Distinguished Fellow Lecture
Britain, America, and the Written Constitution
SEPT 29, WED, 7:30 PM
In the 18th century, revolutions in America and France gave rise to written constitutions. Yet it was Britain, with its “unwritten” constitution, that arguably did more than any other nation to influence the drafting of constitutions. Linda Colley, professor of history at Princeton University and the Fletcher Jones Foundation Distinguished Fellow, examines this paradox. Free. No reservations required. Friends’ Hall.

Walter Nelson, with assistance from his wife Sheila and Kris Davey, will present "Mr. Nelson's System of Simplified Regency Dance" - a system where a dancer of average skill can capture the authentic spirit of the dance of the English Regency and late 18th Century.

The class will teach the basic steps practiced in English Regency Country dancing. When a step requires more advanced skills, a simplified form will be taught as well.

CGW is hosting a Workshopette called "Getting Ready for the Victorian Ball" this Sunday, 10/24 from 2p-4p in Sherman Oaks. It is a fabulous educational opportunity for those attending the November SDI ball to learn how to do their hair. There will also be a quick review on Victorian ball gowns with primary resources available. Is this something you would consider including in your Upcoming Events emails?

There are still a number of tickets available - here is the website for information:
