Harnish Main Large Meeting Room

Get a front-row seat for Chicago: True Stories and travel back to 1920 with Flora, the flapper!

This is an exciting way to learn about a remarkable time in our American History.

The 1920s, saturated with surprise, sequins, and murder, will come alive in this program presented by the award-winning national speaker, Martina Mathisen (Ma-Tea-sen) (tea like the drink). She has presented programs all over the country. Unfortunately, she is unable to attend, but she has sent Flora the Flapper, straight out of the 1920s, in her place.

AAPLD embraces inclusivity in its programs and services. To request accommodations, please email [info@aapld.org] or call (847) 458-6060 x143 at least 7 days in advance.
