July 17                                                               First Folio Shakespeare performance of Twelfth Night, 6:30 p.m. at Peabody Mayslake

Last year’s trip to the First Folio production of Macbeth was such a success, we’re going to have another Shakespeare in the park on Saturday, July 17.  Bring your picnic, lawn chairs, etc. at 6:30. We’ll picnic first and then enjoy a Shakespearean performance

The show is on the beautiful grounds of the Mayslake Peabody Estate Forest Preserve, located just west of Highway 83, at 31st Street. Tickets are $28 ($23 for seniors), payable at the ticket booth on the evening of the show.  Contact Sherry Yarema at 630/858-5225 you plan to attend.  Rain date will be July 24.

 

July 21                                                               Chicago Cubs Outing, 1:20 p.m. at Wrigley Field

We still have a few tickets remaining for our AAUW Chicago Cubs game on July 21. The Cubs will be playing the Houston Astros. It’s a 1:20 PM game and if you get there early enough, you may get a free Cubs key chain. Members will be on their own for transportation – either car pool or public transportation.

To buy tickets, email Jane Palmer or call her at  630/682-3072. The cost is $30 per ticket. Make checks payable to the Branch. (About $7 per ticket will go to the Branch’s Convention Fund.) Members will have priority until June 15. Limit of 4 tickets per member. Go Cubs!
