SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop - Banned Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Downers Grove for our monthly Banned Book Club! Our next meeting will be held on Thursday\, August 20th at 6:00 pm\, and we will be discussing On Censorship. This will be a free event\, but we highly encourage the purchase of the monthly book from our store. Please note that the author will not be present at this event.\n\nMore about On Censorship:  \nArtist and activist Ai Weiwei examines censorship and self-censorship\, through the lens of his compelling personal history\, offering readers profound insights into an important topic of current and perpetual relevance. \nAi Weiwei is one of contemporary art’s greatest practitioners. He has been a voice for artistic and personal freedom of expression for decades within his native China and around the world. \nThis publication offers a compelling exploration of censorship and self-­censorship. Drawing on his personal experiences and advocacy for human rights\, Ai Weiwei provides a uniquely informed perspective. He examines how censorship persists in authoritarian regimes as well as subtly within democratic frameworks\, corporate power\, the arts\, and social media\, arguing that its concealed and pervasive nature poses a significant threat to genuine expression. This thought-­provoking work by a singular voice invites readers to critically reconsider power\, ideology\, and the boundaries of free speech. \nAbout the Author:  \nAi Weiwei (b. 1957\, Beijing) is renowned for making strong aesthetic statements that resonate with timely phenomena across today’s geopolitical world. From architecture to installations\, social media to documentaries\, Ai uses a wide range of mediums as expressions of new ways for his audiences to examine society and its values. Ai is the recipient of the Ambassador of Conscience Award from Amnesty International and the Václav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent from the Human Rights Foundation. His work is the subject of numerous art monographs and exhibition catalogs\, and he is the author of 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows: Two Lives\, One Nation and a Century of Art Under Tyranny in China.

SUMMARY:Pinecone Cottage Tea House - Mayan Xcalak Beach Party Afternoon Tea
DESCRIPTION:There is at least one beach town that has stayed small in Mexico\, but you literally have to get off the beaten path to find it! Last Spring\, Paul and I drove one and a half hours south of Tulum and went off grid for a week\, in the simple fishing village of Xcalak. Xcalak is the most southern town in Mexico\, on the Mexican Caribbean coast just near Belize. We enjoyed the lack of resorts\, shopping and banks\, and enjoyed the ecotourism. We then returned to Tulum and took a hands on cooking class at Rivera’s Kitchen. In Lily’s home kitchen\, we explored traditional Mayan cuisine\, preparing everything from scratch and gaining a deeper appreciation for the region’s flavors. This late summer afternoon tea menu is inspired by our two weeks in this beautiful Caribbean area filled with colorful and delicious ingredients. \n\nChef Pam \nAfternoon Tea Served by Reservation Only\nAge Requirement 13 yrs +\nThree Course Prix Fixe Afternoon Tea | 62\nGluten Free\, Dairy Free\, Vegetarian or Vegan Options | 67\nPrice Includes 20% Gratuity\nBYOB Wine or Beer | 10 per bottle \nRecommended Teas\nFeatured Tea – Refreshing Watermelon-Lychee\nBeverage – Golden Starfruit Iced Tea\nTeatail – Pear-Berry Kiss \nBeginnings\nMexican Salad with Potatoes in Green Sauce with Banana-Date Bread \nSavories and PineScones\nChicken Al Pastor Salad Tea Sandwich\nStuffed Poblano Pepper Tortilla Cup\nMayan Shrimp and Corn Salad Tea Sandwich\nBlack Bean and Artichoke Tostada\nCoconut-Almond-Orange PineScone with Almond Devon Crème and Orange Marmalade \nSweet Endings\nArroz con Leche\nCaramel Flan Cheesecake\nMexican Chocolate Poundcake with Mango and Berries \nPinecone Cottage Cancellation Policy\nPinecone Cottage is a small\, locally owned business\, and we truly value each of our guests.

