Maybelline descendant and author ofThe Maybelline Story, Sharrie Williams will reveal through vintage ads and family photos why women love their cosmetics. Book signing to follow; book available in the Museum store. Tickets for optional lunch available.
Close to 100 people attended an elegant buffet luncheon in my honor and Ronna Beeson,

My beautiful daughter, Georgia on the left, attended and video taped some of my presentation.
A packed Lecture Hall, included journalist, students of fashion as well as interested Art Museum members and non-members, from the community.
My 45 minute presentation, was filled with interesting facts funny anecdotes and priceless vintage Maybelline ads and family photos. As an Award Winning Toastmaster and professional speaker, I believe my audience enjoyed it all.
