Daughters of Mary Upcoming Events

Baking Party: Thursday, October 5
Come have some fun with the Daughters of Mary! We will be staked out in the new, spacious, wonderful kitchen at the DSPT from 4-7, baking up a storm (and some brownies) for Friday’s bake sale to raise money to purchase a statue of the Blessed Mother for our new chapel. We will have basic ingredients and a selection of recipes to work on, but it would be great if people brought their own favorite recipes as well. (You’ll probably need to bring any special ingredients you need.) So come and do your own thing with some company, help out with baking projects already underway or just hang out and lick the bowls afterwards and help DJ the baking party. Come for all of that time or drop in on your way to/from class.

Bake Sale: Friday, October 6
The Daughters of Mary will kick off their fundraising efforts to purchase a statue of the Blessed Mother for our new chapel this Friday. Baked goods to be sold or help manning the sale would be appreciated. Or, better yet, come hungry to class on Friday and buy lots of baked goods. And then buy some more to give as gifts. And then buy some more because you really want that statue. And thanks to everyone for past support: Our bake sale last May was a huge success—we made more than enough money to fund this year’s May crowning.

Films with Style: Sofia Coppola
This semester we’re planning on indulging our girly, but aesthetically sophisticated, tastes by watching “Films with Style.” We’re starting on Friday, October 13th at 7pm with Sofia Coppola’s first two films, The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation. Not only does the girl have a great eye, but she’s a master of the story of young women finding themselves and their way in the world. Then, we’ll try and organize a time the next weekend to see the release of her new film, Marie Antoinette. Keep your eyes out for November when we hit the Wes Anderson libraries. Boys are welcome, but there will be giggling.

Really cool people will definitely be there. Sadly, I have to work all those days except for tomorrow for the bake sale. So I'll be buying baked goods in support of the Daughters of Mary! :)

Sophia has been a crush of mine for awhile - since I saw her interviewed on Charlie Rose. And her family combines religion, films, and fine wine - now that's a 21st century daughter of Mary.
