Dinner with Destiny: Meet Mr. Lincoln
Have dinner with President Abraham Lincoln on Saturday, November 1 at Smyrna Community Center.
What if you had the chance to have dinner with America’s 16th President? What would you ask him?
Now’s your chance! Join the Friends of Smyrna Library on Saturday, November 1, at 6:30 p.m. for the first annual “Dinner with Destiny” fundraiser where we will “Meet Mr. Lincoln.”
Professional Abraham Lincoln presenter, Dennis Boggs presents an enlightening and informative look at the life of Lincoln as it might have been told by Honest Abe himself. The audience will travel from Lincoln’s birth in the wilderness of Kentucky to his early years in Indiana and Illinois... from storekeeper to self-taught lawyer and politician... from his years as President during the Civil War to his death at the hands of an assassin in Ford’s Theatre.
Mr. Boggs is a full-time Lincoln presenter from Nashville, Tennessee. His credits include two documentaries for the History Channel, “Being Lincoln” and “Looking for Lincoln.”
“Dinner with Destiny” is a fundraiser sponsored by the Friends of Smyrna Library (FOSL) to benefit the children’s print collection at Smyrna Public Library. Demand for children’s materials has increased 178% over the past five years. FOSL’s goal for this fundraiser is to generate $3,200 in funds to buy children’s nonfiction books to support the educational pursuits of Smyrna’s youth.
