    Looking to brush up on your high school or college Spanish in an enjoyable way? Is your Spanish advanced beginner to intermediate level? Join us for a screening and discussion of Valentín, an Argentinean film that will win your heart. We will watch the film with English subtitles, and you will discover why critic Roger Ebert praised the 8-year-old protagonist Valentín ("brave" in Spanish) for living up to his name. Then, we’ll have a guided discussion in Spanish about the characters, themes, and favorite scenes. Don’t worry about making mistakes—our instructor will be there to help. Come for a fun evening of film, conversation, and palomitas (popcorn)!

    The role of women’s lives in society from the 18th century to the 19th Amendment is highlighted in popular song. Playing mountain and hammered dulcimers and guitar, Linda sings broadsides, laments, love songs, work songs, parlor melodies, and suffrage anthems. The songs reflect the changing status of women in society. Interspersed with the music are excerpts from women’s diaries and letters. Among the stories included will be those of Deborah Samson, who fought as a soldier in the Patriot army in the Revolutionary War battles in White Plains and Tarrytown, and the New York and New Jersey women who led the fight for Women’s Suffrage.
