The White House Easter Egg Roll  [PDF]

Rolling Easter eggs on the White House South Lawn is one of the most eagerly anticipated spring events in our Nation’s Capital. This colorful festival, created by children, found its way to the White House in 1878, and is one of the oldest traditions of the President’s house. President and Mrs. Obama continue the custom by hosting an “egg roll” party on the south lawn of the White House on Easter Monday, April 5, 2010.

The White House State Dinner  [PDF]

A state dinner honoring a visiting head of government or reigning monarch is one of the grandest and most glamorous of White House affairs. But behind the festive exterior of the social scene, the important business of government goes on — information is gathered — opinions exchanged — powerful connections made and appearances upheld. For these reasons White House state dinner invitations are the most important and the most sought after in the nation’s social whirl.
