“Close Encounters with our Nearest Star” by Dr. Rob Ebert. Dr. Ebert will focus on the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter missions, both of which are exploring the Sun from close proximity. The presentation will summarize the objectives of these missions and how they’ve revolutionized our understanding of our nearest star.

L. Frank Baum’s beloved story of a young girl’s adventure in a magical land has been entertaining audiences for over a century. MGM’s blockbuster 1939 film adaptation, featuring the timeless songs of Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, along with the brilliant instrumental music of Herbert Stothart, elevated the popular novel to even greater heights. This stage adaptation, featuring the characters and celebrated songs from the film, brings the wondrous Land of Oz to life in a jubilant theatrical experience.
Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.

A black farce masterpiece, LOOT follows the fortunes of two young thieves, Hal and Dennis. Dennis is a hearse driver for an undertaker. They have robbed the bank next door to the funeral parlour and have returned to Hal’s home to hide-out with the loot. Hal’s mother has just died and the pair put the money in her coffin, hiding the body elsewhere in the house. With the arrival of Inspector Truscott, the thickened plot turns topsy-turvy.

Join us for a volunteer day at Labor Serena Community Garden!

We’ll begin with a discussion on the importance of soil health in raised garden beds. Good soil, with amendments like mulch and compost, is vital for conserving water and supporting healthy plant growth.

Then we’ll dive right in with some hands-on work! Together, we’ll be revamping several raised beds from the ground up. We’ll fill the beds with soil and fresh compost, before topping them off with a protective layer of mulch.

This is a great opportunity to build practical gardening skills, connect with others, and ensure that this community garden has a solid foundation for its spring growing season.

No prior experience is needed! The staff of Labor Serena will be providing food and beverages – just bring your energy and get ready to get your hands in the soil.
