Upcoming Events

In March we start thinking about Spring - and spring means baseball!

But during World War II, the face of baseball changed. An all-female baseball league was formed in the Midwest due to the shortage of male players who were drafted or enlisted to serve their country. A League of Their Own is based on the true story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and follows competitive sisters Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) and Kit Keller (Lori Petty) as they spar with each other and scout Ernie Capadino (Jon Lovitz) and their grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) on their way to fame.

Joining the ladies will be past parishioners who have gathered to share hot-dishes, desserts, and stories from the last 100 years. As the women work in the kitchen, shared memories burst into life through a series of flashbacks. Travel back to 1897 and meet Vivian’s grandmother; see Karin as a newlywed cautiously navigating the politics of the kitchen; and be there in 1944 when Mavis first barreled her way through the door.

Before enjoying the matinee performance, there will be time to visit the unique Fireside shops and have lunch. Entree choices are: Braised Pork Belly - cooked low and slow in soy sauce and brown sugar served with pan sauce - or - Supreme Cut Chicken Breast - seasoned with lemon pepper - or - Thai Grilled Shrimp - Grilled skewered shrimp, onions, bell peppers, and pineapple marinated in lemongrass, sweet chili, and garlic served with an apricot lemongrass chutney.

All entrees include fried rice and honey glazed carrots. The meal begins with Asian Salad and freshly baked breads from Fireside’s Artisan Bakery, then finished off with Lemon Chess Pie topped with whipped cream and diced strawberry coulis. Coffee, tea, and milk are included. Cash bar available for all other drinks.

Good Life Club will host a gathering at Brooklife Church in Mukwonago on the second Tuesday of every other month from 10:00AM - 11:30AM. Tuesday Talks will bring in a speaker - or two - to present various topics of interest. Or, we may just have a fun activity. The talks will be free of charge and open to members and their guests. Registration is necessary, however, due to space availability.
