  Sylvia's personal discovery of writings from authors in the Roman and Greek world led her to read as many of them as she could and eventually to write a book introducing a variety of them for interested readers. The writings range through biography, history, moral and religious essays, philosophy, satires, plays, poetry, cooking and architectural instruction, and Sylvia gleans advice from them in short blurbs. She will introduce a few highlighted authors and then go into more depth on one of her favorite Roman characters, Seneca, tutor to the infamous Nero.

  Dr. Sylvia Gray, recently retired, taught history (Western and Asian) at Portland Community College for thirty years, as well as Classical History at Marylhurst University for eight years. Her current projects include a book focused on the issues of part-time faculty in the community college (working title: Adjuntivitis) and performances with a trio, "The Classical Beauties & the Beast."

  Step back in time to the 1920s, when the music was big and the booze was illegal! There will be jazz music, light dining, and for those willing to bend the rules, for those who have the secret invite, a dancing show in our speakeasy soiree. Don your skirts that fall above your ankles, put on your best suits and biggest hats, and be prepared for a night of vices, history, and fun. 

  The Bootlegger's Ball is a fundraising event for the Oswego Heritage Council and the West Linn Historical Society. Donations will benefit both historical organizations. There will be a silent auction, wine wall, the optional speakeasy easy show which features burlesque-style professionals, and other opportunities to give. 

  Dressing up is encouraged!
