SECRET GARDEN PARTY APRIL 15

 

            ANCA, the Arne Nixon Center Advocates, the support group of the Arne Nixon Center for the Study of Children's Literature at California State University, Fresno, invites everyone to the Center's fifth annual Secret Garden Party, Sunday, April 15, from 3 to 5 p.m. The party will be held in a beautiful Tuscan garden nestled in the Sierra foothills just outside Fresno, with the exact location to be revealed to underwriters and ticket holders upon registration. This year's theme is the art of the late Leo Politi. This Fresno-born, Caldecott-winning author/artist was a close friend of Arne Nixon's. The Garden Party will raise funds to create a Leo Politi garden outside the new Madden Library which is now under construction. Leo Politi's son and daughter, Paul Leo Politi and Suzann Politi Bischof, will speak at the party as will Politi's biographer, Ann Stalcup, author of Leo Politi: Artist of the Angels.

 

            Underwriters are needed; they will receive tickets to the party and acknowledgements in promotional materials. The $1,000 Sponsor fee includes eight tickets; Patrons, for a $500 fee, get six tickets; Contributors, for $250, receive four tickets. Individual tickets are also available for $50. The garden party is ANCA's major annual fundraising event; all profits benefit the Arne Nixon Center.
