Bettendorf — Enjoy an evening at the Family Museum for free! On Martin Luther King Jr. Day January 16, 2012, from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm admission is free for everyone at the Family Museum located at 2900 Learning Campus Drive in Bettendorf, Iowa.
Visitors can explore agriculture and weather in Amazing Acres by making a cloud, touching a tornado, driving a John Deere combine, and shopping in the Amazing Acres Market. Little ones can play safely in PlayHouse by creating a meal in the Alphabet Kitchen, interacting with the virtual pond, and playing house. Busy Bodies has a large heart that visitors can walk through, and the rhythm of the heart may inspire some visitors to create their own rhythms in Rhythm Alley with a pentaphone. There is so much to do at the Family Museum!
For more information, visit the Family Museum’s website www.familymuseum.org. |

As you all know, the Independent Scholars' Evenings are dedicated to promote and support the work of area Independent Scholars. Held each Thursday at 7.00 pm during a shortened academic school year, this year we are opening the spring session earlier than usual. There is no snow and the temperatures are warm enough for our regular evening sessions.
Should the weather change, of course we may resume the winter break.
Special documentary:
THRIVE.
On
Jan 12 th 2012
At
7.00 pm
THRIVE is an unconventional documentary that lifts the veil on what's REALLY going on in our world by following the money upstream -- uncovering the global consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives. Weaving together breakthroughs in science, consciousness and activism, THRIVE offers real solutions, empowering us with unprecedented and bold strategies for reclaiming our lives and our future. After the presentation there will be critical analysis of the movie within the group, facilitated by Independent Scholar Michael Grady.
Please attend. Please feel free to forward this email to your network.
These Inidependent Scholars' Evenings we sponsored by The Institute for Cultural and Healing Traditions, Ltd. a 501(c) 3 at State and Federal levels since 1996.
Please visit our website www.qcinstitute.org
Looking forward to meeting you at the ISE
