The Montville Senior Club dues are almost due for 2019!
Please consider paying your 2019 Senior Club dues to get ahead of the game. The Board voted to increase the dues to $10.00 this year. We would like to remind people that our CLUB dues have NEVER increased though the cost of supporting the Center and the responsibilities we have committed to, have. This is a minimal increase for an entire year’s membership and helps our senior center tremendously.

Lecture: Hollywood Goes to War
Join us on Tuesday, December 11th at 1:00pm as Jared Day, PhD presents Hollywood Goes to War. This lecture examines the exodus of talent from Europe to Hollywood that happened in the wake of Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and the earliest years of World War II. Many of the most famous figures in Hollywood history were desperate refugees fleeing Nazi persecution. Among those receiving special attention here include the likes of Fritz Lang, Ernst Lubitsch, and Billy Wilder as well as later stars who escaped (or not) the ravages of World War II, people such as Hedy Lamarr, Audrey Hepburn, and Leslie Caron. Jared Day, taught American history at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh for sixteen years. His areas of specialization are U.S. political, urban, and cultural history as well as world history from the late eighteenth century to the present. He is the author of several books along with numerous other popular and peer-reviewed articles.
