Monday October 30th: A World of Emotions

Prof Angelos Chaniotis treated us to a fascinating lecture on the research behind his award-wining exhibit at the Onassis Center. Prof. Chariots broke down the uses of emotions in ancient Greek culture in a  variety of sectors, such as public and private, drama, politics, etc. His engaging style was a big hit with our attendees and some of us joined him for dinner after.

Friday, April 7th: Springtime in Paris

The Princeton Club's 4th floor was transformed into a Parisian cabaret for our event celebrating the song and wine of the City of Lights. Eddie and Sui taught a basic Swing Lindy lesson and invited us to join them on the dance floor. 
Music was artfully provided by Fleur Seule, featuring Allyson Briggs. Guests were surprised to learn that many of the songs we treasure in the American songbook actually saw the light as French songs first! Some of the most famous examples are: My Way (Comme d'Habitude,) Beyond The Sea (La Mer,) What Now, My Love (Et Maintenant.)

Saturday, March 11th: Clue Chase
We braved the cold to take down world-renowned master thief, The Fox, in his own lair. After breaking in to his vault, we found clues and solved puzzles to liberate a number of stolen treasures. Highlights of our mission included the moment the alarm stopped blaring, mistaking Cassandra's purse for a clue, wondering if she works for the CIA, and singing the love theme to Titanic.
