Reserve Now Before Gatsby Celebration Sells Out!
Sign up now and receive a 50% discount on our April 10, 2025, 100th Anniversary Celebration of the publication of The Great Gatsby. All MWA chapter members will receive a $50 discount for themselves and $50 for one guest for this glittering 1920s-style party. Wear your favor flapper, tux, gangster, or straw boater and bowtie attire if you want a chance to win a $100 gift certificate for dinner at Elaine’s Mediterranean restaurant.
Enjoy famed NPR book reviewer Maureen Corrigan, a Georgetown University professor and expert on Gatsby, talk about what is considered by many as the best novel of the 20th Century. There will also be trivia, cocktails, book signings, and 1920s jazz. Pick up a copy of Corrigan’s book So We Read On: How the Great Gatsby Came to be and Why it Endures, and, of course, unique copies of The Great Gatsby as well.
The party starts at 6 p.m. and goes until 9 p.m. at Elaine’s on Queen Street in Old Town Alexandria. To sign up use the link in the member newsletter and apply discount code MWA2025 to receive $50 off each of your tickets. You must be a chapter member to receive the discount (but your guest does not). A couple will receive a total of $100 off for the event, which includes your meal and a free glass of champaign. (We will check to ensure at least one of you is a chapter member.) That’s dinner for two and a party for a total of $98 (tax and tip included). You can’t beat the price!
Or call (571) 970-0517 to make your reservation and save the $5 online reservation fee. (Be sure to identify yourself as a chapter member.)
This offer is exclusive to MWA-MA members for one week to assure you can reserve before the party is sold out. After that we will open reservations to SINC members and other authors’ groups and the general public.
This, literally, is a once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, and to experience the glitz, lifestyle, and authors of the roaring twenties. Don’t miss this opportunity to hang out with celebrity authors and writers and celebrate F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece.
See you there!
