Often portrayed as some kind of all-purpose boogeyman, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives (DEI) are practical methods to improve the lives of a wide range of Americans from all walks of life. In this presentation, led by Dang Yang, participants will explore the more nuanced themes and foundational ideas surrounding DEI. By demystifying the ideas beyond misleading labels and inaccurate portrayals, participants will learn DEI's purpose, its impact, and its future. A moderated audience Q&A will follow the presentation. REGISTRATION REQUIRED at https://lephillips.librarycalendar.com/event/demystifying-dei-35463

ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Throughout Dang Yang's professional career he has served as a researcher, trainer, practitioner, and a collaborator within DEI leadership roles in educational organizations such as UW-Stout, CVTC, UW-Eau Claire, Marshfield Clinic, and the Eau Claire Area School District. His community advocacy in Eau Claire is of great interest to him, where he recently served as the Co-Chair of the City of Eau Claire's BIPOC Steering Committee and as the City's newly formed EDI Commission.

AN EVENING WITH GARRISON KEILLOR BENEFITTING TILT

Garrison Keillor: If you're over about 50, you already know that Garrison is arguably the finest American humorist of the century, still having fun telling stories and bringing laughter and song to audiences. If you're younger, he's a brilliant humorist, author of many books and for about 40 years the creator of the Prairie Home Companion radio variety show and the inventor of Lake Woebegon the imaginary town in central Minnesota that's been lost in a map fold.

This performance is entirely to fund programs in Uganda to develop [independent] economic, nutritional, and social thriving of communities in northwest Uganda's Nebbi District. These are devised by local NGOs and supported by the nonprofit 501c3, Transforming Individual Lives Today, Inc., (TILT). This was founded by a Vermont attorney for the programs that she began; after the accidental death of Alec Johnson in 2014, she passed its management to his family to continue the work he'd begun there.
www.tilt.eco is its web site, where you can read in detail about its economic and educational programs. It has supported scholarships for more than 100 students; it works with local farmers to teach improved farming and economic practices, it has created a program to teach adolescent girls to sew their own menstrual pads, providing materials and sewing machines in dorms -- the pads project.
Its overall goal is to build community relationships through economic cooperatives -- Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) by which TILT's programs are carried out.

An evening of music at 2 roots

https://www.facebook.com/events/1514225326200516/

Hailing from the pines of Northern Wisconsin, Nick began playing guitar at 15. From early on, his songs have shown a connection to the blues, soul, and rock n' roll.

Now, with more than 20 years of experience, Nick continues to work as a guitar for hire, but spends most of his time getting his own music heard. As his solo act moves around the Midwest growing momentum, he also focuses on the Nick Foytik Band, catching the ears of their audiences anywhere they go.

Whether you're seeing Nick solo or with his band, you're always in for a unique and quality performance.
