Las Positas College

Every strong college application starts with an essay that sounds like you. In “From Pen to Portal: Writing Strong College Application Essays,” a 3-session workshop for high school seniors and college transfer students, long-time LPC English professor Heidii McMichael will help you tackle the UC PIQs and the Common App essay with confidence and voice. You’ll walk away with a polished essay ready to submit, and we’ll also cover brag sheets, supplemental essays, scholarship statements, and how to make every part of your application tell your story. The workshop meets October 13, 20, &amp; 27 2026, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at LPC in room 21107. The cost is $59 for three classes plus one free, optional Zoom edit session. (Workshop is not for college credit.) LPC students can also follow up in the RAW Center for more help on their application essays.

Fenestra Winery

Celebrate all things True Red! This historic blend has been in the Fenestra Tasting Line Up for over 40 years. At this tasting adventure, you will begin with a taste of True White, followed up by True Red Lots 26, 27 and 28. Then, try a rare sample of True Lot 27 in Magnum. This is a great way to taste the difference between library wines stored in a regular bottle and ones stored in magnums. We will continue on to True Red Lot 33, our current release, which will be on sale for $10.00/bottle on a sealed case. Finally, this tasting adventure will culminate in a taste of our True Red Lot 34: our first ever all-Livermore AVA True Red! This is a limited space event and reservations are absolutely encouraged. Club Members are $25.00 per person; Non Club Members are $30.00 per person.
