SUMMARY:Tea and Revolution: Women's Role in the War of Independence\, 18+YRS
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what the Founding Mothers did to help America win their independence from Britain? The American Revolutionary war wasn’t fought just by the men. Women had a huge impact on the outcome of the war. They fulfilled many roles that were a major contribution to winning the War of Independence\, from setting up a national boycott on British goods to working as spies\, scouts and even a few as soldiers. Tames brings to life many of these extraordinary women whose\, cunning\, courage\, and creativity helped win the war and shape our country. \nIn the first half of this program\, Tames’ clothing\, made from patriotic wool and linen\, reflects the hundreds of women who took an active role in the War of Independence. It was a woman who the founding fathers trusted to print the Declaration of Independence with all of their signatures\, and it was a woman who disguised those taking part in the Boston Tea Party. Many more worked as spies\, scouts and even a few as soldiers. They helped prisoners escape\, and defended their property. \nIn the second part of this program Tames changes into an imported printed cotton gown and talks about the women who did fund raising and kept their farms and businesses running\, as well as organizing for food and supplies to get to the ever-moving Continental army. These women refused to accept the limitations placed on them based on their gender. Motivated by their desire to help America become an independent nation\, they went above and beyond to help in any way they could\, and often in surprising and ingenious ways.

SUMMARY:Death Cafe Conversation\, 13+ YRS
DESCRIPTION:In a Death Cafe there’s no set agenda or speaker\, just an informal\, respectful space to share stories\, ask questions\, and discuss the sometimes difficult topic of mortality in a way that brings connection and insight. Participants often find relief and understanding\, allowing conversations about death to enrich and affirm their lives. Parental discretion is advised for attendees under 18 as the content of these discussions is mature. \nSouthern Oregon Living and Dying Alliance (SOLADA) encourages open and honest discussions about the human experience of living and dying\, and its relationship to love and grief. Our goal is to help create compassionate\, caring communities that support individuals\, families\, and organizations during the transitions that accompany the dying process. Facilitators Ellen & Hayriya will hold the space and help the conversation flow. Ellen of Beatha Doula Services is a Life Doula who helps people with the transitions of birth\, death\, and life. Hayriya is the owner of Compassionate Care of Choice. She serves as a death doula\, consultant and educator in Southern Oregon\, and the driving force behind the creation of SOLADA.

SUMMARY:Business Network Meetup: Are you in a Cash Gap?
DESCRIPTION:Most business owners have had this moment. The books look fine. Revenue is up. And somehow the bank account feels tighter than it should. It’s not a profitability problem. It’s a cash gap — and almost every owner-operated business has one. \nIn this session\, Donna Hutchings will explain exactly why it happens\, using plain language that doesn’t require an accounting background. You’ll leave understanding something fundamental about how your business works financially — and with two simple habits you can start this week to see your cash position more clearly. No accounting background required. \nDonna Hutchings is a Fractional CFO and business advisor who works exclusively with owner-operated businesses. She is the founder of Vintner CFO (https://vintnercfo.com/) and creator of The Winery Owner’s Financial Playbook. \nGenerously funded by the Oregon Community Foundation and Jackson County Library Foundation\, in partnership with A Greater Applegate. \nThis event will take place at: \nLindsay Lodge\n15100 OR-238\nApplegate\, OR 97530 \nRSVP: https://jcls.libcal.com/event/17010120

SUMMARY:How Should Oregon Address the Climate Crisis? (SOCAN General Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:For several years\, Oregon climate activists and sympathetic state legislators promoted comprehensive greenhouse gas proposals known as Cap and Trade or Cap and Invest. These proposals sought to impose a declining cap on statewide emissions of greenhouse gases\, while generating pollution proceeds to be invested in clean energy projects statewide\, particularly in economically disadvantaged communities. \nLegislative cap and invest proposals failed year after year largely as a result of resistance from Republican legislators who thwarted all legislative action by walking out of the legislature to deny a quorum. Finally\, in 2020\, Governor Kate Brown issued Executive Order (EO) 20-04 charging state agencies with developing programs within their authority that would achieve the goals of the failed legislative proposals. After much resistance from the same forces opposing Cap and Trade\, this EO ultimately resulted in the development of a Climate Protection Program (CPP) that placed the state on a meaningful emissions reduction trajectory. \nAs the CPP has finally been taking effect\, the same forces who resisted both past legislative Cap and Trade and the CPP are proposing to reconsider and reintroduce a legislative Cap and Trade proposal that would replace the CPP. Given the source of this proposal\, many climate concerned Oregonians are quite skeptical of this effort. However\, if such a program allowed Oregon to link with the Washington and California cap and trade programs\, this could be beneficial. What are the tradeoffs\, and what is the best path forward for Oregon? \nNora Apter\, Oregon Director of Climate Solutions\, has been deeply engaged in CPP implementation for many years and closely tracking efforts to consider a legislative replacement of the program for some months. Nora will join us via zoom at our August monthly meeting to help us understand exactly what is involved and help us decide how we should respond to these discussions. \nSOCAN’s next General Meeting will be Tuesday\, August 25th at the Medford Public Library from 6:00 – 7:30 pm. The program will involve Nora Apter discussing the history of cap and invest in Oregon\, where the idea for replacing the Climate Protection Program with a legislative framework comes from\, how it’s progressing\, and key considerations and policy parameters. \nSOCAN’s general meetings are free and open to the public. There is no charge for attending. More information is available at: https://socan.eco/events/ \nGuests wishing to view the zoom program should contact alan@socan.eco. \nThis meeting is not sponsored nor endorsed by Jackson County Library Services.
