The First Annual Findlay Fall Formal is the first, community-wide, formal dance hosted by the Black Heritage Library since COVID. The event is meant to be a tie/dress formal with a live band, finger foods provided by Circle of Friends and Mon Coeur Bakery, as well as a cash bar provided by MCPA. We will have the 1st floor lobby as our dance floor, the 2nd floor will be for bidding on silent auction prizes, drinks, foods and space to listen to the musicians, and the 3rd floor will be a quieter spot to look at art, take dance night photos at our photo booth, and talk. We will have a 50/50 raffle, door prizes for BHL&MC members, silent auctions on donated community prizes, and opportunities to become new members of the BHL&MC.

The Six Triple Eight (2hrs) is inspired by the first and only Women's Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism -- and grueling working conditions -- they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.  Eight hundred and fifty-five join the war effort to address a three-year mail backlog. Despite discrimination and war-torn conditions, they sort over seventeen million pieces of mail ahead of schedule. The historic Six Triple Eight – also known as the U.S. Army's 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion- is the largest group of Black servicewomen to serve overseas during World War II. These remarkable women shattered barriers and played a pivotal role in ensuring that mail reached our American troops. Written & Directed by Tyler Perry.
