Mingei Meet-UP
May19, Tuesday, is a free day at the
Mingei Musuem in Balboa Park. Patty Smith discussed at the April meeting about us meeting there and going through the museum as a group. Until July 15th they have a special exhibit of black dolls.
Meet Patty at 10am in the parking lot behind the Starlight Theater. We'll then take the free tram to the museum.
It might also be fun to have lunch at the Japanese Friendship Garden Tea Room. They have all kinds of good food.
If interested, email Patty Smith
Also, if enough are interested we can arrange car pooling. I know I'll be going so I can take three people in my PT.
It’s Raggedy Ann’s100thBirthday!
June 28th we will be celebrating Raggedy Ann's birthday and
the 25th birthday of IOLCC. Think of the best birthday party you went to as a little girl and that is what we'll be having.
That means, start thinking about the party dress/outfit you'll want to wear and the type of food you would eat at, let's say, 8 to 10 years old. Sounds fun? You bet it will be. We'll have more details in the June newsletter but I wanted to get your
imagination going.
Date - June 28th - 3pm until?
Place: Debby Tomcik's.
Events of Interest: May 14th and 16th2!
