She recently filmed a movie with Woody Allen—“Bop Decameron,” soon to be available in theatres.

From little girl to grown-up film star, for six lucky people, Greta is offering lunch and some time to ask all those questions you want about what life is like in the film world of fame.

Scheduling for Greta’s lunch will coincide with her holiday vacations home—December 27 to 29, 2011. So get your bid cards ready and raise some money for UUSS.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Art Experience for Two Do you hate abstract art? Want to give it a chance anyway? Or do you love it? Crocker
Art Museum offers a unique art experience on Saturday, November 19, noon-3 pm.
Meet me first in the Crocker Cafe for brunch at 11, then go with a small group of others
to look at abstract expressionist works in the galleries. Thus inspired by the art and
museum staff, you will then go to the museum's studios for your own painting session.
(Bring a smock or wear something that might already have paint on it).  All expenses
paid--cafe, art experience, materials. I'll even reimburse your parking cost.
