Sixty years after fleeing Vienna, Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren), an elderly Jewish woman, attempts to reclaim family possessions that were seized by the Nazis. Among them is a famous portrait of Maria’s beloved Aunt Adele: Gustave Klimt’s “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I.” With the help of young lawyer Randy Schoeberg (Ryan Reynolds), Maria embarks upon a lengthy legal battle to recover this painting and several others, but it will not be easy, for Austria considers them national treasures.
Community Club
The April meeting of the Community Club proved to be an exciting event. The first draw for the cash prizes of the newly formed 100 Club took place. Everyone looked on in anticipation as the numbered balls were drawn from the raffle drum by members of the Community Club, overseen by Lynne Haslam who had instigated the fundraising 100 Club.
Members enjoyed a two course lunch, followed by a quiz, and a raffle with many prizes which included a surfeit of Easter eggs! All proceeds from the monthly raffles will be used to fund a coach trip to Stewart’s for Christmas shopping and a cream tea later in the year.
The next meeting of the Community Club will be held on FRIDAY, 20 May at 12.30. Tickets for the lunch at a cost of £7 can be purchased from the Centre Office from the beginning of the month or by phoning 023 80282267. Seats must be reserved by Tuesday, 18 May at the latest to assist with catering. All residents of Lyndhurst and its environs over the age of 60 will be warmly welcome.
