Saturday, June 4th: Great British Scavenger Hunt
Our resourceful group met members of the St. George Society in Central Park to participate in the Great British Scavenger Hunt. Clues led us all over Manhattan to various landmarks highlighting the longstanding friendship between the US and Great Britain. Our group came in 3rd, a very respectable showing! We celebrated our victory at a British Pub.
More of Druce's photos here.
Slideshow here.
Cute wrap-up video here.

Saturday, April 16th: Victorian Ball
Event organizers Gemini & Scorpio threw a Victorian Ball at the Abigail Adams House. Every detail was pretty authentic and well-planned. A chef prepared authentic dishes from the period, and dinner was served by candlelight. Afterwards, our friends partook in the dancing.

Thursday, January 28th: NY Arts & Sciences Salon event, Ain't Misbehaving
Many thanks to Margaret Batiuchok and Charlie Meade for bringing the history of Swing to life so vividly for us.
As usual, the staff of Neapolitan Express took very good care of us, and the food was delicious. Especially the Nutella dessert! :-)
