Los Angeles Lunch/Book Signing/J-N Birthday Bash! June 27, 2010

Join us to celebrate the June birthdays of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy! The event includes a luncheon, book signing with Sharon Rich and K.T. Ernshaw (Nelson Eddy's longtime confidante, health permitting), possible other celebrity guests, a film clip program and memorabilia sale!

You can purchase as many tickets as you like online for our Los Angeles June Meeting!  Simply print a copy of your purchase receipt and bring it to the luncheon for check-in. You will receive an email confirmation of your purchase.

Note: purchasing a ticket for this event also entitles you to join us the day before (Saturday, June 26) for a driving tour of the homes of Nelson and Jeanette thorughout the Los Angeles area. We will drive from Beverly Hills west to Nelson's beach house that he bought for his mother after his marriage to Ann Franklin. We will also see "Mists," his hideaway home with Jeanette. When you purchase your ticket(s) please note whether you want to join us on the driving tour and whether you will have a car.
