Sweet Connections

Wine, Cheese and Chocolate!

February 12th, 2010

7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

$10.00 Per Adult

1 Glass of Wine and Refreshments Included

Guest Speakers:

Dr Molly Ungar, a history professor at the University of the Fraser Valley will be speaking on "The Inside and the Outside: Romance and Politics in the Thirties".  This is an illustrated presentation about politics and romance in the 1930's in Canada with a B.C. connection.

Heidi Greco: When is comes to writing about romance, Surrey poet Heidi Greco holds a unique niche.  She's participated in such romance events as James Bay Inn's "Loves me, Loves me not" Valentines' Day Series in Victoria, she's been one of the performers for Saltspring Island's Erotic Literacy Evenings, and she's helped launch the anthology Friend Erotica at the Vancouver Readers' and Writers Festival.  One of her quirkiest romantic pieces was selected for TransLink's Poetry-In-Transit program and rode around on buses and SkyTrains for over a year.  The Amelia Poems is her most recent publication.  This chapbook from Abbotsford's Lipstick Press contains speculative pieces on what might have become of one of the most romantic figures of the 1930's lost flier Amelia Earhart.

A Message From Our Collections Manager:  

The MSA Museum Society is pleased to announce that the move of our collection from The Annex in the Clearbrook Library to our new location on McCallum Road is completed. At the moment, our staff and volunteers are busy unpacking, assessing, cleaning and otherwise preparing all the items within the collection for long-term storage and, of course, for exhibition. This work will take several months to complete, as some of the items in the collection are very fragile and have to be moved and cleaned very gingerly, while others are not so fragile but rather unwieldy. In the meantime, exhibits at the house and gallery will go on as scheduled. While the new location is closed to the public, you can contact the collections manager if there is a specific item that you have questions about.

We are also working on updating our collections policy. A committee has been formed to facilitate this. The committee will report back to the board before the AGM with any suggestions for changes to the collections policy as it stands.

  We Would Like To Wish Everyone a Happy New Year!
