Rodgers Forge Women Invited to Three Arts Club of Homeland Upcoming Events

The following is a message sent to the women of the community from the Three Arts Club of Homeland:

"I am writing to invite the ladies of Rodgers Forge to a luncheon and program on Monday, June 4th at The Three Arts Club of Homeland as pour guests. The club was established in 1929 by Mrs. Edward Milholland. In the 1960's the members raised funds and had a building constructed at 4 Wyndhurst Avenue. The front of the clubhouse is comprised of three arches to denote music, art and literature. The object of the club is to foster a love and appreciation of music, literature and art: and to afford opportunity for enriching the cultural life of the community by providing meetings, lectures, recitals, workshops, classes, exhibits and other activities in keeping with these ideals.



Each year the club provides scholarships and awards to students studying art, literature, music, dance and theater at Essex Comm. College, Maryland Institute of Art, Towson, University, Dundalk Comm. College, The Johns Hopkins University, Peabody Preparatory of Music, UMBC and Baltimore School for the Arts.



The club offers art outings, cultural tours, duplicate bridge, a book club, antiques seminars, music matinees, Mah Jongg, floral design classses, literature matinees and art shows and receptions.



We give to local charities including Can Too and the Guilford Academy and volunteer at the Baltimore Symphony Showhouse.



Each month the club hosts a luncheon and program on the first Monday of the month for its members. The luncheon begins at 11:45 followed by a program on June 4th by the "Young American Virtuosi". This trio has won their way into the hearts of millions of people through their concerts in North America, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. They have preformed at Carnegie Hall, did a Pre-Oylmpic concert in China and acted as soloists in the Beethoven Triple Concerto with the Young German Symphony Orchesta.



As you can see, we are a very active group and hopefully you will consider joining us on Monday, June 4th. To make reservations or for additional information, please call 410 433-1765. I am also available to come to one of your monthly meetings to speak about our organization.



Also, I wanted to let you know that I'm planning a bus trip as a fundraiser for the Towson 4th of July Parade for Saturday, April 28, 2012. Hope you and members of the Hampton can join us as we travel back in time to New Castle, Delaware which was the first capital of Delaware; and today is considered one of the most unique towns in the U.S. We will tour four historic buildings including the Read House which is one of the finest examples of transitional Georgian/Federal Architecture and the Court House which was the 1st state house of Delaware and served as court house until 1882. A three course lunch will be served at the Jessop Tavern and Colonial Restaurant. There will be time to stroll through the town’s quaint gift shops. As in the past, we will leave from the Towson American Legion Parking Lot. I've included a flyer that has all the details. The price includes bus, bus driver's tip, admissions, lunch and snacks. Feel free to send the flyer to all of your e-mail and facebook friends. All profits go toward the 2012 parade which will be on Wednesday, July 4th. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you can join us on what will be a step in history.
