Diane Cobb helps at Mary Poppins event

So many people made the Mary Poppins event on December 6th a success. Thanks to Diane Cobb helping Ruth McLeod at the Tastes & Treasures cookbook table. Children's aprons with the Old Ned logo were popular too!

Thank you letters are the best

Don't you love Thank You letters! Historical League members generously donated Mary Poppins tickets to www.SingletonMoms.com  Single Parents with Cancer. Anne Lupica organized the fundraising event for the Historical League.

"Dear Anne,
Singleton Moms is so grateful for the opportunity for our families to attend Mary Poppins over the weekend.  This was such an amazing musical and amazing venue for our families.  Many of them would not have the opportunity to be a part of something so special without your generous donations!.  They expressed to me their appreciation and excitement after the show and it truly lifted my heart to know how much they gained from this experience and the important and lasting memories they created. Please let everyone at the Historical League know how important their contribution has been to the lives of Single parents with cancer and their children!"
From Keeley Forrestel Program Coordinator Singleton Moms

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.
