Alan DeVelario

DERBY - Former White House butler and author Alan DeVelario will speak at Derby Public Library at 6 p.m. Oct. 2.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to attend a Presidential function at the White House? How about a State Dinner?

Have you ever wondered what the family quarters of the White House look like?

Well, former White House Butler Alan DeValerio, who served from 1980-1989, will be at Derby Public Library to tell you all about it!

Alan will give you the inside details about all the preparations involved in White House entertaining, and how it has evolved over the years from FDR to the present.
