January Pot Luck Dinner Meeting with an in club presentation of
the Year in Review as DVD slide show. this is not a lecture, it is a spirited
and exciting showcase of things we have done. Some of the Juniors events will
be included also. Hanson Garden Club will be our guests. We cannot bring
guests to this meeting, there is no extra room. Hanson GC will begin
with a half hour presentation of what their club has accomplished
followed by our presentation of 28 minutes for a total of one hour. Mary Koch
is working hard to get this organized, she and Gina Kmito are coordinating
hospitality leadership. Mary is a fairly new member so please show your
appreciation to her on Tuesday.
Everyone brings an appetizer, side dish, salad, or
main dish. If you have a hardship call Mary Koch and see how you can help in
another way. Mary has four children so if you can't reach her try Gina Kmito. The
committee brings the desserts. If you want wine you can bring your
own. We do not supply wine. Many other beverages will be offered by the
committee.
Mary Koch has the food sign ups, if you forgot what you
signed up to bring please call her at 781-681-9183. We were lacking in the
main dish category at the Tea Party so if you can help in that area please do
so. Since we will be having 25-30 guests we need to make sure to be
prepared.

GARDNER MUSEUM LECTURE OPPORTUNITY
Saturday, January 13, 2007 at 1:30pm Dr. Hardie will delve into the influence of traditional belief systems such as folk religion, Taoism, and Confucianism, and particularly of traditional cosmology, on classical Chinese garden design. In China, the layout and design of gardens reflected ideas about the structure of the cosmos, and how different types of gardens – imperial, private or religious – embodied different philosophical ideas. Gardens could be sites for religious practice or self-cultivation in withdrawal from society, but could also be used to represent social engagement and advertise the owner’s charitable activities. In the Chinese context, a particularly important function of the private garden was also to re-present, re-enact and thus commemorate revered cultural events of the past. Alison Hardie is a Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Leeds. Her research interests include the social history of Chinese gardens in the early modern period. In addition to her scholarly work, Dr Hardie is involved in introducing Chinese garden culture to a wider audience with her widely read translation of Ji Cheng’s Yuanye and her revised and updated 3rd edition of Maggie Keswick’s important book, The Chinese Garden: History, Art and Architecture. Tickets (includes museum admission): $15 General Public; $12
