What & When

On Sunday, December 2, 2007;

join us at 2:00 PM for a full 5-hour viewing of Pride and Prejudice; BBC/A&E 1995

with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

How and ultimately, Why?

This is a BYOS&R event (Bring Your Own Snacks & Refreshments) and it is very informal, so feel free to dress comfortably. You can also bring a pillow, a little blanket, or anything else that will make you comfortable for the five straight hours of Colin Firth-Imbued Bliss. Nothing like lots of stand-offish brooding to make anyone’s Sunday better!

Please be kind enough to drop me an email or a call to let us know if you plan to attend, and if so, how many of your friends and family you will be bringing with you. This event is free of charge thanks to our wonderful Sponsor; Holy Names Heritage Center.
