LUNCH & LEARN

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 AT 10:30 A.M.

Spend a wonderful morning listening to the author of "Still Laughing, Still Learning (Still Looking for a Good Title)". In his first book, Bill Chadwick touches on an array of topics, from warm fuzzies and terrors of parenting, and gives us a peek behind the scenes of a pastor’s life. He is also a husband, dad, biker, cross-country skier, story-teller and a stand-up comic. Through tears and laughter you will hear stories about the absurdities of life and also the deep meaning of it. Following his talk he will sell his books for $18. His book just received the Silver Medal Award from the Midwest Book Association in the category of Humorous Nonfiction. Then enjoy a tasty lunch which includes sandwich, fruit, chips, coffee and dessert. The cost is $10 per person. Please make your reservation asap by calling 763-767-6473.
