Save the Date: Autumn Meeting

The Adventuresses of
Sherlock Holmes

Request the Pleasure of Your Company at the Annual Autumn Meeting

We will be meeting on Sunday, November 21st at 1pm via zoom.

Though we miss the special camaraderie of in-person meetings,
we’ve rejoiced in the virtual presence of far-off friends at ASH’s previous remote meetings.
We look forward to being with you again in this special way, first with our program and then in chat rooms. 
Please mark this date on your calendar, and watch for details in your in-box as we get closer to the date.

ASH Spring Luncheon 2021

The Adventuresses of
Sherlock Holmes

Request the Pleasure of Your Company at the Annual Spring Meeting

We’ll be meeting again virtually, on Zoom, starting at 1pm (Eastern time) on Sunday, June 27th.  Last autumn’s initial Zoom meeting went well, thanks to some excellent speakers and toasters and the online support of Greg Ruby with Steve Mason – and we’re optimistic about doing it again.  Whereas last time was entirely a webinar, Greg is arranging for us to add chat rooms so that there can be real on-screen meetings among those attending. 

As before, you won’t have to sign up for a Zoom account in order to join us.  So please put it on your calendar, and watch for details in your in-box as we get closer to the date. One thing that it’s never too early for: volunteering to be on the program or give a toast!  I‘d love to hear from you. 

My best wishes to you and yours for good health and comradeship across the miles in this cautiously hopeful time,
Evy

Spring 2020 Luncheon Cancelled

It is with significant regret that due to the coronavirus/COVID-19 crisis, the Spring 2020 Luncheon of The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes has been cancelled. We all send one another love and encouragement, and look forward to this autumn’s gathering.

Birthday Weekend ASH Wednesday – 15 January 2020

Dear ASH and Friends, 
Looking ahead past the sacred and secular holidays to our Sherlockian festivities, this is to advise you that the Adventuresses will again usher in the Birthday Weekend with an informal gathering on Wednesday, January 15, 2020, and to invite you to join us there. We will gather for this special “ASH Wednesday” at 6:30 pm at our customary locale: 

Annie Moore’s
22 East 41st St.
(between Madison and Fifth Aves.)
New York City
(212) 986-7826

We meet upstairs: the stairway is located at the end of the bar.                        

If you cannot manage stairs, the manager can direct you to the elevator.This will be a happy occasion to meet with (and eat with and drink with) kindred spirits from around the globe.  As usual, there is no set charge – we each pay for what we consume (plus tax and tip, of course).

If you can attend, please advise either me (at herzogbaesch@aol.com) or Susan Rice (at susan221bee@gmail.com).  All are welcome: we just need to have a good idea of how many to expect so there can be enough places set to accommodate the throng.

Now, IF you’ve already informed me or Susan that you’re coming, you DON’T have to do so again – for you this message is just a confirmation of the time and place.
The Compliments of the Season!

Memorial Gathering for Susan Diamond

Dear friends:

Allan Devitt sends his continued thanks to all of you for your good wishes and expressions of sympathy. Allan has now made plans for a gathering to remember and celebrate Susan’s life.  

Susan would have turned 70 in mid-August and the gathering will be held on Sunday, August 18th in their hometown of Bensenville, IL.  

There will be a midday memorial service at their well-loved Bensenville Community Public Library and then a dinner at the nearby American Legion.  

In the future Allan will pass along hotel suggestions and, for those who arrive on the Saturday, Allan would be glad to arrange an informal local get-together for that evening if you’d let him know you’ll be there then. 

You are welcome to phone Allan – their home phone (630) 227-9127 is the best, but his cell (630) 247-8203 is also fine (Allan is not on e-mail, so if you need to contact him, please call at the numbers listed above).
