Dear Friends,

I hope you'll join us this Thursday evening, December 9, for our last Evening With program of the calendar year. National Geographic's John Bredar will screen The President's Photographer - on which he served as executive producer - and sign copies of the film's companion book which he authored. After the screening, he'll be joined in a discussion by David Valdez, who served as chief White House photographer for George H.W. Bush.

Happy holidays,

Mark K. Updegrove
Director
