Local Minister Attends White House Dinner
Christ Episcopal Church’s Pastor Reverend Stephen McHale and his family attended that White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington D.C. on May 3. 

The McHales received their invitation to the exclusive event as a result of a very special family connection. McHale’s older brother, actor and comedian Joel McHale, was the headliner at the dinner. Joel hosts The Soup on E! TV and played Jeff Winger in the NBC comedy series Community. 

The reverend and his wife met President Barack Obama and the First Lady Michelle Obama before the dinner. 

This year’s dinner marked the 100th anniversary of the White House Correspondents’ Association. Newspaper reporters assigned to cover the President founded the organization in 1914. It was later expanded to include reporters from broadcast and online media outlets. The spring dinner was started in 1920.
