Join Jen, on the last Sunday of every month to discuss and explore feminism in a fun, empowering environment.  Open to anyone who wants to explore feminism.  Authors DO NOT ATTEND. Base Ten by Maryann Lesert Compelling and fiercely honest, this novel exposes the daily battles of women scientists fighting to preserve a family life and succeed in a discipline that functions on the archaic belief that every scientist has a "wife" at home.

First Congregational Church Free, non-ticketed event with festival seating Rick Steves—author of 30 European travel guidebooks and host of popular PBS and NPR series—believes that thoughtful travel expands our world view and shapes how we address the challenges confronting our nation politically.  Having spent four months a year overseas for the last 25 years, Rick feels that travel helps us “challenge truths we were raised to think were self-evident and God-given.”  He shares how the other 96 percent of humanity sees our nation and explores how his social activism has grown naturally out of his travel experiences.  Join us for this engaging event! Co-sponsored by The Mission Justice and Social Concerns Committee of the First Congregataional Church of Bellingham.
