Virtual Lecture

The war that we now call the American Revolution was not only fought in the colonies by soldiers with muskets and bayonets. On both sides of the Atlantic, artists also played an integral role in forging revolutionary ideals. Discover with Dr. Zara Anishanslin the inspiring stories and intertwined lives of three largely forgotten Patriot artists: Robert Edge Pine, Prince Demah, and Patience Wright. They defied the British monarchy, armed with paint, canvas, wax, and espionage while risking their lives and reputations to support the cause of liberty.

From its early days as a colonial port to its reputation today as a premier sailing destination, oyster hub, and home of the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis has always had a deep connection to the water. In this hands-on STEAM program, we explore that relationship, both historical and current, while uncovering the science that keeps boats afloat and sails full of wind.
In this session, students will create boats and test out buoyancy, stability, sail power, and steering. This program will have you thinking like both a historian and an engineer!
This session is for Middle/High School students from 12:00-1:30pm.
Cost: $10 per student. One adult chaperone per family is free. $10 per each additional adult.

The Gampopa Center is a spiritual community, where we learn

Gampopa Center

The Gampopa Center is a spiritual community, where we learn and practice the teachings (philosophy, meditation, and science of mind) of the Buddha. Our Dharma center holds a variety of spiritual practices, ranging from meditation to philosophical study and sadhana practices. Rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Gampopa Center draws on the teachings and practices of countless realized figures across many different lineages and schools of thought. When it comes to Dharma studies and activities, we consider ourselves as nonsectarian followers of the Buddha, whereby we invite Dharma teachers from all major traditions of Buddhism, to teach Dharma in ways that preserve those different traditions. However, when we are doing more serious and specific Dharma practices, we follow the Kadam masters and the Kagyu lineage of Vajrayana. The Gampopa Center is located at 1831 Forest Drive, Suite C, in Annapolis, Maryland. Founded by Lama Phurbu Tashi Rinpoche, the center serves as a welcoming space for individuals to explore the philosophy and science of mind through the authentic teachings of the Buddha. By providing a physical sanctuary in the heart of Annapolis, the center fosters a supportive environment for local practitioners and visitors alike. Visitors can expect a compassionate and inclusive atmosphere that emphasizes practical wisdom for daily life. All are welcome

Secure What Matters. Accumulate Wealth. Plan Now For Ahead

Adam N. Green - New York Life Insurance Company

By mid-career, you may already have retirement savings, workplace benefits, and insurance in place. Even so, important questions can remain: Is your family adequately protected? Are you prepared for future responsibilities? Do the choices you have made still fit the life you are building? I work with family-focused professionals building established careers in technology-driven, sales-oriented, and operationally complex organizations. Many know financial action matters and have already taken some initial steps, but they want greater clarity about what to address next and where to begin. Our conversations may cover family protection, life insurance, long-term-care considerations, disability insurance, annuities, lifetime income, college funding, and retirement-related needs. I consider each situation from multiple angles, explain why an option may or may not fit, and welcome thoughtful questions. The focus is on informed decisions without unnecessary pressure. My approach is shaped by approximately 10 years of experience across private wealth management, financial-services operations, client accounts, and collaborative financial-services roles. I bring that perspective to ongoing relationships centered on clear reasoning, practical next steps, and support as family priorities and responsibilities change. Adam N. Green 610-716-9471 angreen@ft.newyorklife.com Registered Representative offering securities through NYLIFE Securities LLC, (member FINRA/SIPC), A Licensed Insurance Agency and a New York Life Company.
