DERBY — Join us at the Derby Public Library on Monday, October 2, 2023 at 6:00 pm for The History of White House Entertainment, an engaging talk from former White House butler and author, Alan DeValerio.
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to attend a Presidential function at the White House? How about a State Dinner? Have you ever wondered what the Family Quarters of the White House look like?
Well, former White House Butler. Alan DeValerio, who served from 1980 – 1989, will tell you all about it! Alan give you the inside details about all the preparations involved in White House entertaining, and how it has evolved over the years from FDR to the present.
Not only will Alan relate his firsthand experiences with history, but he’ll pass on the stories he has heard from those who have been taking care of our First Families ever since the Franklin Roosevelt administration!
Alan will also display many of the White House artifacts (menus, programs, Christmas cards, personal photos, etc.) that he has collected over the years. This is a presentation that you won’t want to miss!
This is a free event, but registration is requested. To sign up to attend or to obtain further information, please contact the Derby Public Library at 203 – 736-1482 or visit derbypubliclibrary.org.
