SUMMARY:Local Author Event: All-American
DESCRIPTION:The All-American is a deeply funny and poignant coming-of-age tale that turns the American immigrant narrative on its head. \n\n\n\nIn the woods behind a trailer park in rural Washington\, Bucky\, a Korean-American high school senior\, trains alone with a tire tied to his waist to pursue his singular goal: to play college football. But when the U.S. government deports him and the South Korean Army conscripts him\, he finds himself alone in the country of his birth and caught in the underbelly of a forgotten yet bitter war. To make it out safely and earn his ticket home\, Beyonghak must face tough but essential questions about his family legacy and personal identity\, at last parsing the difference between the roles he is expected to play and the type of man he wants to become. \n\n\n\nCome meet the author\, Joe Milan Jr! He’ll be doing a reading\, answer your burning questions\, and sign books! Don’t miss it! \n\n\n\nWant to learn more? Check out his interview with Kerri Miller of MPR!

SUMMARY:Postcards for Peace
DESCRIPTION:I (Anna) have been feeling pretty hopeless about the situation in Gaza. I’ve emailed my reps\, I’ve donated money\, and people just keep dying and dying (Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages and more). \n\n\n\nSome of you have probably had similar feelings. Let’s join together to let our representatives know what’s important to us. Garden Party is hosting an event to create postcards to send to our representative\, our senators\, our president\, and our vice president. We’ll be asking for a ceasefire so civilian lives can be protected\, humanitarian aid can be let through\, and hostage negotiations can be carried out. \n\n\n\nWe’ll provide the postcards and writing/art materials and addresses and will accept donations for postage. Any donations above the postage costs will be sent to Doctors Without Borders. \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, all ages are welcome\, and you can come in anytime during the two hour period. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Indoor Fountain Course (3 Classes)
DESCRIPTION:Register Now!  \n\n\n\nWater plays an important part in our lives. Bringing bubbling\, flowing water into our living spaces helps bring a natural feeling back to our lives and may help reduce stress. Nothing compares to the feeling you’ll get from creating your own fountain with the help of instructor Marie Marvin. Select the shapes and materials that make the sculpture your own and even add something of importance to you\, like a crystal\, figurine\, or shell to give it a special meaning. Please bring any items you may want to incorporate on the first day of class so that we can prepare.  \n\n\n\nThis course occurs: \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, June 24th 10:00 am – 1:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, June 25th 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, July 15th 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\nAll three classes must be attended to complete this course.

Instructor Marie Marvin will help you manifest your idea into something beautiful to enjoy for many years to come. \n\n\n\nSpend this class building an indoor fountain with us and go home with a one of a kind creation! \n\n\n\nRegister now!
