Kid's Book Trade

Saturday, March 3, 10:00-11:00

This is a wonderful opportunity for Moms, Dads and thier children to bring in kids books and trade them with other children. For ages preschool to high school. This is a great chance to find a new favorite book while getting rid of some of your old books already read. There will be table and floor areas to display books, and your child will have the chance to share their knowledge of a favorite story, subject or author with other kids. Kindly limit bringing in no more than 10 books in hopes that someone else will be interested in trading. We do request that books not traded be brought back home. Please choose one book to donate for the needy. There will be a scavenger hunt, too! Refreshments will be served.

The Unsinkable Molly Brown

Sunday April 15, 2:00pm

2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the most famous shipwreck of the 20th century. In commemoration of the sinking of the RMS Titantic the Yardley Historical Association and the Lower Makefield Historical Society invite you to a special performace given by Melissa Rabinsky who will portray Molly Brown.  Margaret (Molly) Brown was an American socialite, philanthropist, and activist who became famous due to her involvement with the tragedy and after exhorting the crew of lifeboat 6 to return to look for survivors. When newspapers later learned of Brown's courageous actions, they promptly dubbed her "the unsinkable Mrs. Brown" and she became an international heroine. Kathy Bates introduced us to Molly Brown through her applauded performance in the 1995 Movie Titanic. Free program and family friendly. Contact Joyce Anderson with questions at 215-499-9469.
