Join us for a author panel discussion on cannabis gardening and cooking with authors Jamie Evans, Penny Barthel, Monica Lo, and Haejin Chun. This is part of a larger event that includes painting bongs at Color Me Mine. We will have their books available to purchase onsite and you can pre-order in advance through this link.
Hope to see you there!
Come out to hear about Alcatraz Ghost Story. Written by Brian Stannard, a guide with Alcatraz Cellhouse Tours, Alcatraz Ghost Story explores the life of Roy Gardner in the context of his great love story and the larger backdrop of drug addiction, incarceration, and the racial and labor violence of the 1920s and 1930s.
Arriving directly from Alcatraz, Stannard will host a conversation with the audience about all things pertaining to the Rock. Have questions about ghosts? What are ghosts? Did Al Capone play banjo? Stannard is eager to answer!
Join Dr. Kristin Vogel-Campbell to discuss her new book and share a few of the book’s vignettes, her experience as an educator, and a Q & A with the audience.
This book is geared towards both pre- and in-service educators and administrators who are seeking to deepen their understanding of parent perspective and how they can tailor their practices to ensure a more inclusive and inviting environment.
Please register here for the free event.
Author Talk: Getting to Sorry
We all recognize terrible apologies. You’ve probably gotten a few. Excuse-laden, blame-shifting, weaselly offerings can fracture friendships and family bonds, harm businesses, and damage workplace relationships.
Join Susan share about the book and discuss apologies. Learn how to elicit better apologies, how to offer great ones, and how to teach kids how to apologize.
Event is free
