This month: The Spinner Family by Alice Jean Patterson (1904)
All of Nature’s children are interesting, whether rock or stream, herb or tree, bird or insect or other animal, and the spiders are by no means the least interesting among them all. Nowhere will the student and lover of nature find a more profitable study or a keener joy than in delving into the secrets of the spinners, or watching them solve the problems which they meet in their struggle for existence.

This month Campward Ho!
Tuesday, March 20, 2018, 7pm, at The Tank, NYC
Someone has said, “We camp to live with Nature.” If living is knowing, let us then while we camp, learn to know the great out-of-doors, and at the same time take advantage of being together, and learn to live as Scouts. The information given is the result of experience gained not only as a camp Director and a housekeeper, but as a co-worker with hundreds of Scouts whose needs are very real.
Featuring:
Nick Balaban (Blues Clues / Musician around town)
Ellia Bisker (Charming Disaster / Sweet Soubrette)
Debra Castellano (CitizenDeb.com / Waste Management: The Show)
Susan Hwang (The Bushwick Book Club / Lusterlit)
Charlie Nieland (Lusterlit)

This month: Masterpieces in Colour: Bastien Lepage (1911)
“There are certain beings who bear the stamp of the divine seal and are preordained to receive the higest favours within the gift of glory; they are fated to pass through life like those brilliant meteors which are seen to flash across the heavens and disappear in the same instant. Bastien-Lepage was one of those meteors.”
