Lecture and Book Signing with Karen Pence, Second Lady of the United States, and her daughter, Charlotte Pence

Please join us for a lecture and book signing with Karen Pence, Second Lady of the United States, and her daughter, Charlotte Pence, on their brand new children’s book, Marlon Bundo’s A Day in the Life of the Vice President  (Publish Date: March 19, 2018). This event is free to attend, however books must be purchased in the Reagan Library Museum Store to receive signature. Books may be pre-purchased during the reservation process. This event is open to people of all ages!

From the moment he hopped into the home of America's "Second Family," black-and-white bunny rabbit Marlon Bundo captured the hearts of Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen, and his children Michael, Charlotte, and Audrey. But little Marlon Bundo isn't just a family pet: like Peter Rabbit and Bugs Bunny before him, Marlon—or BOTUS (Bunny of the United States)—is a national celebrity! With his appearances at official White House events, his rides on Air Force 2, and his popular Instagram account, Marlon Bundo has become a beloved member of the family.

So how does a bunny experience a day in the life of the Vice President? Follow Marlon Bundo along as he hops after "Grampa" (Vice President Mike Pence) in this delightful story penned by Charlotte Pence and illustrated faithfully with watercolors from the "Second Lady" herself, Karen Pence.

Charlotte Pence graduated from DePaul University with a double major in Digital Cinema and English. Charlotte lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She is also the proud mom of Marlon Bundo.  Karen Pence is the Second Lady of the United States, an award-winning watercolor artist, and former art teacher. She is married to Vice President Mike Pence and is the mother of Charlotte, Audrey, and Michael and his new wife, Sarah. Karen uses her role as Second Lady to advocate on behalf of art therapists and seeks to educate the public on the many benefits and modes of art therapy. She also champions the encouragement of members of the military and their families.

Due to security measures, no large bags or backpacks will be permitted into the event and all guests will be required to go through a magnetometer before entering the auditorium.  To accommodate this extra movement, check-in will open at 4:00 p.m.  As it will take some time to move every guest through the magnetometer, we recommend arriving early.  Reagan’s Country Café will be open until 6:00 p.m. for those who would like to purchase food or drink prior to the program starting. We greatly appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Please also be aware that no outright campaigning is allowed on the Reagan Library campus. Please do not wear or bring any buttons, banners, flags, etc. that promote Trump/Pence. Anyone who shows up at the event with these types of items will be sent back to their car to put it away.

Reagan’s Country Café will be open from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
