SUMMARY:The Crucible by Arthur Miller

What truly caused the fits that were attributed to witchcraft\, we will never really know. What we do know is that 24 people lost their lives\, and many more had their reputations destroyed because these girls accused them of being witches. \nDid they know what they were doing? Did they believe they accusations they were making? Or were they just intoxicated by having power and respect for the first time in their lives? Are these girls villains who knowingly destroyed lives\, or victims of their circumstances? Join us for The Crucible to decide for yourself. \nThe Crucible brings a classic historical story to life with themes that resonate equally with a modern audience. It is beautifully written\, and offers the opportunity for serious dramatic acting and unique interpretation. It’s been such a special experience to develop this show with our cast of young dramatic actors and to explore new depths in theater together \nJoin us to experience this profound and moving experience this May. 2 weekends only\, seats are limited. \nFeaturing Riley Lee as Betty Paris\, Katie Baker as Susanna Walcott\, Neva Lieby as Mary Warren & Jaeli Slaughter as Tituba. \n\n\nTickets: https://www.onthestage.tickets/show/renegade-theater-co/65e244c2f427a30e3f800e3b/tickets

SUMMARY:The Crucible by Arthur Miller
DESCRIPTION:Renegade Theater Co. Presents The Crucible by Arthur Miller\nFriday May 10\, 6pm\nSaturday May 11\, 1pm & 6pm\nFriday May 17\, 6pm\nSaturday May 18\, 1pm & 6pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe afflicted girls of Salem remain a mystery lost to time. What truly caused the fits that were attributed to witchcraft\, we will never really know. What we do know is that 24 people lost their lives\, and many more had their reputations destroyed because these girls accused them of being witches. \nDid they know what they were doing? Did they believe they accusations they were making? Or were they just intoxicated by having power and respect for the first time in their lives? Are these girls villains who knowingly destroyed lives\, or victims of their circumstances? Join us for The Crucible to decide for yourself. \nThe Crucible brings a classic historical story to life with themes that resonate equally with a modern audience. It is beautifully written\, and offers the opportunity for serious dramatic acting and unique interpretation. It’s been such a special experience to develop this show with our cast of young dramatic actors and to explore new depths in theater together \nJoin us to experience this profound and moving experience this May. 2 weekends only\, seats are limited. \nFeaturing Riley Lee as Betty Paris\, Katie Baker as Susanna Walcott\, Neva Lieby as Mary Warren & Jaeli Slaughter as Tituba. \n\n\nTickets: https://www.onthestage.tickets/show/renegade-theater-co/65e244c2f427a30e3f800e3b/tickets

SUMMARY:Mothers Day Fun Run Benefit
DESCRIPTION:Mothers Day Fun Run Benefit\nSunday\, May 12\, 7 – 10:30am \nJoin us for the 40th Annual Mother’s Day Run & Walk\, a fantastic in-person event celebrating moms for the benefit of Pajaro Valley Shelter Services. \n\nPajaro Valley Shelter Services provides families with a path to stable\, self-sufficient futures through short- and longer-term housing and supportive services. \nAbout the Founding of Pajaro Valley Shelter Services. \n\n\n\n“Dear Friends\, \nNewsweek Magazine gave 10 pages to a detailed description of homelessness in America in the January 2nd [1984] issue. There were plenty of stories and some telling statistics. We read it and identified with the struggles of the poor that we experience daily here at the shelter. The hard fact is that each of us can also ‘feel’ the limits of compassion. There is something in us that doesn’t want to hear any more stories of poverty\, hunger and suffering. We know clearly our own limitations and inability to reach out to all. When that happens only our network with other people who care can save us from becoming cold and unfeeling in the midst of suffering. We need to nurture the ‘good Samaritan’ inside of ourselves and know there are others to support our efforts. This is our primary reason for sending you this newsletter. There are always needs in this house\, but our most important link is to the network of ‘good Samaritans’ who keep compassion alive through their support of the poor.” \n– Sr. Marie Veronica Wagner and Sr. Susan Olson\, February 7th\, 1984 \nPajaro Valley Shelter Services was founded in 1983 by Sister Marie Veronica & Catholic Charities in response to the needs of women and children affected by homelessness in Watsonville.

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