SUMMARY:Pinecone Cottage Tea House - Mayan Xcalak Beach Party Afternoon Tea
DESCRIPTION:There is at least one beach town that has stayed small in Mexico\, but you literally have to get off the beaten path to find it! Last Spring\, Paul and I drove one and a half hours south of Tulum and went off grid for a week\, in the simple fishing village of Xcalak. Xcalak is the most southern town in Mexico\, on the Mexican Caribbean coast just near Belize. We enjoyed the lack of resorts\, shopping and banks\, and enjoyed the ecotourism. We then returned to Tulum and took a hands on cooking class at Rivera’s Kitchen. In Lily’s home kitchen\, we explored traditional Mayan cuisine\, preparing everything from scratch and gaining a deeper appreciation for the region’s flavors. This late summer afternoon tea menu is inspired by our two weeks in this beautiful Caribbean area filled with colorful and delicious ingredients. \n\nChef Pam \nAfternoon Tea Served by Reservation Only\nAge Requirement 13 yrs +\nThree Course Prix Fixe Afternoon Tea | 62\nGluten Free\, Dairy Free\, Vegetarian or Vegan Options | 67\nPrice Includes 20% Gratuity\nBYOB Wine or Beer | 10 per bottle \nRecommended Teas\nFeatured Tea – Refreshing Watermelon-Lychee\nBeverage – Golden Starfruit Iced Tea\nTeatail – Pear-Berry Kiss \nBeginnings\nMexican Salad with Potatoes in Green Sauce with Banana-Date Bread \nSavories and PineScones\nChicken Al Pastor Salad Tea Sandwich\nStuffed Poblano Pepper Tortilla Cup\nMayan Shrimp and Corn Salad Tea Sandwich\nBlack Bean and Artichoke Tostada\nCoconut-Almond-Orange PineScone with Almond Devon Crème and Orange Marmalade \nSweet Endings\nArroz con Leche\nCaramel Flan Cheesecake\nMexican Chocolate Poundcake with Mango and Berries \nPinecone Cottage Cancellation Policy\nPinecone Cottage is a small\, locally owned business\, and we truly value each of our guests.

SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop Presents Scott M. Curran
DESCRIPTION:Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an author event with Scott M. Curran\, to celebrate the release of Better Good: A Simple System for Creating Lasting Impact\, on Tuesday\, August 25th at 6:00 pm in our Downers Grove store. Curran will be in conversation with Nancy Enonomou and Dave Humphreys. \n\nEvent Format \nWe will begin checking you in approximately 30 minutes before the start time. After a presentation and Q&A with the author\, the line will form in numbered order with the following guidelines: \n\nPosed photo with your camera taken by our staff\nThere is a limit of 2 books from home to be signed (unless otherwise stated)\nThere is a limit of 1 personalization (unless otherwise stated)\n\n  \nAll events have open seating. The “Order Line Number” on your pdf ticket is your reserved place in the signing line. You will line up to meet the author based on that number. \n  \nIf you cannot attend\, you must pick up your book (if included with ticket) at the hosting store within 30 days of the event.  We can ship that book to you for an additional charge of $9.99; please call the store to arrange that. \nPre-registration is required for this event because space is limited. \nMore about Better Good: \nA proven framework for making an impact in your life and work using the resources you already have\, based on the work of presidents\, A-list actors\, Fortune 500 companies\, and non-profits\, from the former General Counsel for the Clinton Foundation. \nAlmost everyone wants to do good in some form—in their communities\, through their work\, or for a cause they care about. And yet\, these dreams often get pushed aside by the pressing needs of daily life\, and we give up before we even start. The good news is\, you don’t need extra time or money to make the world better. Instead\, you can start where you are\, with what you already know\, love\, and do. \nBetter Good teaches you exactly where and how to begin. Using the same framework reflected in the work of leading companies\, global nonprofits\, and changemakers—from organizations like Starbucks and Chobani to individuals like Will Smith and MacKenzie Scott—you’ll learn how to leverage your PPP (Profile\, Platform\, and Passion) and TTT (Time\, Talent\, and Treasure) to deepen and expand your impact in your life and organization. An actionable\, practical guide for both leaders and individuals\, you’ll learn: \n– What levers make up your unique platform\, and how to pull those levers to 10x your impact.\n– How to use Transformative Time\, Found Extra Time\, and even No Extra Time to do more good\, and do it better.\n– Why more isn’t always better—better is better—when it comes to making an impact\, and how to ensure that your efforts are the highest and best use of your PPP and TTT to contribute in new (and not redundant or insignificant) ways. \nWhen faced with challenges and inequities\, too many of us think\, “Somebody should do something about that.” This book shows you that you are as much somebody as anybody\, and you have more power than you realize to make your corner of the world\, better. \nAbout the Author:  \nScott M. Curran is a social impact lawyer\, adviser\, and educator who has spent more than twenty-five years helping leaders and institutions turn good intentions into scalable\, lasting impact. He is the founder and CEO of Beyond Advisers and a former general counsel of the Clinton Foundation\, where he advised a global nonprofit operating in more than forty countries. He works across the nonprofit\, corporate\, and legal sectors\, advising boards\, executives\, and organizations on governance\, strategy\, and systems to do good well at scale. His work spans major foundations\, companies\, and cross-sector initiatives tackling some of the world’s most complex challenges. He teaches social impact law—recognized by Crain’s Chicago Business as “one of the coolest courses for law students”—and hosts the podcast\, Better Good with Scott M. Curran. He lives in Chicago with his wife\, Amy\, their family\, and their rescue dogs.
