Presentation: "Painted Out of History" - the amazing story of mother and daughter artists named Ellen and Rolinda Sharples.  Rolinda Sharples painted the iconic Regency scene of the Clifton Assembly Rooms, which opened in 1806 - the year Jane Austen visited Clifton. Hear details about their life in England and America.  Like Jane, Rolinda died far too young in her 40s.  And like Jane, her work lives on to be appreciated by modern audiences.

Presenter: Bonny Wise

Location: Locust Grove Auditorium

Time: 2:00-4:00 p.m.

More information about this meeting: After the presentation, we will serve hot tea along with tasty treats brought in by members.  Feel free to bring a sweet or savory treat to share after any presentation!  

Just a reminder to bring your own teacup and saucer (if possible). If you do not have a teacup and saucer, fret not, we will always have teacups & saucers for our members and guests to use.  If you bring your own, we suggest that you tie a ribbon around the handle so that we'll know it is a private teacup and saucer so that it does not get mixed up with JASNA's sets. Bringing your own significantly reduces our cleanup duties, since we do not have a dishwasher.

After all of our meetings, we especially need volunteers to help clean up afterwards - to put up chairs, wash/dry dishes, pack away teacups, saucers, and plates, and just general tidying-up in the kitchen. The more helpers we have, the faster we'll get things done.
