DeForest Area Public Library

Presented by Joe Fahey

This fun and informative pictorial presentation will discuss some of the key points of Irish culture, both past and present. Of course, no Irish discourse would be complete without visiting a few pubs to tilt a Guinness along the way!

Cohosted by the DeForest Area Public Library and the DeForest Area Community & Senior Center.

Hiking is a wonderful way to experience the outdoors, get some exercise, and maybe see some cool critters along the way! Sara Rigelman, WiDNR Recreation Liaison, will introduce you to the basics of hiking and how to prepare so that you feel confident and ready to hit the trails. She will also share some of her favorite day hikes in the Dane County area suitable for beginners, families with children, adults and seniors.

Join Trista, a certified professional organizer in Marie Kondo's KonMari Method, for a lesson on how to turn your home from a place of clutter and stress to one of joy and ease.

We will discuss the basics of the KonMari Method, which include tidying by category rather than room, and choosing the items that stay in the home based on feelings of joy and intention rather than guilt or fear.

By the end of the process, the goal is to live in a home surrounded by items that only bring you happiness, and releasing items that have outlived their purpose with gratitude.

Bring a treasured item, old or new, and share your stories. This is an opportunity to share a story about a vacation or trip you went on, just in time for summer.

Each participant will have a few minutes to talk. If you would rather sit back and watch, that’s fine too.
