Event Details

Former White House butler Alan DeValerio is coming to our Miller Branch!  He's going to give you the inside details about all the preparations involved in White House entertaining. Not only will he relate his first-hand experiences with history, but he will pass on the stories from those people that he worked with (like Eugene Allen, on whom the movie “Lee Daniels' The Butler” was based) 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, personal photos, etc. ) he has collected over the years. And after the program his book “A History of Entertainment in the Modern White House” will be available for purchase and signing.

This is a presentation you won't want to miss!

Before the presentation join us on Tuesday, February 27 at 2 pm for a screening of Lee Daniels' The Butler.
