Death in the National Parks: Who, How, and Why with Author Randi Minetor
Monday, June 2 | 7:00 PM (Virtual)
Why do some people lose their lives in America’s national parks? Randi Minetor, author of seven books in the non-fiction "Death in the National Parks" series, explores the fatal mistakes people make when they venture into unfamiliar wilderness. Some forget critical steps in their preparation, forging off into wild lands far too challenging for their level of experience. Some refuse advice, ignoring warnings from rangers and more seasoned adventurers. Others are simply in the wrong place at the right time, becoming victims of a lightning strike or a falling rock—or ravenous grizzly bears. And some fall prey to other people who set out to kill them. Randi shares highlights of her in-depth research and what it reveals about the people who perish in the parks.

"A History of Women's Work: The Evolution of Women's Working Lives" with Author Janet Few
Thursday, June 12 | 10:00 AM (Virtual)
Please join us as author Janet Few discusses her new book "A History of Women's Work: The Evolution of Women's Working Lives". Delving into three main areas of women’s work: household tasks, home industries, and paid employment outside the home, "A History of Women's Work" encourages us to view how our own contributions to the work force affect our own sense of self and effect on the world at large. It also asks us to look back and see the profound impact women have had on the "working" world - stories that should not be lost to the annals of time.
