SUMMARY:G.T. Humanists Book Club: Tightrope-Americans Reaching For Hope
DESCRIPTION:For their next book club selection\, Grand Traverse Humanists will read and discuss “Tightrope” by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. We are planning to discuss the book over Zoom meeting (link to follow closer to the event). \nAmazon.com description: “The Pulitzer Prize-winning authors of the acclaimed\, best-selling “Half the Sky” now issue a plea–deeply personal and told through the lives of real Americans–to address the crisis in working-class America\, while focusing on solutions to mend a half century of governmental failure. \nWith stark poignancy and political dispassion\, Tightrope draws us deep into an “other America.” The authors tell this story\, in part\, through the lives of some of the children with whom Kristof grew up\, in rural Yamhill\, Oregon\, an area that prospered for much of the twentieth century but has been devastated in the last few decades as blue-collar jobs disappeared. About one-quarter of the children on Kristof’s old school bus died in adulthood from drugs\, alcohol\, suicide\, or reckless accidents. And while these particular stories unfolded in one corner of the country\, they are representative of many places the authors write about\, ranging from the Dakotas and Oklahoma to New York and Virginia. But here too are stories about resurgence\, among them: Annette Dove\, who has devoted her life to helping the teenagers of Pine Bluff\, Arkansas\, as they navigate the chaotic reality of growing up poor; Daniel McDowell\, of Baltimore\, whose tale of opioid addiction and recovery suggests that there are viable ways to solve our nation’s drug epidemic. These accounts\, illustrated with searing images by Lynsey Addario\, the award-winning photographer\, provide a picture of working-class families needlessly but profoundly damaged as a result of decades of policy mistakes. With their superb\, nuanced reportage\, Kristof and WuDunn have given us a book that is both riveting and impossible to ignore.”

SUMMARY:G.T. Humanists Sunset Paddle on Boardman Lake
DESCRIPTION:We’ll meet at the boat launch at Hull Park (next to the library) for a sunset paddle of Boardman Lake. This paddle can be as leisurely or as strenuous as you like. You can just bob around for a while as you chat with your fellow Humanists\, or you could paddle all the way around the lake\, or you can paddle down the Boardman River a ways and paddle back up (slow easy current) or paddle to the south end of the lake and up the river (faster current) as far as you can go (unlikely that you can make it farther than the former Sabin Dam area\, although I know of one hardy paddler who has gone up the rapids). \nBYOB (Bring your own boat) and paddle and any other supplies you may need. Send your RSVP and any questions to Linnaea.
