The Future Remembered
Becker & Stein:
The Future Remembered
Thurs, Apr. 12, 7:30 PM

Officially named Century 21 Exposition, the fair drew 10 million visitors and even made a little money - remarkable success for an event staged in a little-known, geographically isolated city. But behind the commerce and entertainment was a larger vision. The civic leaders, businessmen, and publicists who made the fair a success were determined that when the lights went out and the tourists went home Seattle would be left with much-needed civic center. In the half-century since the fair, Seattle Center has become the artistic and cultural hub of the region - the remarkable legacy of a fondly remembered six months of fun long ago.

Corning - The Fair Society
Peter Corning: The Fair Society
Sun., Apr. 15, 3 PM

We've been told, again and again, that life is unfair. But what if we're wrong simply to resign ourselves to this situation? What if we have the power-and more, the duty-to change society for the better?

We do. And our very nature inclines us to do so. That's the provocative argument Corning makes in The Fair Society: The Science of Human Nature and the Pursuit of Social Justice. Drawing on the evidence from our evolutionary history and the emergent science of human nature, Corning shows that we have an innate sense of fairness. While these impulses can easily be subverted by greed and demagoguery, they can also be harnessed for good. Corning proposes a sweeping set of economic and political reforms based on three principles of fairness-equality, equity, and reciprocity-that together could transform our society and our world.

BooksBook Group Night
Thurs., Apr. 19, 7 PM

Open to both both current book group members and folks looking to join or start book groups. And, save 20% on some book group favorites!

Breaking Through ConcreteHanson & Hanson: Breaking Through Concrete
Sun., Apr. 22, 3 PM

Celebrate Earth Day with a book that celebrates our connection with the soil!

People have always grown food in urban spaces-on windowsills and sidewalks, and in backyards and neighborhood parks-but today, urban farmers are leading an environmental and social movement that transforms our national food system. To explore this agricultural renaissance, brothers David and Michael Hanson and urban farmer Edwin Marty document twelve successful urban farm programs, from an alternative school for girls in Detroit, to a backyard food swap in New Orleans, to a restaurant supply garden on a rooftop in Brooklyn. A Seattle garden is featured also. Each beautifully illustrated essay offers practical advice for budding farmers, such as composting and keeping livestock in the city, decontaminating toxic soil, even changing zoning laws. Bainbridge farmers will enjoy this volume!

World Book Night 2012
Celebrate World Book Night
Mon., Apr. 23, 5 PM

Come join us for a celebration of World Book Night! Local authors, including David Guterson, chef/writer Greg Atkinson, Nancy Rekow, Barbara Winther, and more will be here.

Come learn more about this effort to bring books -- for free -- to thousands of people around the United States, including here on Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap. And get ready to sign up for next year!

Ed Moydell, Executive Director of the Bloedel Reserve, will speak briefly at 6pm. Come join the garden party! Support the library in its 50th anniversary year! 

Down John's Road
John R. Olson: Down John"s Road
Sun., Apr. 29, 3 PM

In the rush of modern life, in the chaos of a world that is often in crisis, where can you find peace of mind? Constance Sidles finds it in nature. If, like her, you're searching for a haven that gives you respite from care and grants you hope for the future, then come with her as she takes you on a journey into the wilds of a natural area set in the heart of a big city: the Montlake Fill in Seattle.

Russia Old & NewTravelogue: Russia Old & New
Wed., Apr. 18, 7:30 PM 

 

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the modern world has gradually infiltrated Russia, the greatest influence occurring during the past ten years. Most changes have come to people who live in cities and towns: the growth of a market economy, the influence of the West in music, art, food and fashion, the emergence of a middle class and the freedom to exchange ideas. However, old ways still exist, mainly in the countryside where people's lives remain untouched by the changes or they prefer to ignore them.

Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce Email Policy

Although we make mailing address labels of our members available at a small fee to our membership, we do not sell or rent our email list to anyone. Also, one of the reasons we use the Constant Contact email service is because we share their commitment to reducing spam emails.

Please be aware that if you click on "SafeUnsubscribe" below, your email will be permanently removed from our main list, and you will not receive any of our various email publications, or email communications to members, event exhibitors, etc.

To unsubscribe from one or more particular publications, please use the "Update Profile/Email Address" link below and indicate only the publications you no longer wish to receive. That way, your email will remain in our main list. 
 
If you choose SafeUnsubscribe, Constant Contact prevents us from re-activating your email address. If you later wish to subscribe to one or more of our publications, go to our home page and fill out the form on the bottom right of the screen to re-subscribe.
