Alliance Potluck and Presentation

Potluck at noon with program to follow at 1PM

This month, our speaker is author Robert Plumb. His current work, The Better Angels: Five Women Who Changed Civil War America, was published in March 2020. Plumb’s writing has appeared in The Montgomery County Story, Hallowed Ground, the magazine of the American Battlefield Trust, and the Washington Post and Washington Post Magazine. He holds a BA in history from the State University of New York at Buffalo and an MA from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. He is a member of the Montgomery County Civil War Round Table, the Civil War Round Table of the District of Columbia.

Also, we are collecting travel-size hygiene items for Shepherd's Table that we will bring to them after the luncheon. Many of their clients carry all of their belongings in a single bag, so the travel sizes are important so that extra weight isn't added.
