Martie Barthel reports:
“I am writing to invite you, one and all, to a Strollers Family Celebration. We have recently received news that we will be maintaining our relationship with the Bartell Theatre and this is cause for much joy and consumption of beer! We would like to toast the continuance of our organization and our dedication to continuing our tradition of excellent theatre within the Madison Community. Please join us at the Ale Asylum on Saturday, March 8, 2008 at 8:30 pm to raise our mugs and celebrate each other, the coming spring, baseball season and whatever! No need to RSVP, but hopefully you can make it.”
The email announcements may not have been complete, so if you are or know of a Stroller that hasn’t received the invite already pass it along and come join us.
Directions to Ale Asylum (3698 Kinsman Blvd, near the airport) are available online.
