On Saturday, May 17 at 2 pm, actress Sheryl Faye will perform her show “Amelia Earhart: Pioneer in Aviation.” 

Since 2003, Sheryl Faye has masterfully brought to life important historical women who have shaped the world in which we live. In her one-woman shows, she immerses the audience in a multimedia, learning experience that captivates viewers and sparks their desire to learn more.

Earhart’s love of the air “took flight” when she paid a pilot exactly $1.00 to take her up for a short “hop” in his plane. From that moment, the science of aviation became her passion, and flying became her career.                             

Earhart followed her dreams with an unconquerable spirit. Her story will inspire everyone to pursue their own paths, whatever they may be. The presentation highlights the importance of family and respect for others – but it also emphasizes the importance of the individual. 

Before the performance at 1 pm, the Friends of Case Memorial Library will host their Annual Business Meeting; following the brief meeting, they will award the Lucy Scillia Scholarship. At 1:30 pm, guests may enjoy delectable refreshments before the 2:00 pm show begins.
