SUMMARY:Herstorical Happy Hour: Star Spangled Sipper - Liberty 250® Program
DESCRIPTION:Interactive craft cocktail class hosted by pop historian\, comedian and certified mixologist\, Jacey Powers. This unique event combines one-part humor\, one-part history and shakes them up for a perfectly blended celebration of fascinating women in history\, worthy of raising a glass to.  As we approach America’s 250th birthday\, we’ll look at the story behind our nation’s most enduring symbol: the United States Flag. We’ve all heard the story of Betsy Ross\, but is it fact or an American fable?

This high-energy happy hour will illuminate the way we tell women’s stories with every guest learning a little and laughing a lot.

SUMMARY:“All in the Telling – a somewhat true story” with Saul Rubinek
DESCRIPTION:Saul Rubinek’s novel All in The Telling – a somewhat true story\, weaves together a true story of miraculous survival\, a murder mystery\, an operatic family drama\, and undying romance. When Saul falls in love with a non-Jewish woman\, he discovers his immigrant\, Holocaust survivor parents are not as “cool with it” as he said they’d be. Their reaction is biblical. Desperate to fix his relationship with his parents\, he lies and tells them he’s writing a book about their story of love and survival. In chronicling their lives\, Saul discovers their extraordinary loyalty and bravery – but also the lies\, secrets\, and deceptions buried in his family’s past. Rubinek will perform excerpts of his book. The reading includes clips from his documentary film So Many Miracles\, in which Saul took his parents back to Poland in 1986 to have a reunion with the Polish farmers that had hidden them for two and a half years during the Holocaust.
