Author Event With Edward Arenson, M.D. (Feathers in the Wind)

Lindsay Thompson — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 21:30:00 +0000

Join Dr. Edward Arenson for an escape from the “sound and fury” of daily life into the natural world with excerpts from his new book: “Feather’s in the Wind.” Light refreshments provided. No registration is required.

When Dr. Edward Arenson took up birding during pediatric training, he had no idea where it would lead. When he began writing down his experiences, he hoped the process would offer a greater understanding of his passion for birding, and, in due course, himself. His “wild goose chases” to seek new birds were an adventurous respite from the challenging routines of a neuro-oncologist.

The testimony of his many and diverse experiences as a birder “of limited skill but high motivation” serves as an autobiography of sorts, representing a counterpoint to a life as a physician, husband, and parent.

Talks & Docs Feature Film: Corpus Christi

Lindsay Thompson — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 21:30:00 +0000

Join us for our feature film: Corpus Christi (2019) in celebration of Polish Heritage Month!

20-year-old Daniel is released from a Warsaw prison and sent to a remote village. One quick lie allows him to be mistaken for the town’s new priest, and he sets about leading his newfound flock. Though he has no training, his passion and charisma inspire the community. At the same time, his unconventional sermons and unpriestly behavior raise suspicions among some of the townsfolk – even more so as he edges towards a dark secret that the community hasn’t revealed in the confessional booth
