North Royalton Branch

Large Meeting Room 121 & 122 (126)

Commemorate Presidents' Day as Beverly Sadowski examines the intellect and humor of our 35th president, illustrating how JFK came to hold such an exalted position throughout the world.

John F. Kennedy’s brief presidency represented a time of abiding hope and inspiration, despite the Cold War and its looming specter of a thermonuclear exchange. His repeated references in so many speeches to “our children” and “future generations” illuminated President Kennedy’s exceptional visionary approach to both domestic and national policies.

The words, actions, and style of JFK provide a window into why he continues to be regarded as one of the most admired presidents of the modern era.  We should not fail to recall a time when the spoken words and outward demeanor of a United States president portrayed so powerfully to the worldwide community the best that America had to offer.

Commemorate Presidents' Day as Beverly Sadowski examines the intellect and humor of our 35th president, illustrating why his presidency came to hold such an exalted position throughout the world during his lifetime and beyond.
