Midnight Mascarade Murder Mystery Dinner
Midnight Mascarade Murder Mystery Dinner
Description of the Murder Mystery. The rustle of silks and feathers under muted conversation was probably the last thing heard by the tragically and unexpectedly deceased at the Billionaires’ Club Annual Masquerade Ball. With a mystery under each feathery façade, unmasking the killer may be quite a challenge. It’s up to you to determine which partygoer is guilty, bring this crime to justice, and save the party! Attend the Billionaires’ Club Annual Masquerade Ball and help get this soiree back on track by trading clues with your guests, gathering information, and solving the crime before the masked menace gets away! Evening wear, beautiful costumes, Venetian masks, suits, and suits are what to wear to this high class night of masks and murder. Get ready for a glamorous evening of mystery, intrigue, and murder at this masquerade ball murder mystery party! The Mathis House staff will all participate in costume. Dinner includes a seasonal salad, chicken Francese, penne vodka, sausage and peppers, roasted vegetables, warm dinner rolls and dessert. Coffee, tea or soda included. The tickets are $75 per person plus tax and gratuity, call 732-818-7580 to make your reservation. Cancellation policy for all pre paid events is a two year […]

Ancient Wisdom Shamanic Journey Group
Ancient Wisdom Shamanic Journey Group
COMMUNING WITH THE ANCESTORS The veil between the world grows thin at this time of year. It's a good time to honor our ancestors and seek their guidance. We will explore the Middle World, also called the Astral Plane. The Astral Plane is a reflection of the physical plane. This is where we meet those who have walked the earth before (and after) us as time doesn't exist in the way the physical world understands it. Time is rather a river without banks. Let's visit with our ancestors and discuss how miracles come to be. Pre-registation is required for planning purposes. https://bookme.name/mindbodyspirithome/ancient-wisdom
