CinemaWest Rheem Theatre & Giant Screen

Don't miss a ONE DAY only screening of Loving Karma at the Rheem Theater in Moraga on October 18 at 3 pm. This documentary has won several film festival awards and is the follow up to an Emmy-award winning short film. In the Himalayan foothills, a former monk has built a community for children who have endured abandonment and neglect and the film focuses on the fundamental question of what happens when suffering meets compassion. It's a powerful story of resilience, healing, and the impact of compassion in action. It's truly not to be missed and is a lesson for us all. Includes Q&amp;A with producers (in person) and community founder (via zoom). Tickets found here: https://jhamtse.org/loving-karma/.&nbsp;

Lafayette Veterans Memorial Center

Join us at the Restore Hetch Hetchy Annual Dinner, Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 6:00 PM for an unforgettable evening celebrating the cultural heritage of Hetch Hetchy, the artistry of Yosemite’s master weavers, and the ongoing vision for restoration. Hosted at the Lafayette Veterans Memorial Center; this is an immersive celebration.

These women are acclaimed artists, educators, and cultural stewards whose work has helped preserve and share Indigenous traditions across generations. Dr. Julia Parker, a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship, has spent decades teaching and demonstrating the artistry of traditional basketry—vessels that carry the knowledge, stories, and values of ancestors while inspiring future generations. Her daughter, Lucy Parker, is an accomplished weaver and advocate who works closely with national parks, public agencies, and land management organizations to promote the protection of traditional homelands, cultural resources, and Indigenous stewardship practices. Their extraordinary baskets are featured in museums and private collections throughout the world.We invite you and your guests to join us for this memorable evening, beginning with a cocktail reception and silent auction featuring a curated collection of fine basketry, handmade flutes, books, photography, and one-of-a-kind experiences. Guests will then enjoy a dinner showcasing organic, seasonal, and thoughtfully crafted cuisine.&nbsp;&nbsp;The evening’s program will also feature music by Grammy-nominated artist Aaron White (Northern Ute, Diné), culminating in a special presentation by our Guests of Honor, Dr. Julia Parker and Lucy Parker.
Through their stories, artistry, and deep connection to the land, they will share insights into Yosemite’s living cultural heritage and the enduring legacy of the Hetch Hetchy Valley. We hope you will join us for this inspiring celebration of culture, history, artistry, and stewardship.&nbsp;
