FAQs about Bus Trips
 How do I sign up for a bus trip? By calling the main Transportation line, 978-4028133. Some trips fill up quickly, so call promptly when you see a bus trip that interests
you.
 What if I sign up but then have to cancel? Residents who cancel a trip on the day of
the trip will be charged 50% of the bus fee. If applicable, residents will be charged
100% of a ticket fee if purchased in advance by Newbury Court. These fees will be
charged directly to your account. Please try to cancel trips well in advance so that
residents on waiting lists can be notified appropriately. To cancel, be sure to once
again call Transportation in order to be taken off the trip list.
 May I bring a guest? If you wish to invite a guest purely for the company, be aware
that seats will be given to Newbury Court residents first, and only if there is room and no
waiting list will a guest be given a seat. However, if you require a companion to assist
you that person can be given a seat at the time you reserve yours, depending on
availability.
 Will you collect the bus fee at the time of the trip? All bus fees are charged directly
to your account at the end of the month. Note that the bus fee (if any) is listed at the end
of the trip description. Admission fees may be collected before or on the day of the trip;
please read the specific trip description carefully for clarification.

Friday, March 24, 4:00 PM A Fine Romance: The Songs of Jerome Kern Performed
by Will McMillan and Joe Reid, Morrison Theatre. Jerome David Kern left a legacy of
over seven hundred songs written for more than one hundred stage productions and
Hollywood films. His best-known work, Show Boat, broke new ground in 1927 with its
realistic characters, controversial subject matter, and dramatically integrated songs.
Never before had issues of miscegenation, wife desertion, alcoholism, and gambling
been the subject of a hit musical — one which continues to be revived to this day.
Kern collaborated with many great lyricists including Oscar Hammerstein II, Johnny
Mercer, P. G. Wodehouse, E.Y. (“Yip”) Harburg, Ira Gershwin, Jimmy McHugh, and
Dorothy Fields and his songs won the Academy Award for Best Song in a Motion
Picture twice. Singer Will McMillan and pianist Joe Reid find great pleasure in
performing Kern classics including "Pick Yourself Up," "I Won’t Dance," "Smoke Gets In
Your Eyes," "The Song Is You “Ol’ Man River,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” “Bill,” "I’m
Old Fashioned," and “Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man."

Beginning on Friday March 3, the Spiritual Life Department at Newbury Court will offer a

“To Serve and Guard the Earth connects the growing Christian environmental concern
with the theology of creation in Genesis. It not only provides participants with a greater
understanding of the scriptural accounts of creation and the environmental problems
facing us today, but also encourages the participants to make practical applications to
change their everyday lives and enhance important environmental values.” The bible
study will meet from 1:30 - 2:30 PM in the Chapel on: Friday March 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 &

Friday, March 3, 3:00 PM
No Women’s History Group this week
Saturday, March 4, 2:00 PM Great Courses Video Lecture Series: Masterworks of
American Art, Morrison Theatre.
A nation's identity is expressed through its art. Great painters capture the essence of a
culture's brightest hopes, deepest anxieties, and most profound aspirations. They
provide an aesthetic road map to a nation's history, recording the lives of its citizens and
reflecting the personality of an entire people.
But all too often, Americans themselves are unfamiliar with the great artistic legacy of
their own country. Many of us study the great artists of Europe—Leonardo and Rubens,
Degas and Monet—but neglect the remarkable painters of our own national tradition.
Your guide is Professor William Kloss. A noted scholar and art historian, Professor
Kloss has taught more than 100 courses as an independent lecturer for the Smithsonian
Institution's seminar and travel program. Through 24 engaging and informative lectures,
he shares his deep passion for the art of this nation while offering remarkable insights
into the relationship between America's history and its art.
