America’s First Ladies The Best, the Worst, and the Strangely Forgotten

The role of First Lady comes with no job description, no pay, and no written requirements.

Yet America’s presidential spouses have wielded great influence and have always been subject to intense public scrutiny. In this fascinating illustrated lecture, historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., explores which First Ladies have rated highest and lowest or most in between with historians. Who do you think was best or worst? Why were some so vilified? And what might the future hold for the role of the American First Lady?

Scan the QR code to purchase tickets, or visit www.mycommunityhouse.org/ladies Friday, April 29th 1:30 pm Tickets: $25 in advance/$30 day of the event.

pickleball!

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a whiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but has become popular among adults as well.
