[Hidden-tech] save these program dates . . .

[A - Z International]

Hi all,

With all the focus going towards the May 16 fundraiser/sales program (see 
details on www.hidden-tech.net) I don't want two other very important, 
exciting and fun programs to get lost in the shuffle.

While signing up for the fundraiser (yes, there are a few seats left), 
please also note the following:


CONNECT TO PITTSFIELD ARTS INSTITUTIONS

DATE: Saturday, June 3

TIME: 11:30 a.m.

WHERE: Arrowhead Museum in Pittsfield, Ma. (home of Herman Melville as in
author of Moby Dick)

COST: $9 for those who want to take the Melville house tour and visit the
Gilded Age Exhibit

FOOD: Bring a picnic lunch (some refreshments available to purchase)

Did you know that Pittsfield is growing a number of amazing arts institutions?

Here's a chance to learn more about what's blossoming in Pittsfield and
connect to a number of the arts professionals in that city as you tour a
variety of venues after a picnic lunch at beautiful Arrowhead, home of
author Herman Melville. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday in June.
This is a kid's friendly day so don't hesitate to bring them.

There's no guarantee that food will be on sale, so make sure you bring a
snack and something to share if you like. Becky Smith owner of the Thaddeus
Clapp House, Wendell Avenue, is providing the Hidden-Tech community tea and
snacks later in the day. There is no charge.

Here's the schedule that Peter Bergman, our co-Berkshire coordinator and
arts promoter par excellence, has put together for us.

SCHEDULE:

11:30 AM - Gather at Arrowhead for tour of "Becoming Pittsfield: the
Gilded Age" and - if people want - a tour of the Melville House as well.
Price $9 per person for those who want to see the house and exhibit. Lunch
on the lawn.

2 p.m. - Tour of the Colonial Theater

3 p.m. - Tea at Thaddeus Clapp House, Wendell Avenue with an informational
chat with Barrington Stage Co.
