Film and Lunch Come see the film that won two Academy Awards and the Golden Lion Award at the 75th Intenational Film Festival. Produced and directed by the man who gave us another award-winning film, "The Lives of Others." This one is titled "Never Look Away." An admirer called it astounding and fantastically gripping. It's about the life of a young man from childhood to adulthood, and the events in his life that inspire him to be an artist while struggling to find a calling in life. Little does he know that the events of the past are what are influencing him in his current life.

Snacks will be served at the beginning, and a hearty lunch will be served after, at about 3:30.

Their garden, in a plant-driven naturalistic style, is on an island in the Paulinskill River. Ken is a celebrated lecturer, award-winning writer, photographer, and author of 20 garden books. He has produced features for every home and garden magazine, and The New York Times.

Ken is currently teaching special Zoom webinar sessions with Margaret Roach, and is a monthly guest on her radio show and podcast. Additionally, The Garden Club of America presented Ken with the Sarah Chapman Francis medal for lifetime achievement in garden communication.

background and scenes of a Chinese town. A black custom-made raised wood
base/platform 7" X 11" X 8', is included. Appraised value is $5,000.

Please join me for an afternoon or evening of good conversation, good company, and, of course, good beer. (Participants must be 21 or over.) The average price of a beer at a local bar is around $7, so if you come and have a couple of beers, you’re ahead of the game! Date will be determined once we have a guest list.
