Monday Morning Memo - 6.30.2025
Wider Horizons Events and Information
Our 10th Anniversary is set for Thursday, September 18, 3-7 pm at the Northwest African American Museum, 2300 S. Massachusetts Ave. Please confirm your attendance to me! Delights include the Museum’s incredible exhibits, including the black and white photography of Spider Martin, Selma is Now, which provides a rich opportunity for remembering the defining movement of our generation (I wept when I viewed it): NAAM | Selma is Now Exhibit; as well as our own exciting program, and the opportunity for some dancing and connecting with new and old friends. I can arrange a ride for you…and the facility is very accessible.
Women’s Coffee this Wednesday, July 2 at 10:30 am at the home of Kristin Tregillus, 2722 S 31st Street. A local landmark is Franklin High School. Kristin is hoping we can gather in her garden, and also hopes the weather will cooperate……so, wear hats! She will provide coffee and tea and invites you to bring fruit or other goodies to share.
Men’s Coffee this Wednesday, July 2 at 10:30 am: Michael Kischner will welcome men for lively conversation and good coffee at Ada's Technical Books, 425 15th Av E.
Thursday morning’s All-Member Zoom is happening, per usual, this Thursday, July 3 at 9:30 am. Sue Lerner will send out the link and questions on Wednesday.
Sunday Arboretum Walk, Sunday, July 6. Meet at Dick Zerbe at 9 am at the Arboretum’s Graham Visitors Center.
Happy Hour at Jimmy’s (corner of Broadway and Madison) on Sunday, July 6, 4 pm. Call me if you’d like to come but have never been. I have parking guidance.
If you intended to RSVP for the Monday, July 14 Emergency Preparedness Gathering at David and Jannie Spain’s Capitol Hill home, but forgot to do so, it’s not too late. Let me know.
Sharing
Last week we shared the link from the NPR program about Eric Johnson about his husband Dennis’s death. Here is a link to a somewhat longer text: https://www.npr.org/2025/06/23/nx-s1-5438553/a-kind-no-nonsense-nurse-helped-a-couple-prepare-for-death
