Dolores Huerta, who is 80 years old, is the co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America. She worked along side Cesar Chavez in the fight for fair wages and treatment of the people who harvest our crops.

| Kate Clinton Secret Sale for her Friday, September 24th in Boulder! "What's so funny about madness, horror and catastrophe, and ecocide and homophobia? For that matter, what's so funny about being middle-aged, or the agonies and traumas of childhood? What's funny about the Pope? Kate Clinton will tell you! Is it possible to be incredibly funny and at the same time political visionary? Kate Clinton will show you that it's more than possible - by being both! Of course, to do this, to be simultaneously a million laughs and politically super-smart, it helps to be Kate Clinton, and since only one of us is Kate Clinton, since she is unique in all the world, brilliantly, elegantly funny about everything that terrifies us, and since so much terrifies us these days, and since laughing at what scares us emboldens us, my recommendation is that you seize any opportunity that comes your way to hear Kate Clinton. Her new show is maginificent!"

New Monthly Health and Wellness Series at the Boulder Pride House! First Workshop - Wednesday, September 22 at 6:30 pm at the Boulder Pride House (2132 14th St, Boulder). Rob Barber will be bringing a monthly night of health and wellness discussions to Boulder Pride House. It's a great, FREE way to meet other people interested in health. The discussions will focus on a holistic approach to health and wellness by looking at how all the areas of your life are connected.
Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life effect your health as a whole. A health coach (or health counselor) acts as a wellness guide and supportive mentor. Together, we'll discuss how to achieve your goals in areas such as weight management, food cravings, sleep and energy. Through these discussions, we'll develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for you, and help implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.
Rob Barber is a certified holistic health coach. He is also a nationally certified therapeutic massage therapist, registered with the state of Colorado, and a certified kinesio taping practitioner.
September 22- Eating for Energy 6:30pm
October 27- Weigh Less Live More 6:30pm
