A display of wedding albums and several wedding gowns will greet you as you arrive. Our 1969 film, “Hello Dolly!” stars Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau and a young Michael Crawford. It is indeed a “timeless classic” which honors and celebrates marriage. Movie Diva Laura Boyes, Film Curator NCMA, returns to Introduce our Film in her own inimitable and refreshing style – her love of film-making shines through. Join the fun and help our Golden Couples celebrate! This year’s class is of record size with a dozen couples reaching this honored milestone. Please save the date and plan to attend. And if you are celebrating 50 this year and have not been contacted as yet, please call Lowell Hoffman (919-656-9955) or our Film Night Coordinator Donna Thornton (919-260-0370). The word for June is “Happy Anniversary and Hello Dolly”. SAVE THE DATE: NASA AND MOON LANDING - AUGUST 21 Most of us will remember just where we were on July 20, 1969 as we watched live TV coverage of the Moon Landing by NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong. Recently retired Administrator of NASA, Charles Bolden will be our Program Speaker on Wednesday, August 21 to commemorate this milestone event of our time. Bolden was himself an astronaut who flew 4 missions. He commanded the Mission which placed the Hubbell telescope into orbit as but one of his space flight accomplishments. A special program for young people and students will be offered earlier in the afternoon. Program Chair Lowell Hoffman and past Board Member Mike Ryan have collaborated to arrange this landmark program. We hope that members will mark the date on their own August calendars and be prepared to re-live 50 years of space flight history.
