WHAT: |
Women in Central Florida are invited to a
book signing event to honor the late Marilyn Mennello, who
is highlighted in the new book Women of True Grit during a
special event. Tina Savas, the co-author, will be at the
Mennello Museum of American Art to speak about Orlando art
and civic leader Marilyn Logsdon Mennello’s contributions to
the art world and why she was the first woman interviewed
for the book.
A woman committed to the cultural
community, Mrs. Mennello, along with her husband Michael,
established the Mennello Museum of American Art in 1998 in
Orlando. Mrs. Mennello was a resident of Orlando since 1962
and became known throughout the community for her strong
philanthropic spirit and passion for art.
In Women of True Grit, the late Mrs.
Mennello is honored as a pioneering woman of vision, along
with other American luminaries such as Meredith Vieira and
Dr. Betty L. Siegel. Those who are featured in the book
broke new ground in business, media, arts and medicine.
