Please join us in supporting local MHS student writers and artists for their "ConText" magazine.

Since 2006 the magazine has published student creative writing and artwork in an annual literary journal. The National Honor Society is a student organization dedicated to focusing on the artists' exposure to art and involvement in the community. 

This year the editors of "ConText" hope to raise funds to improve the printing quality of the students work in the journal. Twenty-five percent of the evening's sales will go to the magazine. Please help support your students, your community, and the arts! Thanks.

Wings. All women come into this world with the potential to grow them. Some women let prejudice, discrimination, manipulation, or the expectations of others thwart their development. Other women, however, draw on an iron inner strength to unfold their potential and transform themselves.

On Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 2:00 p.m., Birute Regine will autograph her book, Iron Butterflies: Women Transforming Themselves and the World, and give a lecture on "iron butterflies", women who find the inner strength to grow into their potential and transform themselves and the world without losing their femininity. In her book, readers become acquainted with a diverse group of women deploying the strength and power of feminine skills, whose accomplishments illustrate overarching themes so critical to women’s lives and to our times. They come from an astonishing range of experience; from all races, all walks of life, and every corner of the world.

Welcome to the amazing world of birds, birders, and bird watching. Birds have what we don't - the enchantment of wings! And we love them, because they represent the untamed wild in ourselves.

Come and share in your love of our feathered friends and make a few human ones here too with a signed copy of "Tale Feathers"! (IUniverse, 21.97)
