The theme for the month--in recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day/Columbus Day—Discoveries and Explorations! Feel free to interpret the theme in the broadest possible way. Discoveries can be joyful or dismaying, hilarious or heartbreaking; explorations may be exciting, desperate, or just plain terrifying. (Halloween is coming!) Bring historical, personal, family, or traditional tales.

Come and put your name in the hat to share a 5-minute story, or just come to listen. Bring a brown-bag lunch if you wish; we’ll provide beverages.
