Join Lisa Lord, a nationally known speaker and executive coach, as she explores the reasons behind our unconscious bias and how it can get in the way of building genuine human connections. Unconscious bias is not always apparent and addressing it has more to do with self-discovery

and personal growth than with political correctness or polite behavior. By joining this webinar, you will discover strategies to increase your awareness and recognize how unconscious bias can hinder the formation of meaningful and long-lasting connections. With a little bit of knowledge and a genuine desire to foster human connection, we can all improve our ability to consciously include others.

Christine Yoo is a filmmaker who has produced and directed a new award-winning, independent documentary, 26.2 TO LIFE, that explores
the transformative power of San Quentin’s 1000 Mile Club in which incarcerated runners are coached by volunteer elite marathon runners for
an annual marathon that takes place entirely within the prison. With the 0% recidivism rate among the released members of the club, the story of the 1000 Mile Club shows how powerful community engagement can be, not just for the incarcerated runners, but also for the volunteers who gain a complex understanding of who ends up in prison and why and what true rehabilitation looks like. We encourage members to see the film prior to the webinar. The film will open on Sept 22 in theaters in Marin County and will have a nationwide virtual premiere the week of Sept 25 (exact date is TBD). In 2024 the film will be broadcast on PBS.

solutions and collaborating with regional and state agencies to mitigate
the impact of flooding on the community. Flooding at Manzanita, the

The Remarkable Story of the Women of the Outdoor Art Club who Shaped the Town of Mill Valley.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE BOOK TRAILER

The Outdoor Art Club is proud to announce LADIES TO THE RESCUE, by Author Lynda Chittenden, Research by Melissa Kurtz.

In 1902 what was this town like? With no history of activism, what caused a group of local women to organize? They couldn’t vote, so how did they influence Town Trustees? How did this group fund and build a clubhouse in only two years? Once they had a clubhouse, why did their “home” become the town’s cultural center? Who were these women as individuals? What were the life experiences of some that compelled them to step out from their domestic worlds into public life? Why should we remember them? Are their voices relevant to us today? Curious?
