We are having a fundraiser with raffles, games and grand prizes to win! Food and drinks will be available. Our fundraiser is for a non-profit organization that takes in retired race horses, older horses and horses with medical needs to keep them from being euthanized. Funding is needed to help with the costs of housing, maintenance, medical needs and nutrition to maintain the sanctuary. Our yearly fundraiser is usually at the sanctuary but due to a tornado tearing down our big arena barn, we are having it in Green Bay instead this year. We hope many, many people will come from many different counties, with us having raffle prizes donated from many different counties. We need lots of help this year, so we hope to see a lot of people come!

Productive Disagreement: How to Engage and When to Walk Away
From politics and social media to our workplaces and personal relationships, disagreements are inevitable. Can we find ways to disagree productively? Is it worth the effort? While it's important to learn how to disagree in healthy, constructive ways, it's equally important to recognize that not every conflict deserves a conversation. Together with Mauthe program director Robert Pyne, UWGB professors Jennie Young and Ryan Martin will explore how to know when disagreements are worth engaging, and how to approach those interactions with healthy curiosity. They will also discuss ways to disengage when healthy boundaries seem to be the better choice. Dr. Ryan Martin (aka the Anger Professor) is an expert on emotional wellness and anger management. He helps people master emotional challenges and harness the power of emotions—especially anger—for personal growth and success. His work focuses on delivering practical, research-backed strategies through clear, direct, and actionable advice. Martin is the author of …

On Thursday, September 10, Doug Zoerb—the Manitowoc County coordinator for the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program—will be presenting a tax tips for seniors program in Manitowoc Public Library's Balkansky Community Room from 10-11:30 AM. During last tax season, Doug and his team (a small group of volunteers that prepare tax returns free of charge at both the Manitowoc and Two Rivers Senior Centers) consistently noticed several common—and avoidable—mistakes that cost seniors on their taxes. Additionally, there are several new deductions that will directly help seniors next year, but they need to act now. Doug's presentation will focus on this pertinent information, followed by a brief Q&A session. Please note that while Doug will be able to take on general questions, he can't answer questions on individual tax situations as there are too many factors involved for an informational program such as this.

Hailed as a “masterpiece” by the Chicago Sun-Times, CARMEN.maquia is a Picasso-inspired contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic from the famed – and familiar to Fox Cities audiences – Ballet Hispánico dance company.
The physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble and flamenco. A stunning set design by Luis Crespo and minimalist black-and-white costumes by fashion designer David Delfin evoke the paintings of Pablo Picasso. Highly original and full of elaborate partnering, CARMEN.maquia is a bold and electrifying reimagining of this tragic tale.

COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE.
Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always.
HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

The Accidental Hero
What began as a forgotten manuscript in a basement became a story that transcends borders and generations.
Patrick Dewane’s grandfather, Lt. Col. Matt Konop, led the unit that liberated Southwestern Czechoslovakia in 1945—unaware that he was stepping into the very region his ancestors had emigrated from. Speaking the native Czech dialect, he was hailed by the townspeople as a liberator “from among us.” Today, his name appears on a monument in the Czech Republic, and his image hangs on plaques both abroad and in his hometown of Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
Patrick transformed this remarkable legacy into a one-man multimedia performance that has captivated audiences across the U.S. and Europe.
