SHINING LIGHTS: WOMEN WRITING SCIENCE
Please join us this fall for a series of programs which explore the craft of writing science in ways that enlighten, engage and elucidate. The speakers are some of our local scientists, science writers and poets, who will talk about their current work, how they came to their careers, and how they seek to engage the public in what are sometimes complex and specialized areas in various science disciplines.
We are planning four programs, each focusing on one of the genres of writing and disciplines noted below along with exhibits of science themed books.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 6-until, Annual HARVEST DINNER
This annual event will be, as always, a benefit on behalf of The Living Room, the wonderful women’s daytime shelter in Santa Rosa.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED: To reserve your spot, email boxcar@sonic.net no later than Oct. 23 (act soon as this event usually sells out) or telephone J.J. Wilson at 707 795-9028, if you have questions. We will have a bucket for your checks made out to The Living Room (tax deductible) and a depository for sample unopened shampoos, etc. , as well as other desirables. Visit The Living Room website (thelivingroomsc.org) to see what they can use.
The menu will be simple. We plan to feature a choice of harvest soups along with assemble-it-yourself bacon (optional), lettuce, and fried green tomato sandwiches. And then there are the desserts! From Karen’s famous poached pears and J.J.’s cheesecake to Eloise’s lemon bars, etc. Wine is served (unlike our usual temperance policy) and there is homemade entertainment: this year you can expect dramatic readings from some of J.J.’s cross country travel narratives with different co-drivers who will add their own commentary.
