The Lincoln Chapter of the Nebraska Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, invite you to join us on Saturday February 25, 2017 at the Havelock Social Hall for and evening featuring A Visit With Lady Vestey. The price for the buffet diner will be $20 per person, vegetation option available.
Lady Vestey became the highest paid woman executive in the world in the early 1900’s. As an employee of the Vestey Cold Storage Company she traveled extensively and learned many languages. She was instrumental in providing food for the Allied troops during World War I and lived in London during the bombing of Britain during World War II. She joined the English nobility when she married her boss, William. They bought their own cruise ship named the Arandora Star and lived in a huge house in London named Kingswood. Lady Vestey traveled far, but she never found a place that she liked better than Nebraska. This program provides stories and information that appeals to all ages.
