LIBRARY: FUNDRAISING DVD SHOW: On Wednesday, 29 October at 6:00 pm at Kilberry Terrace, we will show “The Grand Budapest Hotel” which recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune - all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. Starring Ralph Fiennes, the film won the David di Donatello Award for Best Foreign Film in 2014. 2 MOVIE MEMORIES: CALAMITY JANE – Monday, 27 October at 9:30 am Doris Day and Howard Keel, fuss, feud and fall in love as Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hikock in this great musical block-buster of a show. At first curvaceous Calamity is too darned busy fighting Indians and cracking a bullwhip to mind to such girlie whatalls as dresses and perfume. And Wild Bill is too danged busy wooing a dainty chanteuse to give a hoot about a hot-headed tomboy. But things change in a rootin’, tootin’, big way when each becomes love’s target. There are wide-open scenic Technicolour spaces, lots of high-stepping dances and a hummable humdinger of a score by Academy Award-winning song writers Sammy Fain and Paul Webster who won their first Oscar for the 1950s classical megahit ballad Secret Love in this picture. All Villagers are welcome to MOVIE MEMORIES film shows every Monday morning in Kilberry Terrace at 9:30 am. Come and join us there. MUSIC SOCIETY: Our next concert on Sunday, 2 November at 4:00 pm in Talani, will be given by Robert de Vries (flute), accompanied on the piano by Tertia VisserDowney.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Psalm 113 verses 3-6 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations, and His glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, who dwells on high, who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! 4
