Ladies Tea Luncheon
The Mayor
& Turn-of-the-Century Style Show
Thursday, July 14, 5pm
Wednesday, August 31, 11am
Join us for the Turn-of-the-Century Style Show
where we’ll view the delightful period style
dresses, followed by a delicious lunch with tea and
dessert. The Style Show starts out in the 1800s,
when corsets were worn, skirts were long and
full, and ladies were well covered. We will move to
the early 1990s when the pigeon blouse and the
“Gibson Girl” was the style. The intricate details
of inset lace and fine pin-tucking will amaze you.
Take notice of the crocheted buttons, the gored
inset pieces with the “knife pleats” and the use
of the hook-and-eyes verses zippers. We will even
show you the scandalous “pneumonia” blouse
condemned by doctors and the clergy as a hazard
to health and morals. The style show winds up in
the “Edwardian White” period with a look at the
“lingerie style of clothing.” Rejoice that corsets are
no longer the style!
Special thanks to our sponsor Howard’s Jewelry.

From Russia with Love
Friday, September 9, 11am
Our tour will focus on two main Russian cities: Moscow and St. Petersburg. The
capital, Moscow, is well known as the site of the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral,
with its elegant onion domes and bright vivid color scheme, which was constructed
on Red Square in the mid 1500s. Founded in 1703 by Tsar Peter I, St. Petersburg
is located on the Neva River on the Baltic Sea. Known as the “Venice of the North,”
canals and rivers run throughout the city and past the impressive Winter Palace of
the Tsars. The city served as the Russian Empire’s capital for more than 250 years
and has retained its imperial grandeur. A lunch of beef stroganoff and Russian sweet
treats will be served.

Channel Island Live Dive
Friday, June 24, 3:30pm
Seldom seen, but encompassing almost half of the
California National Park, the underwater environment
often goes unnoticed. Now, Channel Island Live Dives
brings this ocean realm to you through technology.
Great forests of kelp flourish in the waters surrounding the Channel Islands. Over 1,000 species of marine organisms can be found here. Seals, sea lions,
fishes, marine invertebrates, and algae all blend together under the kelp canopy to form one of the most
biologically diverse ecosystems in the world. The Live
Dive is an interactive broadcast program that takes
you on a virtual hike through the kelp forest to get a
real glimpse into this seldom seen world without even
getting wet. From the landing cove at Anacapa Island,
park rangers wearing special microphone-equipped
dive masks descend into the kelp forest, camera in
hand. The divers explain what the camera is revealing
and answer visitors’ questions about the kelp forest
and its many inhabitants, from lobsters to spiny sea
urchins and brightly colored fish.

LAKE MINNETONKA
Postcards and Happy Hour
Tuesday, July 26, 3-5pm
The faded writing on an old postcard gives us a glimpse
of how people lived, traveled, and spent their leisure time.
But this simple ephemera is also an invaluable resource
for historians, preserving images of years gone by. Few
places in the west were as prolific in the distribution of
postcards as Lake Minnetonka. First appearing in the early years of the 20th century, these cards are sometimes
the only evidence we have of the lake’s great hotels, massive steamers, and amusement parks, as well as humble
bait shops, streetscapes, and bits of everyday life. Chuck
Donley is the president of the Twin City Postcard Club and
has a personal collection of over 1,000 cards of Lake Minnetonka and its surrounding towns. He will share images
of the lake area - both familiar and rare - and will explore
what the fascinating hobby of delitiology can tell us about
Lake Minnetonka’s history. Afterwards, we will enjoy happy hour featuring “mocktails” and hors d’oeuvres.
