Leaving A Legacy: Estate Planning Seminar at Grand Living at Indian Creek
<p>Join us at Grand Living at Indian Creek for an informative presentation by Jeff Kaiden, CFP, LUTCF, and JD Klopfenstein of Principal Financial. <br><br>You might think estate planning is only for wealthy people or that it can wait until you’re older. But everyone has something to protect — family, home, investments and retirement accounts, personal property, and perhaps a business. As your estate grows, your biggest concerns might be protecting your family in the event of your death or disability and building financial security. Later, you might be more focused on preserving what you have and distributing it the way you want. Estate planning helps ensure your objectives are met during each phase. Your legacy is important. Creating your estate plan today can give you the confidence and control to know that it will be passed on to your loved ones the way you intend.<br><br>RSVP: 310.930.3250 or INDIANCREEK@GRANDLIVING.COM. </p> 2020-01-13 14:30:00 -0600

Seed Starting and Edible Garden Planning
<p>One of the hardest parts of garden planning is getting a good head start and keeping those seedlings alive! In this course, learn all of the ins and outs of starting your own edible garden from seed starting indoors and out in the soil. Learn to care for new seedlings, how to harden off plants, when to transplant, and grow your own food. Garden planning can be easy once you know which plants do well next to each other. Companion planting can make or break your garden as it can keep pests away, prevent disease, and even impact the flavor and quality of your vegetables. Whether you want to learn how to be more sustainable, feed your family delicious homegrown food, get outside and put your hands in the soil, or cook more at home, this course will teach you all you need to know to get started planting the garden of your dreams! </p><ul><li>Registration is required prior to the class start date. If you have questions or would like to register, please visit <a href="http://www.kirkwood.edu/ce">www.kirkwood.edu/ce</a> or contact 319-398-1022.</li></ul> 2019-12-11 20:00:00 -06002/24/206:00 p.m.Kirkwood Regional CenterCoralville -

Your Special Sauce Workshop
<p>In this workshop we will dive deep to find out what it is that sets you apart from everyone else and then find ways to deliver it to the world, either as a hobby or a vocation, whichever is most appropriate. Matching up what you have to offer and what people actually want is the most important part of the equation, one that most people miss. You’ll end the day with an idea for at least one project that is something people will want today or in the near future. You will have an action plan that will give you direction and continued inspiration, as well as a way to stay accountable while you test your ideas. Expect to open your intuition and creativity during this class.</p><p>This workshop is for people who are trailblazers with a willingness to try things that haven’t been done before. This is both an exciting and humbling journey.</p><p>Includes a Special Sauce Planner.</p><p>Taught by Gretchen Little who has been fascinated by soul purpose, creativity, and entrepreneurship her entire life. (She tried to sell flowers she made in a Thingmaker on the 4<sup>th</sup> grade playground until the teachers shut her down because she was too successful.) Her intuition has guided her to know what people are looking for, sometimes before they even know it themselves. This class is a result of the concepts that will be taught.</p> 2019-12-16 15:30:00 -0600

“Light, Color, & Dance: The Genius of Loie Fuller,” by Carol Rezabek
<p>Born in Illinois, Loie Fuller became one of Europe’s most wildly celebrated dancers. She was the only female entertainer to have her own pavilion at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec featured her in a number of his prints, August Rodin commissioned a series of photographs of the dancer with plans to sculpt her; and the Lumière brothers released a film about her in 1897. Fuller’s famed Serpentine Dance, personified Art Nouveau in elegant flowing lines of her billowing silk gowns, which she moved using bamboo dowels sewn into her sleeves. As she danced “colored lights were projected onto the flowing fabric, and as she twirled, she seemed to metamorphose into elements from the natural world: a flower, a butterfly, a tongue of flame.” Carol Rezabek presents this fascinating program on this visionary performer and technological trailblazer.</p> 2019-12-30 14:30:00 -0600

This class will teach you not only how to design and grow your own produce, eggs, and meats, but also the legalities and liabilities of operating a small farm, how to start a successful Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, market and sell at farmers’ markets, properly harvest and store fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and everything in between. </p><ul><li>Registration is required prior to the class start date.

Talk: "Goddess Eye View" with Suzanne Wright
<p>In a recent body of work, Grant Wood Fellow in Painting & Drawing Suzanne Wright researched the planning, architecture, and symbology of Washington, DC. Using Google Earth to view the capital city from an aerial perspective, she created an inverted, “feminized” version of the city’s monuments. These works open a dialogue that responds to historically masculine symbols of power, exemplified by her painting of the Washington Monument, <em>Goddess Eye View</em>. Wright will discuss how art, activism, and collectives have profoundly shaped her understanding of the systemic nature of discrimination and oppression, as well as the ways in which art can be a tactic of resistance and has the potential to change habitual perspectives and consciousness.</p><p>Suzanne Wright is an artist and professor living and working in Los Angeles. She earned her BFA at Cooper Union and MFA at the University of California San Diego; she also attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Wright’s paintings, drawings, and collages propose a contemporary feminist alchemy, forging alternative frames of reference with new perspectives that attempt to lead us to a re-vitalized kind of perception, equality, and empowerment. Her most recent solo show <em>Feminist Alchemy</em> was on view at Wilding Cran Gallery (Los Angeles, CA). Other recent exhibitions were at Commonwealth and Council (Los Angeles, CA) called The Rainbow Control Room and Angel’s Gate Cultural Center (San Pedro, CA). She has been included in exhibitions at Stephen Friedman Gallery (London, UK), Stefan Stux (New York, NY), Claire Oliver Gallery (New York, NY), and Monya Rowe (New York, NY). She was awarded the Kraus visiting professorship in Painting and Drawing at Carnegie Mellon and has taught at several universities in New York and Los Angeles. Her work can be seen in publications including <em>Cock, Paper, Scissors;</em> <em>Feminist Landscapes;</em> <em>Strange Attractors;</em> <em>Armpit of the Mole;</em> and <em>Art and Queer Culture</em> (Phaidon, 2013). Wright has been an active member of various AIDS and LGBTQ organizations, including ACT UP/New York from 1989–1998.</p><p>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events.
