The Beatles lasted as a musical group for less than eight years. However, their influence went beyond the world of popular music and impacted Western culture, past the 1960s generation, in areas of fashion, popular culture, politics and entertainment. This presentation will provide a history of the group and examine how these four talented performers both influenced and were changed by their time. All You Need is Love… and to come to this presentation!

 

The White Star liner TITANIC was the largest ship in the world when she was commissioned in April 1912. On her maiden voyage she struck an iceberg in the mid-Atlantic and sank with the loss of 1,503 lives, the worst peacetime maritime disaster in all history. A hundred years later, TITANIC and her story still captures our hearts and minds. Fuel your imagination with this presentation, complete with pictures of the liner and the disaster. Don’t forget your life jacket!
