Vera-Ellen Dances into The Golden Age of Musicals (Hybrid)

In each Native American nation there exists the most unique and honored people, the medicine men and medicine women. The objects they use to direct healing energies are functional and profoundly beautiful. These tools are carved, beaded, painted, and adorned with intricately woven and dyed porcupine needles, fur, leather, and feathers of hummingbirds and eagles. They are considered to be "alive." Some objects exist only for hours while others have lived for centuries. Artist Ann Leslie explores this wide array of rare objects from the First People. &nbsp;NSSC Members $15 / Non-Members $20

YMCA Education Series (Y.E.S): How Will You Pay for Long-Term Care?

As it has done each year in the past, the United States officially commemorated Holocaust Days of Remembrance honoring the six million Jews and millions of others who were killed by the Nazis from 1933 to 1945. For the American GIs who liberated Dachau and Buchenwald, the horrors they uncovered in the Nazi concentration camps far outweighed anything they experienced on the battlefield. These brave soldiers recall what it was like to liberate these camps in their letters and photos shared with John Ulferts, author of Always Remember: World War II through Veterans' Eyes.NSSC Members $15 / Non-Members $20
