Fall Meeting

“Come, friend Watson – the curtain rings up for the last act.”
— Sherlock Holmes, “The Adventure of the Second Stain”

You are cordially invited to the Fall 2007 meeting of The Amateur Mendicant Society of Detroit – a rare double bill that will feature a meal-and-meeting PLUS (if desired) an outing to Meadow Brook Theatre to see the play “Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure” by Stephen Dietz.

Based on plays by Arthur Conan Doyle and actor William Gillette, this classic mystery mixes Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, Irene Adler, Professor Moriarty AND a climax at the Reichenbach Falls – all on one stage!

Hello there. I hope this is an appropriate place to ask. I just discovered this blog while looking up Sherlock Holmes Societies in Michigan. I was wondering how one would go about joining this society?

Oh dear. I was told at another meeting that the deadline for the meeting and play was the 25th and upon checking this site for the address to send my check, I see that it was the 21st. Is everything finalized already? If so, I suppose I will have to cancel my check and buy my tickets to the play separately.
