• It's time to start thinking about your Dar birthday projects. Each year, Dar fans choose to do a community service project in honour of Dar's birthday (April 19, 1967).  Then we write up a paragraph summarizing what we did and wishing Dar a happy birthday.  Sally Green compiles these paragraphs into a packet or booklet, and we send them off to Dar.  I also post them on the web. For more information click here.

They're auctioning off tickets to join Dar for dessert at a gathering (at a private location in northern Virginia) after the show at the Birchmere on March 26th. the proceeds of the Mar. 27th show at the Birchmere are going to Horizons, a theatre company which comes from a 'women's perspective.' Bidding opens at midnight on February 14 and closes at midnight on March 14. The six top bidders will be contacted by telephone on March 16. The bids will open at $100.  Go to Horizons for more information and to bid.
