In June we celebrate the birthdays of both Jeanette MacDonald (June 18) and Nelson Eddy (June 29). Join us in Los Angeles the last weekend of the month for a two-day event:

1. Saturday, June 26: a driving tour through the Beverly Hills area of the many homes owned by Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald. This tour will driving by most of their homes in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, the beach house Nelson bought for his mother (and stayed at himself) and – Mists, the hideaway home Nelson had with Jeanette! There is no extra charge for Saturday’s tour but we will need to coordinate with people and cars. After you get your tickets for the Sunday luncheon, you’ll be provided you with all the details.

2. Sunday, June 27, 2010: 12 noon at Sportsmans’ Lodge HOTEL located at the corner of Ventura Blvd. and Coldwater Canyon in Studio City. (Take the Coldwater Canyon exit on the 101 Freeway.) $45/person includes luncheon and program. Meeting runs from 12-4 pm. We will be showing rare film clips, have a book signing, Q&A session and more! One of the highlights of the event will be the surprising results of some recent detective work! By the way, if you are coming from out-of-town, you can stay right there in the hotel; call 800-821-8511 for reservations. More details at the ticket link below:
