Join the Women—Mines Community Alliance (W-MCA) and the Arthur Lakes Library as we host a Community Conversation that will focus on several themes that show up in the book, "The Handmaid’s Tale" by Margaret Atwood, and the Hulu streaming series by the same name. The event will be held over the lunch hour on Thursday, March 17.  This facilitated conversation will be led by Dr. Paula Farca, and will explore the themes from the book and series that are applicable to our lives today. The event is open to everyone at Mines, as well as the Golden community. Register now to come share your thoughts and be part of the conversation. 

The event will start at noon with lunch provided. We will have a vegetarian and gluten free option for those attending.
