Sunday Speaker Series: In Memory of Sandy Hook...

...Quilters and Graphic Artists Address Gun Violence
On December 14, 2012, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting shook the nation. As we approach the 12th anniversary of the massacre of 20 children and 6 adults, learn about how women quilters have responded to the issue by encouraging gun-violence prevention through their thread art. Also explore how comic strip artists have used their platform in the same way. A fascinating journey through some unique gun-violence prevention efforts.

Nancy Weston combines her love of the craft of quilting with her passion for social justice in a variety of ways through narrated Keynote presentations. As a former high-school teacher and a lifelong learner and educator in a number of diverse settings, Nancy communicates what is often surprising information to her audiences.

We will be meeting at Between the Lines Studio Theatre, 725 N. 15th St., Allentown. [Note: the theater is the two-story building attached to the east side of the larger three-story building. Facing the building from the parking lot, it is to the right. Look for the picture window and the ramp.] Social time will be from 10:30 to 11 AM with the talk starting soon after opening remarks. Those who wish to stay for lunch after the event can join us at a local restaurant to be determined.

Free parking is in the lot directly across from the theatre entrance on Green St. There is no charge for this event, as we strive to make as much of our programming as possible accessible to all. However, donations will be accepted to offset the cost of our regular ongoing expenses. Hope to see you there.
