ANCA, the Arne Nixon Center Advocates, the support group for the Arne Nixon Center for the Study of Children's Literature at California State University, Fresno, invites everyone to its sixth annual Secret Garden Party on Sunday, April 20th, from 3 to 5 p.m. The party will be held in a beautiful north Fresno garden, full of shady paths and secret hideaways. The exact location will be revealed to underwriters and ticket holders upon registration. This year's party honors author, librarian, and Booklist columnist Michael Cart, who is a major donor to the Arne Nixon Center and a founding member of its Governing Committee. The party theme, "Passions and Pleasures," is taken from Cart's latest book, Passions and Pleasures: Essays and Speeches about Literature and Libraries.

 

Michael Cart is the country's foremost expert on young adult literature, so it is fitting that this year's entertainment features a group of talented young people-members of the Junior Company of Roger Rocka's Dinner Theatre. The Garden Party will raise funds to buy special rare materials, including five original illustrations by the Caldecott-winning artist, Leonard Weisgard, for his 1949 edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

 

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.
