We welcomed new guests, Jeff and Starr, who are new to Lewes, and trying the group. We also went around and introduced ourselves, as there are many new faces.
We watched the film "Mississippi Burning" (1988) at the Cinema Arts Theater (CAT).
This screening and discussion was our tribute to the memory of Gene Hackman after his recent passing. It is a powerful movie and, for some, a disturbing movie. While not one of the first films people will think of in Hackman's filmography, it was a great Oscar-nominated performance.
We used club funds from membership dues to rent the JEMS theater for our private use.
Thanks to Dave, the new CAT Executive Director, for allowing us to stay a bit longer for a brief discussion afterward.
Our June 3 movie is "Shortcomings" (2023), available on all major streaming platforms.
The discussion will be led by Dave and the meeting is at 5:45 at George H.P. Smith park in the pavilion.
As usual for our summer outdoor meetings, you are invited to bring your own dinner/snacks for a "picnic style" meeting
As the meeting date approaches, we will be checking the forecast for inclement weather that could prevent us from meeting at the park. Any last-minute venue changes will be communicated via email and website.
We need a leader and a movie for the July 8 meeting.
Please come with ideas and be willing to lead the July or any future movie discussion.
