CHIA SEED PETS ... CH-CH-CH-CHIA

CHIA SEED PETS...THURSDAY, MARCH 23RD @ 6:30PM 

Chia Pet | Chia pet, Dog gifs, Cute dogs (this isn't it...just thought it was funny)

 

National Chia Day!

There’s something so nostalgic about chia seed pets! When I was a kid, I always wanted a chia pet but my parents would never buy one for me.  They thought they were a waste of money. The best part about this activity is how it brings reality to such a simple and fun concept: growing seeds to make grassy hair.

This will be a fun and simple activity for the kids on National Chia Day. Kids love to plant seeds and watch them grow – maybe the kids will want to plant a vegetable garden this year? If you don’t have room for a garden, this is a great project for the kids. This is the perfect opportunity to teach them how to appreciate Earth a little more, too!

 

 PLEASE REGISTER BELOW FOR THE CHIA SEED PET PROGRAM...THANKS!

Munch & Learn Benjamin Franklin's Last Bet..Author Michael Meyer

THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN SWITCHED FROM APRIL 12TH

 

Benjamin Franklin’s Last Bet: The Favorite Founder’s Divisive Death, Enduring Afterlife, and Blueprint for American Prosperity Author, Michael Meyer 

April 12 in the Library or Board Room 

The incredible story of Benjamin Franklin’s parting gift to the working-class people of Boston and Philadelphia—a deathbed wager that captures the Founder’s American Dream and his lessons for our current, conflicted age.

Benjamin Franklin was not a gambling man. But at the end of his illustrious life, the Founder allowed himself a final wager on the survival of the United States: a gift of two thousand pounds to Boston and Philadelphia, to be lent out to tradesmen over the next two centuries to jump-start their careers. Each loan would be repaid with interest over ten years. If all went according to Franklin’s inventive scheme, the accrued final payout in 1991 would be a windfall. 

In Benjamin Franklin’s Last Bet, Michael Meyer traces the evolution of these twin funds as they age alongside America itself, bankrolling woodworkers and silversmiths, trade schools and space races. Over time, Franklin’s wager was misused, neglected, and contested—but never wholly extinguished. With charm and inquisitive flair, Meyer shows how Franklin’s stake in the “leather-apron” class remains in play to this day, and offers an inspiring blueprint for prosperity in our modern era of growing wealth disparity and social divisions.

Michael’s book can be purchased on Amazon or your local book store for $15.99.

Munch & Learn The Mount Washington Transit Tunnel Disaster Author Mary Jane Kuffner Hirt

The Mount Washington Transit Tunnel Disaster Author Mary Jane Kuffner Hirt 

April 26 in the Community Center 

On Christmas Eve 1917, an overcrowded, out-of-control streetcar exited the Mount Washington tunnel, crashing into pedestrians. Twenty-three were killed and more than eighty injured in the worst transit incident in Pittsburgh history. The crash scene on Carson Street was chaotic as physicians turned the railway offices into a makeshift hospital and bystanders frantically sought to remove the injured and strewn bodies from the wreckage. Most of the victims, many women and children, were from the close-knit neighborhoods of Knoxville, Beltzhoover and Mount Oliver. In the aftermath, public outrage over the tragedy led to criminal prosecution, civil suits and the bankruptcy of the Pittsburgh Railways Company, which operated the service. Author Mary Jane Kuffner Hirt explores the tragic history of the Mount Washington transit tunnel disaster.
