Does Grammar Drive You Crazy?
Find out about a new teaching method that makes grammar easy and fun for everyone–kids to adults. Marian Anders’ goal is to someday revolutionize the way grammar is taught in the US and take the misery and the mystery out of a subject that many students dislike.

Free Food
Over 3,500 women are released from NC prisons each year. We are creating Benevolence Farm, a farm-based nonprofit that will serve some of these women, the community where the farm is based, as well as the local communities to which the women will eventually return. This presentation will discuss how this idea emerged, how it continues to evolve, and some of the fabulous help we’ve received along the way so far.
