Presentation by Dr. Victoria Harris: “Plants Are Like People”
Before she was a teenager in the last century, Victoria Harris was given Jerry Baker’s book Plants Are Like People by her grandfather. Although they were in different countries, cultures, and from different generations, somehow Grandpa Cliff could see his granddaughter. He knew the book would be seminal for her, despite the differences between them. Now a retired psychiatrist and a Master Gardener (Intern WSU, 2022), Dr. Harris will share some of her insights focused on people and plants living indoors in the Inland Northwest.
Musical performance by the Senior Serenaders
Project Joy’s 50-voice mixed choir returns for an encore performance after last year’s stirring renditions of everything from “golden oldies” to Broadway hits — and even some classic Jewish tunes. Also, a little bird told us that a few Serenaders may be members of the Jewish community! Don’t miss this opportunity to kick back, hear some great music, and bask in the springtime vibes.
Presentation and reading by local author Beth Camp
Since retiring as a college teacher of writing, Beth Camp has written four novels of historical fiction set in Scotland, Canada, and Australia in the 1840s; an art crime mystery (The Seventh Tapestry), and a police procedural (Unleashed Pursuit). A love of travel, history, and culture shape her fiction and poetry. She’s currently working on a sequel to her art crime mystery set in Egypt (Honeymoon in Egypt). Beth and her husband of 50 years, Allen, live in Spokane close to family. At our luncheon, Beth will discuss her own writing journey and how her projects led to international travel. She’ll also read a few short excerpts of her work.
