Where are the Gardner Rembrandts and Who Took Them? 

These are the questions that people have been asking for almost 35 years. 

Art theft and security expert, author Anthony Amore has written several books on the topic and will be speaking at the Club on Wednesday, September 25th at 6:30PM with a Q&A to follow. 

If you’d like a signed copy of one of his books, all can be purchased in advance on Amazon – and then bring it (or them) with you. 

Member’s Bar vs. Hamlen Room will be determined by number of attendees – so if you are planning to join us, please RSVP to janice@tandr.org by Friday, September 20th so we can set up accordingly. 

A topic of endless fascination for many, this should prove to be an entertaining event – and we hope to see you then!
