Kaw Valley Herbs Study Group meeting
October 9, 2012 at 7pm
Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence, 1263 N. 1100 Rd.
$2 donation to cover costs; students free
The Kaw Valley Herbs Study Group meets monthly to learn about herbs. We explore all aspects of an herb:
growing & harvesting, historical lore, culinary virtues, medicinal
merits, and aromatherapy, household, and cosmetic applications. Our
gatherings are fun and educational, and jam-packed with useful
information, including relevant demonstrations.
Our October focus herbs are Witch Hazel and Artemesia (Wormwood). In addition to our topic herbs, we will be talking about The Herbs of Halloween and Creating your Own Aromatherapy Sprays and Spells, PLUS you never know what you'll learn during our popular Share, Show, and Tell segment.
KVHSG is a non-profit group.

Drop City: Film screening
Thursday, October 11, 2012 at 7pm
Liberty Hall
$6 donation support Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen
Drop City, filmed by Joan Grossman and Tom McCourt
with animations by Michael Krueger, is a story of whimsical innovation and the drive to create a new civilization on the
scrapheap of a wasteful society. Drop
City is widely considered to be the first hippie commune of the 1960’s and the
first to be grounded in art practice.
A short film by Gene Bernofsky, Lawrence of America (1980), will also be shown at this
screening. This film was made in
Lawrence and takes a satirical but prescient look at changing attitudes toward
economic inequality in America.
After the two screenings, director Joan Grossman, artist Michael
Krueger and dropper Gene Bernofsky will invite a conversation.
All proceeds go to L.I.N.K.
Tickets are available at Liberty Hall.

LSN is an all-volunteer organization
dedicated to learning how to live lightly and sustainably.
Sustainability requires that we restore biodiversity and environmental
health, strengthen relationships within and among human communities,
insist on democratic decision-making at all levels of governance,
insure social and economic equity for all, promote peaceful conflict resolution,
and reorient our aims from growth to stability and justice.
It means living within our means today and protecting the interests of future generations.
LSN supports the efforts of individuals and organizations that work toward these goals.
