April 13, 6pm - The Joys of April
We all know "April showers bring May flowers," but did you know that 1970's Earth Day lead to the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency, or that the sinking of the Titanic resulted in many safety maritime rules and regulations that are still in place today? April is the month of the Boston Marathon, the Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House, the annual Lyrids meteor shower, and the birth month of some of our most well-known personalities, William Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, and Queen Elizabeth II.
Our meeting will provide a fascinating display of some interesting historical videos exploring tragedies and triumphs. Come join us for a lively discussion of what your first car was (The first Mustang was produced April 17,1964 at a cost of $2,368!) and how you celebrate Passover (April 1) or Easter (April 5).

April 20, 6pm - Movie: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
They came. They posed. They conquered. This glitzy celebration of camp, filmed in "Dragorama" and featuring Fellini-esque images, follows two drag queens and a recently widowed trans woman as they cross the Australian outback on a ramshackle bus to perform at a casino. An Academy Award winner for Best Costume Design, this 1994 film features a soundtrack of popular songs, was an inspiration to the 1995 film "To Wong Foo," and later spawned a Broadway musical. Ultimately, "Priscilla" is a movie about identity, intolerance, friendship, and acceptance.
