It’s almost March and that means Spring is coming, and so is America’s classic game—baseball. So leave winter behind and join the Friends of the Jonathan Clark House on Wednesday, March 4, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Concordia University Wisconsin Pharmacy Building, room 008, for a lively talk by Dr. Patrick W. Steele on the “History of Baseball in Wisconsin.”
Refreshments will be served and door prizes given. The event is free and open to the public, with a suggested $10 donation to the Friends of the Jonathan Clark House. An RSVP to jchmuseum@gmail.com will help us plan the event. Need more information? Contact Clark House director Nina Look at jchmuseum@gmail.com
