We have plenty of activities this week for all of the adults in our community.  First up, is an author book talk on Monday, July 25th, beginning at 7:00 P.M. in the Community Room.  Local author J. Chad Barrett will discuss his new book, "Journey to Freedom: The Pursuit of Authentic Fellowship Among Men." 

On Tuesday, July 26th, at 10:30 A.M., come to the Training Lab and find out about "Job Resources on the Internet."   Allow one of our librarians to take you to sites that you may not be aware of in an effort to get you one step closer to the job you're looking for.  Registration is requried.

And finally, on Saturday, July 30th, join us in the Community Room as members of the Amadiyya Muslim Community display copies of the Quran and other documents of Islam and answer any questions the public might have about them.
