June Book Club
June 26, 2023, 6:30 - 8:00 pm
In Person 
6-26-23
In South to America, Imani Perry shows that the meaning of American is inextricably linked with the South, and that our understanding of its history and culture is the key to understanding the nation as a whole. This is the story of a Black woman and native Alabaman returning to the region she has always called home and considering it with fresh eyes. Her journey is full of detours, deep dives, and surprising encounters with places and people. She renders Southerners from all walks of life with sensitivity and honesty, sharing her thoughts about a troubling history and the ritual humiliations and joys that characterize so much of Southern life.
The June Book Club will again gather in the meeting room of RiverPlace Apartments, located at 1 RiverPlace Dr., La Crosse, which is adjacent to International Friendship Gardens. Weather permitting, the group will meet outside on the adjoining deck. Participants should enter through the front entrance and press "18" on the entryway intercom. Parking is available in front of the building or in the International Friendship Gardens parking lot in back.
Although registration for this in-person meeting will not be required, participants are encouraged to register if they wish to receive an event reminder as well as any potential updates to meeting information.
 

Did You Know?
aapi
AAPI stands for Asian American and Pacific Islander. The term is used to describe a diverse and fast-growing population of 23 million Americans that includes roughly 50 ethnic groups with roots in more than 40 countries. May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month (or AAPIHM for short), first created by Congress in 1992. AAPIHM falls in May because of several historical milestones, including the 1843 arrival of the first Japanese immigrants, and Chinese laborers’ enormous contributions to building the transcontinental railroad, which was finished in May 1869.

Congratulations Are In Order!

Want to know more about Vote411?
infomercial
Vote411 is a website which provides candidates a place to respond to questions and allows voters the opportunity to learn more about the candidates running in races they care about. The success of the website depends on candidates participating in the process, so if you have a candidate you want to know more about and can't find information on them, call their campaigns and ask why they are not on Vote411.
One of the other really amazing things is that when you visit Vote411, you enter your home address and find out the races and candidates that are specific to your community. You see referendums, candidates and other great information you can use to feel prepared before election day.
Another great thing is that from the Vote411 website, you can be connected to the entity in your state that will help you get registered to vote and explain all you need to know. In Wisconsin, that link is to myvote.wi.gov.
