The Muscarelle Museum hosted author Ray Evans at an event to benefit the Arc of Greater Williamsburg. 

The museum provided a wonderful venue for this VIP event. The evening began with a 30 minute multi media presentation about the British Government’s “Operation Pied Piper”. This incredible program orchestrated the evacuation of over 3 million children from cities and know Luftwaffe targets to the countryside, in an effort to provide safe haven from the bombing raids during World War II. The presentation was followed by a question and answer session with evacuee and author of Before the Last All Clear, Ray Evans and a social reception.

The evening was a great success raising funds for The Arc-GW thanks to the efforts of Arc staff Pamela McGregor, Darla Krupski and Bette-Faye Poythress-King along with the staff and support of the Muscarelle Museum.

The Arc-GW provides programs for adults with intellectual disabilities, while also providing support and respite for their families. The objective of the vent was to raise funds and awareness for the Arc’s Literature and the Arts Class. Please visit their website at www.thearcgw.org to learn more, volunteer or to offer your personal support.
