MARCH'S VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON PROGRAMS AND EVENTS FOR ADULTS
 A VIRTUAL PRESENTATION
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2 | 5:30 P.M. VIA ZOOM
The Amache Story program shows how people created a livable community behind barbed wire. It features a short historical presentation and an informal discussion with a group of survivors.
Today, survivors and descendants work to preserve and share this important part of our history. Since 2008, the Denver University Amache Research Project has worked with the Amache community and town of Granada to conduct on site archaeological research. A panel of Amacheans will support a DU Amache Project presenter to share the history of the site and current research.

“WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR" ELEANOR ROOSEVELT DURING WORLD WAR II A Performance by Susan Marie Frontczak
WEDNESDAY, MAR. 23 | 5:30 P.M.
War is a controversial topic. The stakes are particularly high if you have been working for world peace for over twenty years and your husband is the president of the United States while your country is embroiled in the largest war the planet has ever known. How does one stay true to one’s ideals in the midst of war’s mayhem? How can we build the world we want while surrounded by tumult?
It is December 1942. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has just returned from England where she visited with soldiers, generals, royalty, and the working people. Find out how the First Lady feels about the individual’s role in a world torn by war, hardship, and uncertainty.
Program includes a monologue in character, followed by a “conversation with Mrs. Roosevelt” and then a Q&A with the scholar/ presenter, Susan Marie Frontczak.
VIRTUAL BOOKS 'N BITES
WEDNESDAY, MAR. 9 | 5:00 P.M. VIA ZOOM
Join us! for this month's Virtual Book Club via Zoom when we will discuss the 2022 One Book One Valley (OBOV) selected title "Tallgrass" by Sandra Dallas.
Email Lori at LBarnes@vailgov.com to receive an invitation to the Zoom meeting.
During World War II, a family finds life turned upside-down when the government opens a Japanese internment camp in their small Colorado town. After a young girl is murdered, all eyes turn to the newcomers. Rennie has just turned thirteen, and until this time, life has been predictable and fair. But the winds of change are coming and with them, a shift in her perspective and a discovery of secrets that can destroy even the most sacred things. Part thriller, part historical novel, Tallgrass is a riveting exploration of the darkest—and best—parts of the human heart.
