History Talk: The Evergreen State in World War I @ Westport Timberland Library
Mar 25 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Historian Lorraine McConaghy will begin the program with an illustrated introduction to the war’s themes. Following that, guests may participate in a scripted “Readers’ Theater,” designed to portray the turmoil of the years 1914 – 1919.  The script is drawn from first-person sources such as letters, diaries and news paper stories. It allows modern readers to speak aloud the words of a past generation, and gain an sense of how Washingtonians of that era experienced the great social, economic and political changes: industrialization, immigration, women’s rights, radical labor, epidemic disease, and worldwide turmoil.

Talk: A Cheapskate’s Road Map to Happiness @ Aberdeen Timberland Library
Apr 15 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Jeff Yeager is “the Ultimate Cheapskate.” NBC TODAY Show’s Matt Lauer said so. Even before becoming a darling of national media, when he ran nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C., Yeager was famous for skinny budgets and impressive outcomes. In those days he called himself a “Titan of Tightwads.” 
Yeager has created a lifestyle that allowed him to retire at age 46.  He continues to live a rich, happy life, doing exactly what he wants to do. Thank goodness he loves to share his secrets with the rest of us.
