Commencement

The film for this Sunday, Sept. 27, is Commencement. The story revolves around Christa who has just graduated as valedictorian from a very prestigious university. But her real education begins in the next 36 hours.  Commencement is a funny, romantic and thought-provoking look at three generations of a middle class family caught in the wake of the current fiscal crisis.

As an added bonus, the director of the film, Steve Albrezzi, will be in attendance and will lead a Q&A at the end of the film. You won't want to miss this great opportunity to actually meet and hear from the filmmaker. 

Club Members Having Fun

Since Jenny loves Transylvania, she wanted a photo standing with this great movie cutout for the 2nd installment of the film. We decided we all should get in the photo. So here is John, Gladys, me (Nancy), Shar, Jim, Jenny and John.
