SUMMARY:DMI DEAI Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The September\, 2026 DMI DEAI Book Club book will be: ‘The Greatest Sentence Ever Written’ by Walter Issacson- 80 pages. \nWe will meet to discuss this book on Weds\, Sept. 16\, 2026 at Noon on Zoom. \nZoom Link here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83280256425?pwd=lk1fEcttqSoW1BJ05oDAwkNzxo7YsR.1 \n“America’s bestselling biographer reveals the origins of the most revolutionary sentence in the Declaration of Independence\, the one that defines who we are as Americans\, and explains how it should shape our politics today. \nTo celebrate America’s 250th anniversary\, Walter Isaacson takes readers on a fascinating deep dive into the creation of one of history’s most powerful ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident\, that all men are created equal\, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights\, that among these are Life\, Liberty\, and the pursuit of Happiness.’ \nDrafted by Thomas Jefferson and edited by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams\, this line lays the foundation for the American Dream and defines the common ground we share as a nation. \nIsaacson unpacks its genius\, word by word\, illuminating the then-radical concepts behind it. Readers will gain a fresh appreciation for how it was drafted to inspire unity\, equality\, and the enduring promise of America. With clarity and insight\, he reveals not just the power of these words but describes how\, in these polarized times\, we can use them to restore an appreciation for our common values.” www.goodreads.com \n

Recovery.com was created to meet that need. Today\, the platform helps more than one million people each month find recovery options and take meaningful steps toward healing. \nregistration:\n \n\n\nLoading…\n\n\n\n \ntransportation & parking:\n\n\n\nThe closest parking ramp is the Overture Center Parking Garage (318 W.

SUMMARY:DMI DEAI Book Club
DESCRIPTION:overview:\nFor our next ‘book club’ discussion we will be discussing the play ‘Ironbound’ by  Martyna Majok. \n“The play ‘Ironbound’ is about a Polish immigrant woman- Darya. She has come to America with her husband Maks\, when they are both still young\, in their early 20’s. They come seeking the American dream\, a better life\, a home\, stability\, a comfortable living. What they get is hardship\, strain on their relationship\, and broken dreams. ‘Ironbound’ is an amazingly good script\, and deceptively challenging. With immigration issues roiling our culture\, with women continuing to fight for equity and agency\, with the struggles of just getting by in life not seeming to get any easier\, this seems to be an excellent vehicle for a Frank Theater production.” Mary Aalgaard \nAt our book club meeting on Tuesday\, Jan. 13th at Noon\,  we will have a pre-viewing discussion about this play. You do not need to have read\, seen or know anything about the play to attend this discussion. \nJoin here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/k1dWaM-SQaicdp3TrJMxvQ \nWe are planning to attend the play together at our very own Forward Theater\, sometime between Weds\, Feb 4 – Thurs\, Feb 12\, 2026. \nEmail Madelyn or Steve if you are interested in attending the play at Forward Theater. \n
