The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association shares its building with the community with a variety of activities. You can go there to vote, see Free Readers Theatre, have fun at the OPRF High School Jazz Band event or watch our Monday afternoon Humanities Enrichment Series.
One of the fun events for children is our “Cookies and Cocoa” Saturday December 13 where families come for festive activities. Surrounded by holiday decorations they can take family pictures by lovely decorated trees and meet and talk to Santa. The Model Railroad Club brings their trains to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. It is fun to make holiday crafts and paint ornaments while eating our chef’s homemade cookies and drinking cocoa with marshmallows floating it in it. Sing Holiday Songs accompanies by our piano. Our members enjoy seeing happy engaged children as they pour their cocoa and refill the cookie plates.
Bring your family to the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association’s “Cookies and Cocoa” event this December. Share the love with us.
The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association
The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association strengthens our community through learning, giving, and sharing our landmark building through space grants to local nonprofits, who account for 80% of its usage. We provide community outreach, scholarships, and public programming in five areas: music, art, literature, science, and social sciences. The Nineteenth Century is the owner of 178 Forest Avenue, commonly referred to as the Nineteenth Century Club. Our charitable and cultural activities are supported by our members, volunteers, donors, and by the events held at the building. Programs are open to all and we welcome all ages to join. Our Monday programs are now being live-streamed as well as available a week later on our website for all to enjoy.
If you would like information about volunteering, joining or donating, please call us at 708-286-2729 or email us as info@nineteenthcentury.org. You can also make donations at nineteenthcentury.org.
