White House Visit
and Special Tour

More than 80 members of ANWC responded to First Lady Laura Bush’s invitation to

tour the White House and meet with her on Tuesday, October 21st.

In keeping with the tradition that began with Eleanor Roosevelt in the club’s first year, ANWC presented

Mrs. Bush with a certificate making her an honorary member. She graciously accepted and welcomed us in the State Dining Room, where a photo was taken.

As guests of the First Lady, members were invited to bring cameras and many snapped photos during the tour and during the meeting with the First Lady.

Watch this website for a photo album of the club’s visit.

This members-only event at the White House is one of many benefits enjoyed by ANWC members.
