The Lower Makefield Srs. are planning their November 10, 2026 Meet & Greet - "OPERATION MINCEMEAT".
This month's guest speaker, Marilyn Adelman, is from REAP. REAP provides it's members with the opportunity to research an unexplored subject and present a talk based on their in-depth investigation.
Ms. Adelman will present “Operation Mincemeat,” the extraordinary British deception plan that helped disguise the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily. British intelligence officers placed false documents on the body of Glyndwr Michael, dressed him as a military officer, and arranged for the body to reach German hands. The carefully crafted ruse convinced German leaders that the Allies intended to invade Greece rather than Sicily, helping protect the real operation. This remarkable episode combines espionage, strategy, and human drama. As a delightful footnote, the story has also inspired *Operation Mincemeat*, a musical comedy currently running on Broadway. We hope you will join us for this informative presentation.
Our monthly M&Gs occur every second Tuesday of the month (except for July, August, and December) at 9:45 AM in the Lower Makefield Community Center (1550 Oxford Valley Road, Yardley,PA). Each gathering includes a brief business meeting, an inspiring guest speaker or program, and ends with a delicious light lunch.
If you’re 55 or older and interested in joining us for this or any future Meet & Greet, you don’t have to be a member to attend. Just email us at [email protected] with your full name and phone number, and we’ll be happy to welcome you.
