Oregon-SW Washington Region: Dual Jane

Dual Jane

Join the Oregon-Southwest Washington Region for "Dual Jane: Celebrating Jane Austen at 250 and ORSWWA at 40!" We'll host a combined celebration of Austen's 250th birthday and our region's 40th anniversary. 

Region co-founder Frank McClanahan will serve as master of ceremonies for a 40-year history of our region, including reminiscences from members and a look back at memorable events, including hosting the 2010 AGM. Afterward, Arnie Perlstein will share a history of JASNA and lead an interactive presentation on Austen scholarship.

The event is being funded by a generous donor, with free registration to all. Nonmembers of the region can request to attend by emailing the region with the subject line "birthday celebration."  

The afternoon will include a buffet potluck meal with birthday cake and a toast to Austen and our region. Bring a treat—savory, sweet or both—for the tea table. Hot tea, bottled water, and cranberry punch will be provided. Regency-themed costumes are encouraged but not required.
