Amelia Earhart presenter highlights potluck gathering

“Amelia Earhart – A One Woman Show,” presented by Carol Starre-Kimecik, will highlight the Bay Village Historical Society potluck gathering on Thursday, Feb. 16, at the Bay Village Community House.

When Earhart disappeared in 1937 during her attempt to fly around the world, she was already known as America’s most famous female aviator. Her sense of daring and determination, rare for women of her time, brought her fame from the day she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane. She was an uncommonly courageous woman who met a brilliant man who helped her dreams take wing.

Admission to the potluck and program are free of charge. Attendees with a last name beginning with A to L are asked to bring an appetizer or dessert for 10 to share. Guests with last names beginning with M to Z are asked to bring a side dish for 10. The historical society will provide the main dish of pork medallions with reduction sauce. Social hour begins at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. and program at 7 p.m. Those who plan to attend can RSVP to Steve Ruscher at steveruscher884@gmail.com or at 216-346-5645.
