VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Our museum volunteers exhibit style and grace every day. So many people selflessly contribute to our mission and inspire us with their dedication, and we're extending special thanks to a few of them below.
Lucinda Frailly
Shortly after retiring from a long career as a high school teacher in May 2001, Mary Regula brought Lucinda on board as the Education Director and Special Events Coordinator for the National First Ladies Library & Museum. Frailly was hooked from the start, feeling honored to educate the public about the First Ladies of our country. Nearly 20 years later, she retired from her dream job but didn't want to step away completely. When the team t National First Ladies invited her to join the scholarship committee, she eagerly accepted. Lucinda believes that continuing education after high school is crucial, and the Mary Regula scholarship helps make it more affordable, encouraging students to pursue further education. Through the application process, students also get the chance to learn about the First Ladies and their contributions to our nation's history. As a volunteer, she continues to support the organization she believes in so passionately!
Catherine Csanyi
Catherine generously volunteers her time at the National First Ladies' Library and Museum, particularly with the educational programs. Her dedication and passion shine through as she helps develop and support various initiatives that educate the public about the remarkable contributions of America's First Ladies. In addition to her work with educational programs, Catherine also serves on the Scholarship Committee, playing a crucial role in helping students pursue further education. Her commitment to education and her enthusiasm for history make her an invaluable member of the team, continuously enriching the museum's offerings and enhancing the experience for visitors of all ages.
Anna & Caterina Nicoletti
Anna and Caterina Nicoletti, a dynamic mother-daughter duo, bring their passion for history and community service to the National First Ladies Museum. Anna manages her husband’s veterinary clinic, ensuring its smooth operation, while Caterina, a recent Communications graduate from Grove City College, leverages her skills to enhance their volunteer efforts.
Since joining the National First Ladies Museum a year ago, Anna and Caterina have been dedicated volunteers, especially at the museum's Third Thursday events. Anna believes that understanding history is crucial for shaping a better future, a sentiment that she and Caterina share wholeheartedly. Together, they take great pleasure in helping to share our nation's history with others, enriching the community through their commitment and enthusiasm.
