Thursday, September 10th, 6-8pm for our annual cocktail hour fund-raver event at the Crystal Ballroom.
Inspired by Somerville’s role as the site of the world’s first residential telephone call, and the Somerville Museum’s “Let Freedom Ring” public art project for America’s 250th, this year’s fundraising event celebrates connection between the past and the future and to one another!
Jimmy Tingle (pun intended) will entertain us with his comedy and emcee the program.
Sambaviva Brazilian dance ensemble will perform to a medley of telephone-themed favorites.
TJ the DJ will keep the music going throughout the evening.
Mix and mingle over passed appetizers while exploring interactive telephone exhibits!
PICK UP!
