TICKBORNE ILLNESSES PRESENTATION BY JEFF WAITE
Free Admission
There is much yet to be learned about ticks and the diseases they can transmit to people. What is known is that in the United States nearly 500,000 people are infected each year, and around 20% of those infected develop chronic symptoms that become life altering, or in some cases life ending. Since neither ticks nor we are planning on departing anytime soon, it’s imperative to know what needs to be done to coexist. This presentation focuses on conveying the knowledge needed to remain healthy in the epicenter of Midwestern tick populations.

THE TRUTH ABOUT READING: THE INVISIBLE CRISIS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT DOCUMENTARY FILM
Free Admission - Click here to RSVP
This eye-opening documentary film from Emmy award-winning director Nick Nanton tells the story of illiteracy and sub-literacy in America. The purpose of the film is to spread the word, not just about the detrimental effect the crisis is having on our society and economy, but that there are proven and effective solutions already available. With a growing voice and an everincreasing need for resources (many kids are on long waiting lists for services because the support to handle this large number of people is not there), we can stand up together and make what seems impossible – possible! The Truth about Reading will engage and captivate, while educating and motivating viewers.
