Join trained facilitator and Rochester resident Robin Bebo-Long for a thoughtful, civil conversation about Project 2025, a 900+-page document written by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. This document is essentially a plan for a possible Republican administration in 2025. We will engage in respectful dialogue with a goal of understanding the words as written; these are not interpretive sessions, nor are they intended for promotion of personal views. We will use a text-based protocol to deepen our understanding of portions of the document itself. Meeting 3 times in October at the library, we will read and discuss the mission and overview statements of plans for Health and Human Services, the EPA, and the Department of Education. Photocopies of relevant texts will be provided. Our facilitator is Rochester resident Robin Bebo-Long. Robin was a teacher for 30 years, and has worked as a naturalist, an education mentor trainer, and is a trained facilitator. She co-taught Facilitative Leadership through SNHU. October 22, 24, and 29 at 10 am, upstairs at the library.
On Saturday, October 26, join local artist Lauren Scogin for a Crafterday workshop on making a birch ornament. Not necessarily a holiday decoration, this simple, beautiful project will be a lovely addition wherever you hang it, or a welcome gift for whomever receives it! Geared toward adults, older kids welcome. 10-11 am.
I am looking for other crafters willing to lead a Saturday morning workshop in the fall, in which participants can make one item that could be a gift. So far we have plans to learn how to make ornaments from birch tree rings, felted acorn earrings, and a simple embroidery project. Making gifts is so much fun! What can you share with us?
