Tuesday, March 3 at 7:00 pm
"Many continue to believe that the United States is a nation of political moderates. In fact, it is a nation divided. It has been so for some time and has grown more so." This talk, based on the author’s book, Polarized: Making Sense of a Divided America, provides a new and historically grounded perspective on the polarization of America, systematically documenting how and why it happened. Join Professor Campbell as he shines a light on the divisions we are experiencing in these turbulent times and offers some solutions.

There's no question that CBD is the buzzy wellness product of the moment. You might feel like CBD has gone from being sort of around to absolutely everywhere all at once. But even though it's infiltrating pretty much every corner of the wellness many people still find CBD a little confusing—especially when it comes to figuring out the right way to use it and how to make sure the stuff you're buying is actually legit. A rep from Wurlitzer Pharmacy will do a presentation that will answer these questions and many more.
This is a potluck luncheon. Please bring a dish to share. Limited to 25. Call 332-4375 to sign up.
