We’ve raised our families in these special places\, especially Sunset State Beach just west of our farm\,” said Stuart Kitayama\, retired operations manager at Kitayama Brothers Farms and a Friends board member. “Providing support so future generations can experience the magic of state parks is important to us.” \nThis is the 13th year Kitayama Brothers Farms will celebrate the Gerbera Festival. The event was not held in 2020 due to the pandemic but was reimagined in 2021 as the wildly popular Gerbera-N-Go. Flowers have sold out the last two years\, raising thousands of dollars to support local state parks and beaches. \n“Our shared appreciation of local state parks and beaches — and belief in providing access for all — is at the heart of our relationship with Kitayama Brothers Farms\,” Friends Executive Director Bonny Hawley said. “We are grateful for KB Farms’ longstanding commitment to the Gerbera Festival and appreciate this year’s focus on raising funds to support field trips to local state parks and beaches.” \nGerbera daisies are bright\, colorful flowers with large blooms and strong stems. Kitayama Brothers Farms cultivates nearly 20 varieties in shades of red\, pink\, orange\, yellow and white\, with centers that are green\, cream or dark brown.  \nAbout Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks – Established in 1976\, Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks (Friends) is a vital partner with California State Parks\, creatively working to ensure our cherished local parks and beaches are thriving and available to all.

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:Nevertheless She Persisted: the Daughters of Hypatia\, a Mathematical Herstory
DESCRIPTION:Nevertheless She Persisted: The Daughters of Hypatia\, a Mathematical Herstory\nFriday\, April 21\, 7:30pm; Saturday\, April 22\, 7:30pm; \nStudent matinees\, Friday\, April 21 9:30am and 11am \nPart of National Dance Week\, a dance concert celebrating important women mathematicians throughout the ages\, and their struggles to create groundbreaking mathematics. \nDedicated to the foremothers of mathematics as well as to their leading contemporaries\, this exciting six-woman dance concert celebrates great mathematical women throughout the ages\, telling their stories with playful dances\, dynamic storytelling\, colorful projections\, surprising audience interactions\, and more. The dancers recount intriguing stories from the women’s lives and perform dynamic dances inspired by their mathematical work. A new dance work\, “KiloGirl\,” uses ordinary sheets of paper as a prop as it salutes the thousands of unheralded women who worked with pencil and paper to break codes in World War II\, supported the space program with important mathematical calculations\, and helped found the computer industry. \nThe historical sections of the show are drawn together by dances exploring circular motifs\, suggesting the circles of collegiality and connection that have supported women in this field. Often self-taught\, women have made marvelous mathematical discoveries\, despite being denied access to the field and having their accomplishments downplayed. \nThe earliest known female mathematician was Hypatia\, a leading intellectual in ancient Alexandria who was murdered by a mob. Later mathematicians disguised their identities: Émilie du Châtelet dressed as a man to attend lectures\, Sophie Germain published under a male pseudonym\, and Emmy Noether gave lectures under the name of a male colleague. Their stories are sobering\, yet inspiring. \nThe varied repertory makes use of live projection of video mosaics of dancers\, feature tessellation designs by Marjorie Rice\, include guest choreography by sarah-marie belcastro (lower case)\, a skit by Sue Geller\, and use musical compositions by Zambra\, Vi Hart\, and Victor Spiegel. Also in the concert are a surprising trio for six hands and “Tottle Bop\,” a rhythm dance using plastic water bottles. Featured mathematicians include Hypatia\, Maria Agnesi\, Émilie du Châtelet\, Sophie Germain\, Sonya Kovaleskya\, Mary Somerville\, Marjorie Rice\, Emmy Noether\, Vivienne Malone-Mayes\, and sarah-marie belcastro. \nAdmission: $20 general\, $16 students and seniors\, tickets at https://tinyurl.com/Hypatia2023.\nStudent matinees: contact us for reservation and ticket information.\nMore information and background: https://tinyurl.com/2023HypatiaInfo.\nContact: 831-480-5114 or DanceAndMath@gmail.com. \nText and choreography by Karl Schaffer\, guest choreography and performance by sarah-marie belcastro\, choreographic and text contributions by the dancers. Additional text adapted from script by Sue Geller. Music by Zambra\, Vi Hart\, Victor Spiegel. Tessellation designs by Marjorie Rice. Video mosaic software by Kevin Lee. Photos by Steve DiBartolomeo. \nMove Speak Spin  http://www.mathdance.org/ \nSupported by funding from the Arts Council Santa Cruz County and the California Arts Council.  Brochure: https://go.evvnt.com/1641737-2?pid=10427 \nGeneral Admission: $20.00
