Yes, you read that correctly! The Friends of the Waterbury Public Library are having their annual Spring Tea event on Sunday, May 4 at 2:00 PM at the American Legion Post 59 on Stowe Street in Waterbury, and have hired Eleanor Roosevelt to come talk about her life from 1905 to 1945 as wife, mother and First Lady.

Actress Elena Dodd brings life to Eleanor Roosevelt in this one-woman drama and historical interpretation of the four decades of her marriage to FDR, including her adventures as a controversial First Lady in the 1930's and 1940's. With a frank, often humorous look at some of her struggles, she recalls her years as a timid young wife and mother, and her growing involvement in politics and social issues. A dialogue with audience will follow the presentation.

This is a FREE Vermont Humanities Council event, open to the public, and, as always, the Friends of the Waterbury Library will provide an array of delicious refreshments.
