A Fundraiser for
The Northern California Chapter
of the American Research Center in Egypt

Sunday, May 26th, 2013, 2 to 5 PM
Imagine Affairs Art Lounge
408 14th Street, Oakland

Step into the past with THE Lady of Mystery,
Agatha Christie. We will explore the Egypt of the
1920s and 1930s as well as travel back in time to
the 12th Dynasty and the Court of Akhenaten as
seen through the eyes of Agatha Christie. Christie
was active in archaeology with her husband Max
Mallowan in Syria and Mesopotamia and friends with
such eminent Egyptologists as James Henry
Breasted, Howard Carter, Stephen Glanville, and
I.E.S. Edwards. After a brief look at her career
and Egyptian novels and play, we will enjoy one of
her lesser tales of curses and murder at an
Egyptian dig at Giza.

This will be followed by a Cataract Hotel style
High Tea (please see the menu below). Cost of
this event will be $35.00 per person, $20.00 for
students. This includes a donation to the
Chapter's lecture series and student outreach
programs. This event must be advance sales to
ensure adequate refreshments for the tea. This
event is subject to cancellation if adequate
numbers for the tea are not met; a full refund
will be made if the event is cancelled.

Deadline to reserve for this event is
Wednesday, May 22, 2013.
