Hower House Museum : August 2022

Arts and Entertainment

August 1, 2022

From: Hower House

This will be the tour schedule up until Holiday 2022 starts in November. You might notice these images on the front gate of the Hower House Museum. Banners have been made and are in the works of getting hung up. Also, if you look closely a new website is listed on the banner. With the help of our partners at Cummings Center For the History of Psychology (CCHP for short) we were able to get linked back up with the University of Akron. The plan is to go live by Mid-August. Until then, if you have any questions about events, our Facebook page is up to date. As always, if you have any questions please give us a call! We would love to hear from you.

Did you know that members who volunteer one day per month will accumulate 30 hours in no time at all! The perk with that is you can then use HHM for free!

Consider hosting a party for a special friend or have a special dinner with your significant other!

This year we've already saved the dates for a clothing exchange, book club, anniversary dinner and an engagement party!

Join us for an evening of Chicken and Waffles. This is a potluck style event. When RSVPing please let us know what you would like to bring.

Please call 330-972-6909. We would like to know what you are contributing so that not everyone brings the same items. However, if you decide to join us at the last minute or are unable to decide what to bring, we would still love to see you and share our tacos. Bring a taco filling and bring a friend.

Please RSVP by Friday August 19th @ 5PM

RESCHEDULED DATE OF THE JULY MEETING

Museum Musings Book Club

Tuesday October 4, 2022

6:30pm

Mary Biddinger, author of Department of Elegy.

Part post-punk ghost story, part Gen-X pastoral, Mary Biddinger’s poetry collection Department of Elegy conjures dim nightclubs, churning lakes, and vacant Midwestern lots, meditating on moments of lost connection. With the afterlife looming like fringe around the edges of this book, Biddinger constructs a view of heaven as strange as the world left behind. These poems escort us from forest to dance floor, bathtub to breakwater, memory into present.
