March 8th’s Box Lunch Talk Presents the Story of Heifer International In 1944, the first shipment of 17 heifers left the United States, going to families whose children had never tasted milk. The idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief caught on and has continued for more than 65 years. And a Carroll County farm in Union Bridge was the birth place for this organization. Join Patricia "Pat" Roop Hollinger, the farmer's daughter who witnessed the birth of the organization, as she tells the story of this amazing group based in New Windsor at the Tuesday, March 8th Box Lunch Talk. Presented by the Historical Society of Carroll County, The Box Lunch Talks are a monthly lecture series on topics relating to local history. The talks are held the second Tuesday of each month from noon to 1 pm at Carroll Post #31 of the American Legion at the corner of East Green and Sycamore Streets. Participants are encouraged to bring a lunch. Beverages and dessert are provided for all. Admission is $1.00 for Historical Society members and a $4.00 donation is requested from non-members.

Their newly hired butler, Perkins, watches stoically as each leaves and secretly returns for a romantic rendezvous in an empty house. Harry’s secretary and Captain South of Marine Corps Embassy Security then arrive in the wake of a bomb threat and the embassy is sealed off, with hilarious results. Even the imperturbable Perkins is drawn into the shenanigans. Performances begin at 8:00 pm on March 11th, 12th, 18th and 19th and 2:00 pm on March 13th. Tickets are $12.00 for adults and $11.00 for Arts Council members and seniors 60 years & over. Tickets for groups of 10 or more are $10.00 each. Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Eat & Drink Downtown!
