DECEMBER MOVIE MATINEE
Join us on Friday, December 21st at
2:00pm for the film “One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest”, a 1975 American comedy
-drama film directed by Miloš Forman,
starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletch-
er. Considered by some to be one of the
greatest films ever made, One Flew Over

the rebellious McMurphy and Nurse Ratched, who runs
the psychiatric ward. Enjoy fresh hot popcorn while you
watch the film.
