Children and adults enjoy Mary Poppins Fundraiser

Leslie Christiansen's grandchildren Keegan and
Tatum meet Bert and Mary Poppins.

 The Phoenix Theatre was crowded with Historical League members and guests for Saturday, Dec 6 matinee. Lots of great raffle items lured the attendees to drop in their tickets along with delightful appetizers, cookies and treats to munch on. After the performance, the crew came out to meet their fans.
Thanks to Ann Lupica for organizing such a fantastic fundraiser. Non-profits working together created a wonderful event for the Historical League.

Keegan dressed in "Bert" attire asked him where
to get a real chimney sweep broom.

Mary Poppins and Tatum were always smiling.

Mary Poppins Smashing Success

Wonderful new event for the Historical League with all attending smiling throughout the day. The performance was uplifting, great staging effects, singing and dancing. Children and adults alike enjoyed the day with plenty of refreshments, socializing, raffle items and Holiday Cheer! Kudos to Anne Lupica and her committee!

With another cookbook order to be delivered to Rock Springs Cafe, I asked if someone would be able to deliver boxes of books. In a few hours, I had many Historical League members volunteer for the job. Thanks to Judy Blackwell, Renee Donnelly, Karolee Hess, Sharron McKinney, Margaret Baker, Carol Griffin and Karen Swanson for stepping up!
