Dinner 5:00 pm in the Faculty Room at the Club
Dennis James Show 7:30 pm at the IU Auditorium Make your Halloween come alive with one of the most unique theatrical events at IU Auditorium as Dennis James provides live accompaniment to the playfully spooky 1925 silent film; The Phantom of the Opera!
The Phantom of the Opera shadows a tragic love story that will enchant and haunt the heart. The film takes place in a Paris opera house, where a myste-rious phantom terrorizes its occupants. His lust for terror turns to a lust for love as he falls for the young Christine Daaé, a chorus girl. Forcing the prima donna Carlotta out of the limelight, he launches the stardom of his new affliction - wreaking havoc in hopes of winning Christine's affection.
Enjoy a spooky Halloween Dinner together, then we’ll walk over to the Auditorium to catch this one-of-a-kind Bloomington tradition!

This special holiday party will begin upstairs in the Faculty Room at 6 o’clock. Meet your friends and enjoy a variety of appetizers from around the world as pianist Neal Heidler plays a variety of holiday songs. The cash bar will feature international cocktails and your favorite libations. At 7 we move to the Presidents’ Room for a delicious inter-national dinner that includes wine! The evening’s program will feature a cast of characters played by international students and Father Christmas will be your master of cere-monies. Beloved European folk character La Befana will also join the festivities. No, Befana is not a witch. She visits children from Spain to Germany and fills their stockings with candy if they are good, or a lump of coal if they are bad! Sound familiar? Perhaps, but there is much more to the sad story of La Befana. Join us to learn the rest!

WINTER—MILWAUKEE TRAIL Sunday, January 24, 2016
Beginning near downtown Bedford, the Milwaukee Trail is one of Indiana's newer trails. Currently about 5
miles long, when completed it will stretch to 20 miles. This wide, crushed gravel path, follows an old railroad
bed along Spider Creek, as it winds through tall trees and limestone bluffs. It gives one the impression of be-
ing in deep woods. Because it is flat, even on a snowy day, it should be easy hiking.
LEAVE TIME: 1:30 p.m. from the Kroger (south), parking lot, at the corner of South Walnut & Rhorer Road,
near Wendy's
DISTANCE: 4 - 5 miles
HIKING TIME: About 3 hours
DIFFICULTY: Easy
