Jess Lucas Y-Teen Park

Join the City of Hapeville to celebrate the power of local storytelling with the second installment of the Southern Circuit Independent Film Series. The series continues with a free screening of “Minnie Evans: Draw or Die” on Friday, October 16 at the Christ Church &amp; Carriage House in Jess Lucas Y-Teen Park.
Produced and directed by Linda Royal, this captivating one-hour documentary gives voice to the remarkable self-taught artist Minnie Evans through intimate conversations between Evans and photographer Nina Howell Starr. Their recorded discussions from the 60s and 70s, now preserved in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art archives, offer a window into their loving friendship and Minnie’s personal history. The film weaves together her artwork across the decades, archival images, Nina Starr’s black and white photography and the gardens and coastal landscapes that inspired Minnie’s work.
The evening kicks off with a 6 p.m. pre-screening reception featuring live music and food from local partners followed by the 7 p.m. screening. The conversation doesn’t stop when the credits roll – stay after the screening for a live Q&amp;A with the filmmaker.

Why Term Life Insurance Under 40
&bull;Lock In Your Lowest Premium: Youth and good health are your biggest assets. Securing a policy in your 20s or 30s locks in remarkably low, fixed rates that won't increase for the entire term (10, 20, or 30 years).
&bull;Maximum Coverage for Minimal Cost: Term life gives you the highest payout amount per dollar spent, making it an affordable way to cover major financial responsibilities like a mortgage, income replacement, or growing children.
&bull;Built-In Flexibility (Conversion Option): Most term policies include a guaranteed conversion privilege. This allows you to convert all or part of your term policy into a permanent (Whole Life) policy down the road&mdash;without needing a medical exam or proving health eligibility again. You get maximum protection now at a low rate, with the option to build guaranteed cash value as your income grows.
