in the IL Dining Room

Join us at 11:00 a.m. in the IL dining room for a very special performance as we welcome back

to Oak Grove Inn, The Birmingham Harmony Belles! They were formed in 2013 when

asked to provide entertainment for an event at Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church. It

was so well received that they decided to keep the act going.

The trio performs an “Andrews Sisters” type show singing music primarily from the Big Band

and Swing era of the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s. They also feature a medley of patriotic songs in

many of their performances.

The singers are Kiley Watson, Louisa Elmore, and Nan Hastings Hornsby. Their

accompanist is Karen Krekelberg who is also the Associate Director of Music Ministries and

Organist at Vestavia Hill U.M.C. YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THEM!

AN OAK GROVE INN MOVIE MATINEE

“A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD”

Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN

THE NEIGHBORHOOD, a timely story of kindness triumphing

over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life

friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod.

After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy winner Matthew

Rhys) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his

skepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and

decency from America's most beloved neighbor.

*FYI: March 20th is, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor Day”. It is

the birth anniversary of Fred McFeely Rogers aka Mister

Rogers, 1928 – 2003.

Trip Scheduled for

Monday,

March 9th

TO THE CHANTILLY 13 MOVIE THEATER TO SEE.........

“THE CALL OF THE WILD”

Rated PG - Drama/Family Movie Length: 1 hr 40 min Tickets: $4.00 / person *We have selected Thursday, March 5th to see this movie for the 12:45 showing. Please be ready to leave by 12:30. **Please remember to sign-up. We must have a minimum of 5 people to go.

The Times of Your Life!.....

We want to celebrate with you as you have those “Proud” moments in your life! If you would like to share with everyone some of those moments that are occurring (i.e.; special recognitions or awards, anniversaries, weddings, new babies in the family) please contact Chris by the 15th of each month to submit your information or announcement.

WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND ABOUT YOU!

Adapted from the beloved literary classic, THE CALL OF THE WILD vividly brings to the screen the story of Buck, a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life is turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Alaskan Yukon during the Gold Rush of the 1890s. As the newest rookie on a mail delivery dog sled team--and later its leader--Buck experiences the adventure of a lifetime, ultimately finding his true place in the world and becoming his own master. As a live-action/animation hybrid, THE CALL OF THE WILD employs cutting edge visual effects and animation technology in order to render the animals in the film as fully photorealistic--and emotionally authentic--characters.
