Join us for our Movie Matinees on Wednesday afternoons.

This week we will be screening "The Long Game" (PG) starring Jay Hernandez, Dennis Quaid, and Cheech Marin at 2:30 pm.

Run time 1 hour 52 minutes.

"Based on the critically acclaimed self-published book by Author Humberto G. Garcia. In 1955, five young Mexican-American caddies, out of the love for the game, were determined to learn how to play, so they created their own golf course in the middle of the South Texas desert. Despite having outdated and inferior equipment, and no professional instruction to begin with, they would go on to compete against wealthy all-white teams and win the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship. The film is "A Field of Dreams" set in the world of Golf. Their inspiring triumph overcame prejudice and broke barriers for many Latino PGA Golfers to follow."

Come and enjoy the theater-like screen and sound system with fellow film buffs. This free event will be held in the Program Room and all are welcome!
