press conferences, write a syndicated newspaper column, and speak at a national convention. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees. She also became one of the first delegates to The United Nations. Please register for this free wonderful tea party by calling (860)434-4127..
