SUMMARY:"The Librarians" Documentary Film Screening and Discussion Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free screening of the documentary\, “The Librarians\,” from director Kim A. Snyder. A professional panel and Q&A session will follow the screening. Film run time is 88 minutes. \nABOUT THE FILM:\nOnce upon a now\, in today’s America\, political polarization finds librarians under siege as an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas\, Florida\, and beyond. As the crisis escalates\, they join forces as unlikely defenders on the frontlines of democracy. \nIn October 2021\, Texas House Representative Matt Krause issued a list of 850 books for schools to review for obscene and race-related content\, urging officials to develop standards to ensure “pornography” and anything that may make students feel “discomfort\, guilt or anguish” be removed. The majority of content flagged had racial or LGBTQia+ themes. Parental Rights groups like Moms for Liberty dug in nationwide and book challenges escalated exponentially and became more coordinated. Vulnerable librarians were\, and continue to be\, targeted. \nWith unique access to a new movement in the making\, librarians take us on an odyssey across America to tell their story to resist censorship efforts. We meet a US Army veteran who was fired for refusing to remove books with racial content — and whose County Commissioners\, in the wake of a lawsuit filed by local community members alleging First and Fourteenth Amendment Rights infringements\, attempted to close the public library itself. A librarian in New Jersey investigates coordinated efforts between Parental Rights organizations and a national effort to undermine public education that landed in her own school district with direct attacks\, calling her a “pornographer\, pedophile\, and groomer of children”. A nationally lauded librarian is besieged with death threats in her native Louisiana parish where she lost 12 students to suicide because to feeling “othered.” Tensions escalate as legislation spreads proposing to criminalize librarians for distributing alleged pornographic materials to minors. \nIn a dystopian saga akin to a real-lifeFahrenheit451 sequel\, director KIM A. SNYDER’s gripping documentary THE LIBRARIANS traverses small-town U.S.A. with riveting interviews and troves of archival material to reveal the story of the country’s heroic librarians\, everyday Americans who have become unlikely defenders of democracy\, risking everything to uphold our most fundamental of rights.

SUMMARY:Incident at Our Lady of Perpetual Help - preview
DESCRIPTION:Let’s do the time warp and travel to 1973 for a retro coming-of-age comedy! You’ve heard of the Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family\, now meet the wonderful and wacky O’Sheas: an upstanding Irish-Catholic family who can’t seem to escape comedic chaos. 19-year-old Linda O’Shea has been tasked by her frazzled mother to teach her little sister about the “birds and the bees”. But when the stern parish priest overhears\, holy hell breaks loose! The O’Sheas must scramble to outwit the priest\, confound a nosy neighbor\, and discover that nothing is more sacred than family.

SUMMARY:Fore Pete's Sake Golf Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Fore Pete’s Sake Golf Tournament\nSaturday\, May 23rd\n9am Shotgun Start\nPine Creek Golf Course\, La Crescent\, MN\n4 Person Scramble\nLunch Included\n9 Holes & Cart\n$50 per person \nPresented by: The La Crescent Rotary & Congdon Family\nhttps://givebutter.com/fore-petes-sake-golf-tournament-2026 \nThe Story of “Fore Pete’s Sake”\nA Legacy of Service and Smiles The “Fore Pete’s Sake” Golf Outing is more than just a day on the greens; it is a tribute to the late Pete Congdon\, a man whose life was defined by his commitment to others and his infectious positive attitude. Pete served as the President of the La Crescent Rotary from 2014 to 2015\, a time during which he championed the club’s mission to be “impactful both in La Crescent and internationally”. \nPete’s Spirit Known for his humor and resilience\, Pete faced significant health challenges with the same grace he brought to his leadership roles. Even while battling brain tumors\, he remained an active and high-spirited member of the community\, planning for events like Oktoberfest and sharing his excitement for life with everyone he met. He was a man who believed that “every meal was the best meal” and that every stranger was just a friend he hadn’t met yet. Pete passed on in 2023\, but his passion and energy lives in all who knew him. \nWhy We Play Established through a partnership between the La Crescent Rotary and the Congdon Family\, this tournament carries forward Pete’s “story of why”. \n\nFor Participants: It’s an opportunity to honor a beloved community member while enjoying a game Pete loved—the same game where he once celebrated a hole-in-one at Pine Creek Golf Course.\nFor Sponsors: It is a way to invest in the very community service projects Pete held dear. From supporting local students through scholarships to funding life-saving equipment like AEDs and robotics programs\, your sponsorship directly fuels the “Service Above Self” legacy Pete lived by.\n\nJoin the Mission By joining us as a participant or sponsor\, you aren’t just supporting an event; you are becoming part of a story that values family\, service\, and the “mighty” impact of a dedicated community. \nSponsorship Levels\nYour support helps us continue Pete’s work across various community initiatives: \n\n$500 Lunch Sponsor\n$300 Swag Sponsor\n$200 Ball Sponsor\n$100 Hole Sponsor\n\nSponsors can get more information\, submit their payment\, or commit to send a check at https://givebutter.com/fore-petes-sake-sponsorship-2026 \nJoin us at the Pine Creek Golf Course to play “Fore Pete’s Sake” and help us keep his spirit of service alive
