Programs (programs@adsw.org)
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:10:19 -0400
Dear ADSW Members & Friends,
This spring we will present our annual bus tour of Art Deco architecture
in association with the The Big Read - D.C. The featured novel this year
will be F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, set in the Jazz Age of
the 1920s. The tour will be entitled "Discovering the Jazz Age in
Washington's Wonderful Art Deco Architecture," and we will include
buildings from that period.
The Big Read's participation this year will allow us to offer the tour
for the very reasonable cost of $25 ($20 for ADSW members, full-time
students, and seniors 65 & over).
Join the ADSW today and get discounted tickets to this and other events,
and preview tickets to events like this that are sure to sell out. A
yearly membership is only $35.00 per person!
Below you will find additional details and registration information. I
hope you can attend.
