Friday, April 6, 2018
7:00 PM: St. Louis Art Museum, FREE Special Exhibit: "Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds"
(This event was originally added to attract out-of-towners to our one-day RG. I have 18 passes and ten of these have already been spoken for. Email me if would like to attend, but I will try my best to accommodate all out-of-town visitors.) We will meet at the Drury Inn and Suites at the corner of Eager Rd. and Brentwood Blvd in Brentwood , about 1/2 mile north of the RG site, Brentwood Community Center, (where we have our monthly meetings), at 6:00 pm; or you can meet us at the Art Museum itself sometime before 7:00, which is our admission time to the exhibit. But you must make reservations with me first and I will respond. Afterwards we will have dinner at one of the restaurants at Laclede's Landing
