SUMMARY:Jessie Dowling\, Gaucho Derby Competitor
DESCRIPTION:Jessie Dowling of Iron Ledge Farm in Whitefield returns for a presentation about another epically long and challenging horse race! The Gaucho Derby is a 500 kilometer\, multi-horse endurance race set over a 10 day period in Patagonia\, Argentina\, billed as the “Toughest Horse Race in the World.” Contestants carry their own tent\, food\, and other essential gear in saddle bags and receive resupply bags of food set along the course route. The course runs through some of the most rugged wild places in the world navigating through steep mountain passes\, down scree lined cliffs\, across bog filled valleys\, barren mesas\, and wild Patagonian steppe. The winds of Patagonia are epically strong\, and the weather can change in an instant from sun to hail. Jessie will be giving a presentation on what it was like training for and competing in the race.

SUMMARY:Writing a “Legacy Letter”: Sharing Your Values with Loved Ones
DESCRIPTION:An interactive workshop led by Jay Sherwin. \nA legacy letter (also called an “ethical will”) is a written document that allows you to share your life lessons\, express your values and transmit your blessings to future generations. A legacy letter is not a formal legal document or a full-length memoir; it’s a brief personal statement\, typically just a few pages. Writing one is a rewarding experience that creates an enduring gift for your family\, friends and loved ones. \nThis workshop is designed to introduce the concept of legacy letters and to help you craft your own legacy letter. It includes discussion and brief writing exercises. Jay will offer advice to help you complete your legacy letter\, share it with loved ones and preserve it for future generations. \nJay Sherwin has practiced law\, given away money for five charitable foundations and served as a hospital chaplain. Drawing on all those experiences\, Jay created the Life Reflections Project to educate people about legacy letters and ethical wills; he now teaches classes and workshops on legacy writing and helps people create their own legacy documents. You can read more on Jay’s website at http://www.jaysherwin.com.

SUMMARY:Author Event: Marquee Peters (Paris Heart)
DESCRIPTION:The Company We Keep is a psychological horror novella about Jake Warren\, a father who accepts an uncanny job at Ortus Solutions\, a company that hires him without an interview. The office seems perfect: smiling coworkers\, looping hallways\, glowing badges\, and screens that feel like they’re watching back. Each day\, Jake rises through “alignment” tiers while photos of his daughter begin to blur and vanish. When policies turn ritual and HR whispers\, “You were always meant to be here\,” he must choose between belonging and the self he came to save. Lean\, eerie\, and grounded in work-life anxiety\, this is an October pick for fans of corporate-cult stories.
