| Midlife Maze: A Map to Recovery and Rediscovery after Loss | Psychologist Jan Johnston's second book was released February 16, 2017. While no one wants to experience loss, there is tremendous learning in one's grieving process--whether from the loss of a job, physical or mental health, loved one, a home, or one's own dreams. Johnston views loss and change during midlife as "fertilizer" for new dreams. | 1 | 0 | .00033E7 | 33 | N | N | ||

Here you will have a sumptuous vegetarian dinner served with wines, gin and tonic, and Brandy Manhattans! Indulge in Quinoa Salad with Roasted vegetables, sautéed eggplant with spicy miso sauce, sweet potatoes stuffed with fennel and roasted, French portabellas in garlic marinade on the grill! Blueberry cobbler ideally combines the best of the region with a rustic and homey dessert. Yum!! But before dinner, if there is time, you can relax and swim on the beach, fish the lake (Great Blue Gill) or play in the sand (LOL) and soak up some sun! We’ll end our day with a bonfire on the North Lake beach, a beautiful sunset, and watch the stars come out while we tell you the intriguing story of North Lake. If you have a guitar, bring it along. Later you will retire to a private guest cottage, with a bunk bed, a single bed, and a loft, or to one of the private bedrooms in our home. In the morning, after a leisurely breakfast, we will visit our Amish friends on their Farm. Watch Christine make baked goods in a kerosene oven; meet Lorena, the mom of eleven children who still does wash by hand.

While he may not be able to make you smile on paper, he can brighten your day by electronically repairing tears, scratches, faded contrast, and in some cases faded color. Isolating a subject from its background, adding drop shadows, removing dust specks and putting your head on another person's body are also possible. Dig out those treasured or historic family photos and have them spruced up for your display shelves or as gifts. He will work on as many photos as possible in one hour from either prints (up to 8.5 x 11) which he will scan and return, or from electronic files. You will get back electronic files to print in the size you desire. To see examples, visit http://www.jpedit.com/category/photo-restoration. | 2 | 0 | .0005E7 | 50 | N | N | ||

| Chicago's Public Art: Lecture and Slide Show |
Ed McDevitt, an expert on Chicago's public art collection, will lecture on that collection's history and the stories of several of the works in it. While the works in our great and free civic gallery of art number in the thousands, Ed will not attempt to cover all of them. That would take a bit more than one hour of lecture time. Instead, Ed will talk about the history of public art in the city, about the oddness of some of the statues (and how they got there), about the myth of men on horses, about some "Indians," about a circus parade, and even about Riverview Amusement Park. We hope to give the event in the new meeting space at 1019 South Boulevard and to offer refreshments after the lecture. In the event 1019 is not to be ready for us on our chosen date, we will announce an alternative space. | 50 | 39 | .0002E7 | 20 | 10/15/17 4:00 PM | N | N | |

| Cannas planted in your garden | I will plant 12 cannas in a prepared spot at your home or other location within 25 miles of the church. Cannas are tropical flowers, the variety I have grows to about 5 feet high with broad sword-like leaves and spikes that produce brilliant scarlet flowers. If you deadhead the flower spikes they will bloom prolifically all season. Cannas will grow best with lots of sun and moist soil. Cannas are planted only an inch or so deep. They grow from rhizomes not technically bulbs and the rhizomes grow horizontally. Being tropical they will not survive the winter in this part of the world unless you dig them up and store them in a dry dark cool place for the winter. They are easy to dig and to store and they will last forever and multiply with minor care. Of course you can leave them in the ground and buy new as desired. Planting must be after the soil is warm, late April to late May for best results. Cannas can do well in larger planters if kept moist. | 1 | 0 | .0002E7 | 20 | N | N | ||

With those words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen King's Roland - an implacable gunslinger in search of the enigmatic Dark Tower, powering his way through a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic. Now, in a comic book personally overseen by King himself, Roland's past is revealed! Sumptuously drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, adapted by long-time Stephen King expert Robin Furth (author of Stephen King's The Dark Tower: A Concordance) and scripted by New York Times bestseller Peter David, this series delves in depth into Roland's origins - the perfect introduction to this incredibly realized world; while long-time fans will thrill to adventures merely hinted at in the novels.

| Hop & Malt Appreciation Session | If you crave real flavor diversity, come spend an afternoon learning why BEER is the world's most interesting libation. As a certified beer judge and a home brewer for over 20 years, I've amassed a wealth of knowledge that is completely useless outside of a small circle of self-classified beer geeks. For a limited time only, well o.k., really anytime someone will listen to me, I'm offering to share from my private stock of specialty beers and spend an afternoon tasting many different beer styles and discussing the brewing process, food pairings and any other geeky beer related subject you care to discuss. A light snack will also be served. | 9 | 0 | .00025E7 | 25 | 4/23/17 2:00 PM | N | N | |

| Grape vs Grain Smackdown Dinner | The debate has gone far beyond tastes great or less filling when it comes to beer. In fact there are those among us who believe that beer deserves a place at the table equal to (or perhaps greater than?) wine. Paula Spears, Ed Malone and Keith Huizinga invite you to jump into the ring and join the debate. The evening will include a multi-course gourmet dining experience, each course will have a specially selected wine (Ed) and beer (Keith) for our guests to sample. You will then have the opportunity to vote your opinion of the best pairing for each course. At the end of the evening we will tally the votes and determine once and for all (or at least until next year) the champion of fermented beverages. | 8 | 0 | .00055E7 | 55 | 6/24/17 6:00 PM | N | N | |
