Tales Of Beatrix Potter: Ballet in HD (90 minutes)
What?
A special performance for children of all ages or for those who are just young at heart! London's Royal Ballet Tales of Beatrix Potter brings the characters from her famous stories alive.
In 1971, Frederick Ashton choreographed Tales of Beatrix Potter for film. Two decades later, Anthony Dowell staged Ashton's choreography for The Royal Ballet, giving the company one of its more charming offerings. The production's ingenious use of scale when designing the sets and their spectacular costumes and masks quickly draws audiences in to the wondrous world of Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher and Jemima Puddleduck.
Only in The Royal Ballet's Tales of Beatrix Potter will you behold the delightful dancing naughty mice, see Pigling Bland and Pig-Wig perform a wonderful pig pas de deux, witness an overly excited Squirrel Nutkin leap, twirl and whirl around the stage and cheer as all of the much loved characters join in the glorious grand finale.
"Enchanting. If you want to connect with your inner child - or, even better, if you have a youngster in tow - then this is the show for you. How can you resist?" - Debra Craine, The Times

La Leche League Garage Sale and Raffle
What?
Bring clothes for baby, toddler, preschoolers, older children, men, women, as well as household items and toys that you no longer use and we will offer them during our Garage Sale. Shop for what you need! Anything remaining after the sale will be donated to charity. Please invite friends and family to join in on the bargains. The prices are the best deal of all! Make a donation to our LLL Group of whatever amount you feel is appropriate and affordable. Consider posting a photo of a large item you would like to donate instead of bringing it to the church. We will have some social time after the sale during which time we will need helpers to bag up the leftovers for charity! After the great success of last year's raffle, we will be holding another raffle this year! Buy a ticket for $5 and you could win a terrific prize! As an enticement to become a LLL Member, we will give a free raffle ticket to anyone who purchases a new, renewal or gift membership from one of our local groups between now and the Garage Sale.
