UPCOMING EVENTS
Monday, September 23 at 1:00 pm – Book Group Meeting at Pat Crane’s Home, also available via Zoom by request. This month’s book is Lysistratra by Aristophanes, trans. by Sarah Ruden. This is the classic Greek comedy about how the women of Athens stop a war by denying the men sex. (Lysistrata means, literally, “army disbander.”) Do read this classic Greek comedy in Ruden’s excellent contemporary translation, which accurately renders the bawdiness of the original. Discussion will be lead by Sharron Cassavant.
Thursday, September 26 at 5:30 pm – Kay Wendowski Memorial Pot Luck at Talbot County Free Library, Easton Branch
Speaker: Dana Newnan, Library Director, Easton Branch speaking about local book censorship issues. This is not a community wide presentation but if you know a friend who would be interested in the program, please invite them.
