Looking for a group where you can discuss and discover Young Adult literature with other readers? Come and check us out! Bring a friend and 2 books you would like to suggest for our future club discussions! Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
The goal of this club is for young adults to get together to read, discuss, and share YA literature. No genre is excluded! (So long as it’s Young Adult.)
Regular meetings will be held on the 4th Sunday of every month, from 1:30pm – 3:00pm
Is it possible to be a warrior in today’s world? What would that look like and how would it be different than being one in the past? Often today there are no clear boundaries set for self-responsibility and honor. We live in a fast-paced fear-driven society that does not value families and communities like we did in times past.
In this workshop, we will examine the qualities of historic heroes and compare them to those qualities that we possess today in our modern environment. We will create and examine our own personal honor code and delve deeper into what the roots of these words truly mean. We will examine our own fears and see how they can be a catalyst for courage.
We will end this workshop by discussing 10 qualities that every individual needs to possess in order to be a successful warrior in today’s world. This workshop is for both men and women warriors

Come join us at the Sanctuary as Jester, a local mead maker, guides us through a workshop on the creation of mead, the world’s oldest form of fermentation.
Together, we will make a batch of mead from beginning to end and Jester will reveal the secrets behind every step of this age-old skill.
Cost of the workshop is $25.
From this workshop you will learn;
• Sanitization practices
• Yeast preparation
• Mixing initial must (must is the honey and water mixture)
• How to ferment mead properly
What you need to bring
For a 1 gallon carboy plus airlock, you will need to bring:
1 Towel to wrap carboy after class
1 gallon of jugged spring water.
3 lbs of honey (natural not creamed)
1-1.5lbs of desired fruit (if wanting a fruit mead) must bring own knife
(When using any size carboy, use above and calculate – a five gallon carboy will take five times the amount.)
I have 8-1 gallon carboys available for $15 a piece at the workshop. If you would like one of these please let me know.
They can be found online (by clicking here) for $10.88.
