Meeting Eleanor Roosevelt

The Friends of the Clara Barton Community Center Invite You to a Special Performance and Reception with Your Neighbors for “Meeting Eleanor Roosevelt” on Saturday, October 13, 2012, 7:30 P.M. , at the Clara Barton Community Center, 7425 MacArthur Blvd., Cabin John, MD 20818

Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was a shy and awkward child, starved for recognition and love, who grew up to become an inspiration to people of good will all around the world. Her life and work made our country and our world a better place in which to live.

Linda Kenyon, who will portray the many roles Mrs. Roosevelt played in her lifetime, has appeared in film and on stage, and as a narrator for national and media presentations. Linda was seen in a movie recently as a society woman in Chris Rock’s Head of State. She also was seen on the Discovery Channel in The Last of the Czars and in France’s Forgotten Shame.  This promises to be a memorable event for all attendees.
