Fireside Chats with Nina Roosevelt Gibson
Date:Sunday, April 25
Description: Meet Nina Roosevelt Gibson after professional performances of Fireside Chats. Tickets are $20. Please make checks payable to Andrea for AZ, PO Box 495, Green Valley, 85622.
Sierra Vista Councilman Tom Reardon says it best:

"The "Fireside Chats" presentation with "FDR" and "Eleanor" was absolutely wonderful. James and Elizabeth Gooden were incredible in their portrayals of President and Mrs. Roosevelt. James' reenactment of FDR's first inaugural speech and his subsequent radio broadcasts during the Great Depression really drove home the tremendous challenges that faced the President and the American people - FDR's words ring true today. I highly recommend this show to everyone of any political affiliation...this is a "bipartisan" opportunity to learn. Having the opportunity to meet and talk with Nina Roosevelt Gibson as part of the presentation is not to be missed."
