DESCRIPTION:The White Album Ensemble\, Abridged\, with Revolver\nMonday\, December 30\, 8pm –  11:30pm  \n\n\n\nThe White Album Ensemble has been performing the quirky double album “The Beatles” official name. It was never designed to be a “live” group of songs\, but we did it for 20 years\, often sell outs.

We will utilize a string quartet\, and a horn section\, to “not cheat” on the accuray\, alowing room for the group to express their musicianship\, without rearranging the songs. A lovely local tradition\, and wonderful Xmas present! history- It began as a Luthier’s dream\, to put together a crack team of top local musicians to perform the Beatles’ “White Album” live\, in a theatre setting with lights\, dance and a full-screen video presentation. After selling out both debut shows and creating a considerable buzz around town\, the word of mouth from neighbors\, friends and co-workers about the quality and vibe of the performance persuaded the group to keep on doing more concerts. \nAfter six more sold out performances\, including the Rio Center for the Performing Arts in Santa Cruz\, Ca\, and the Henry Mello Center\, the group decided (rather ambitiously) to add another show\, Rubber Revolver\, performing the Beatles’ Rubber Soul and Revolver albums\, along with the four singles that were released concurrently (“We can work it out” and “Day Tripper” were released with Rubber Soul; “Rain” and “Paperback Writer” with Revolver). No small task\, as many considered these to be the peak of creativity for the most popular group in history. \nOnce the “mission” was established\, it became impossible to stop- performing post-touring era ( they stopped touring in 1966\, at Candlestick park in San Francisco) Beatles recordings live\, with real instruments\, and no tapes. Wherever possible they began using horns\, strings\, Indian instruments\, additional background vocalists or whatever it takes to recreate the many overdubs which are the records’ sound and feel. \nThere is an attitude when approaching this task of “What would the Beatles do\, if they performed this song live?” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShow time: 8:00 PM\, doors 7:00 PM\nTickets: $37.50 Gen\, $47.50 Gold Circle\nAdvance tickets: www.tix.com\nEvent Website: www.whitealbumensemble.com

SUMMARY:Postpartum Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Postpartum Support International\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW SUPPORT GROUP!\n\n\n\nPostpartum Psychosis (PPP) is rare. It occurs in approximately 1 to 2 out of every 1\,000 deliveries.  After a PPP survivor’s symptoms have been stabilized\, peer support can be an important tool for recovery. Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders\, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor.  In response\, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis).   Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago\, you are welcome to attend our free\, online peer-to-peer support group.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here: https://www.postpartum.net/…/psi-online-support-meetings/\nFull Meeting Schedule

SUMMARY:READ program with Ziggy the mini
DESCRIPTION:READ program with Ziggy the mini\nOne hour Sessions\, 1pm and 2pm\, on Saturday and Sunday afternoons\, beginning  November 30 and December 1\n \nREAD program (Reading Equine Art Duo) with Ziggy the mini was designed to strengthen reading skills in a fun\, creative way. Students experience nature\, art\, and animals in a relaxed\, calming environment. \nFrom this\, Lisa (a Reading Specialist with 25+ years of experience) works with students to build and develop strong reading skills such as: phonemic awareness\, phonics\, fluency\, vocabulary development\, and reading comprehension. \nSince reading is a gateway to accessing information\, students will likely improve in all subject areas. \nIn addition\, their self esteem will begin to soar as they gain confidence with each reading session. \nLastly\, Ziggy’s adorable\, gentleness is just too cute for words. Students will fall in love with him at first sight. So\, come join the fun and learn is a holistic way with Ziggy and Lisa 🙂 \n\nWhere: READ program is currently hosted at a ranch in Watsonville.  Also we will be visiting libraries\, schools\, hospitals\, and nursing homes soon!  Ziggy Stardust is our dwarf miniature horse and he loves reading with all age levels.     \nLisa is also available to visit your horse(s) and READ with them!  This social/mental stimulation provides an overall sense of well-being.  They love it; see video How tab for evidence.  😉 \n\n\n\n\nWhen: For availability\, more information and directions\, text Lisa at (831) 227-9847
