Back-to-School Adventure Hour
This Saturday, August 15th at 11 AM
Whether your child is starting "big school" for the very first time or is a seasoned veteran beginning third or fourth grade, he or she is bound to anticipate the new school year with both excitement and trepidation: will I like my new teacher? Will my friends be in my class? Will someone be mean to me on the playground?
Join us for an hour of fun designed to help your youngster reflect on the coming adventures of starting or returning to school. Our leader for the hour is Whitney Roberson, who speaks "Kid" fluently and who coordinated the family ministry program at Grace Cathedral for many years. Refreshments will be served.

MELANIE GIDEON will read from
The Slippery Year
Tuesday, August 18th at 7 PM
"Is this all there is?" Such is the existential query addressed in Gideon's
hilarious and probing memoir. At 44, she chronicles a year in which she
confronts both the fantasies of her receding youth and the realities of midlife
with a husband, a child, and a dog (one of whom runs away).
"Gideon's self-deprecating and wry insights into the mysteries of marriage, parenthood, and the evolution of the self are astute, pragmatic, and generous, providing the perfect antidote to the everyday blues."
