"One cannot have too large a party. A large party secures its own amusement." —Jane Austen
As many of you know, the AGM in 2010 will be held in Portland Oregon and much work has been carried out to get the ball (not just the Regency Ball!) rolling. The novel to be explored is Northanger Abbey, and the theme, Jane Austen and the Abbey: Mystery, Mayhem and Muslin, promises to provide fun and illumination, not just on the novel but also fabrics.... More details will be posted after the Chicago AGM in early October when Frank McClanahan and Pauline Beard will be presenting the ideas to the Board. Susan Schwartz our fearless AGM leader will be in Tuscany...but I am sure will have some fun there too...! If you would like to join one of our 12 planning committees and/or volunteer to help out in any capacity at the Portland AGM, please contact Frank, Pauline or SusaN.
