September 1945 marked the end of WWII. Enjoy the exuberance of the year through a musical performance by the Theatre Troupe 1776. It’s all part of a fundraiser for the Mandarin Community Club on Saturday, September 14. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the show begins at 7 pm. Coffee and desserts are part of the evening. A wine bar canteen offers libations with a donation suggested.
The "1945 Cabaret" will revive memories for a few and introduce the younger crowd to some of the nation’s finest song writers and composers. Stories of 1940’s North Florida are part of the performance. “This event is more than a show with song and dance. It’s also a look at the history of this important era. We want to honor veterans and families who lived through the 40’s,” said Troupe Director Patty Everett, also a Mandarin Community Club Board member. “Our Theatre Troup 1776 is about mixing history and theater together. We include actors of all ages. This show is ideal for any age audience. It’s family show.” World War II began 85 years ago this September when Germany invaded Poland. Two years later, on December 8, Congress voted to declare war on Japan, after Japan’s December 7 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The U.S. was then drawn into the global conflict which lasted until September 1945. It was a time like no other. Reserve your tickets here for $19.45 per person. Place the evening of September 14 on your calendar now! Members are invited to join us for the Harriet Beecher Stowe Pavilion dedication with a "Picnic at the Pavilion" on Saturday, June 1st, at 11:30 am. This event is a free and exclusive event for our members. Members - please RSVP (see flyer details below) by May 25th.
The Mandarin Community Club will once again host a Flag Retirement ceremony with SAR (Sons of the American Revolution) along with members of DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) on Sunday, February 18th at 3 pm.
The partnership between the organizations began years ago as a way to ensure that American flags were collected and properly retired with respect. SAR presents a unique and moving educational program that traces the origin of the American flag from its earliest days to the present. SAR takes hundreds of flags that the Community Club collects throughout the year at a collection box at their site on Mandarin Road that was designed, constructed and installed by Eagle Scout Patrick Setzer. Flags that are worn, tattered or damaged should not be flown and should be properly retired. The public is invited to attend and witness this solemn ceremony and share in this patriotic duty of the retirement of many U.S. flags. The Billard Commemorative Park, on the grounds of the Mandarin Community Club, is desperately in need of some TLC. Three-work days have been arranged: Saturday, January 20th and 27th and Wednesday, February 7th. Start times for all days will be 9 am. Grab your yard tools and come out and help make this area beautiful again. Only rain will keep us away. Please contact the Club by email or call 904-268-1622.
