Riders In The Sky
<p><strong>RIDERS IN THE SKY</strong> are truly exceptional. By definition, empirical data, and critical acclaim, they stand "hats & shoulders" above the rest of the purveyors of C & W - "Comedy & Western!"<br><br>For more than thirty years, <strong>RIDERS IN THE SKY</strong> have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the genre. While remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life "The Cowboy Way!"</p> 2019-02-19 15:30:00 -06004/25/192:00 p.m.Temple TheaterDes Moines -

Our Pick Book Club: Paris By the Book by Liam Callanan
<p>Join us for a lively discussion about <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35450129-paris-by-the-book"><em>Paris by the Book</em></a> by Liam Callanan. Copies of the book are available for purchase at M and M Bookstore.</p><p>Light refreshments may be served.</p><p>About the book:</p><p><strong>A missing person, a grieving family, a curious clue: a half-finished manuscript set in Paris. Heading off in search of its author, a mother and her daughters find themselves in France, rescuing a failing bookstore and drawing closer to unexpected truths.</strong><br><br><em>Once a week, I chase men who are not my husband….</em><br><br>When eccentric novelist Robert Eady abruptly vanishes, he leaves behind his wife, Leah, their daughters, and, hidden in an unexpected spot, plane tickets to Paris.<br><br>Hoping to uncover clues—and her husband—Leah sets off for France with her girls. Upon their arrival, she discovers an unfinished manuscript, one Robert had been writing without her knowledge…and that he had set in Paris. The Eady women follow the path of the manuscript to a small, floundering English-language bookstore whose weary proprietor is eager to sell. The whole store? Today? Yes, but Leah’s biggest surprise comes when she hears herself accepting the offer on the spot.<br><br>As the family settles into their new Parisian life, they can’t help but trace the literary paths of some beloved Parisian classics, including<span> </span><em>Madeline</em><span> </span>and<span> </span><em>The Red Balloon</em>, hoping more clues arise. But a series of startling discoveries forces Leah to consider that she may not be ready for what solving this mystery might do to her family—and the Paris she thought she knew.<br><br>At once haunting and charming,<span> </span><em>Paris by the Book</em><span> </span>follows one woman’s journey as her story is being rewritten, exploring the power of family and the magic that hides within the pages of a book.</p> 2018-12-15 19:00:00 -0600

Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Feel the Creator’s rhythm inside you during a drum circle. Join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) each month. <i>Please note the date changes for June.</i> In the cosmic experience, drumming touches us at a deep level and brings all creation together as a community. Especially now, when our external and internal worlds can be so polarized, communication that bears witness to creative love is very important. Drumming—and feeling the Creator’s rhythm inside of us—resonates with a variety of people. All racial, economic, denominational and other differences can disappear when a group of people share rhythm. As you prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! These drum circles take place monthly, and you may attend one or all. No experience is necessary. You are welcome to bring your own drum or use one of ours. This drum circle will meet near the pond south of the Center if the weather is nice or in the Art Room during inclement weather. A free-will offering to the facilitator will be accepted.
