March 2024 Calendar of Events

Sunday, March 10^th, 1:00 p.m., Little Shop of Horrors at PCC Sylvania Performing Arts Center.   Tickets for seniors and PCC staff (including retirees) are $10 available on the website or at the door.  It is ‘open seating’ so we will gather in the lobby before the show to take our seats as a group.

Not familiar with the play? Here’s the synopsis:  Little Shop of Horrors is a horror comedy rock musical that follows a hapless florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood and flesh. The musical is loosely based on the low-budget 1960 film of the same title. The music is in the style of early 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop, and early Motown, and includes several well-known tunes, including the title song, “Skid Row (Downtown)”, “Somewhere That’s Green”, and “Suddenly, Seymour”. Let the mayhem begin!

Wednesday, March 13^th, 1:00 p.m. Happy Lunch – Radio Room.  We’re checking out a new location once again.  Tagged as “Alberta’s living room’ and self-styled as “Portland’s Classic Mid-Century Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge”, we’ve heard good things about this eatery.  Located in the Alberta District at 1101 NE Alberta Street.  RSVP via email or comment below by Monday, March 11^th so that we can reserve a table. 

Wednesday, March 27^th, 11:30 a.m. Pinot & Prose Book Club discussion session on our March selection:  In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer by Irene Gut-Opdyke and Jennifer Armstrong.  Although originally published in 1999, copies are available through public libraries or Amazon in multiple formats.  This first-hand account of the Holocaust was named “A Book Sense Top Ten Pick”, “A Publishers’ Weekly Best Book of the Year” and, “A Booklist Editor’s Choice” and is the inspiration for the movie version being released nationwide in April.  (We will be planning an out to see the movie too.)  At Walter Mitty’s Restaurant, no RSVP required.

For those of you who like to know what we’re reading in coming months, the link above will take you to the web page posting for the next three months.

Wednesday, March 27^th, 1:00 p.m. Monthly Planning session.  Following the book club discussion and lunch, we will convene to work on planning future events for the coming months.  Want to suggest a restaurant near you for a Happy Lunch?  Come tell us about it.  Also at Walter Mitty’s Restaurant, come join us!
