Thinking about owning a business but not sure where to start? Join us for a free, 45-minute virtual Lunch &amp; Learn on what it really takes to own and grow a franchise.
This is an honest, no-pressure conversation designed for corporate professionals considering a change, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about business ownership.

Your hosts: 
Harris Gubin, franchise coach with 10 years of experience guiding professionals through a methodical, personalized exploration of franchise ownership.
Rebecca Blumberg, Zoomin Groomin area developer for Westchester and Putnam, with 30 years in sales and marketing leadership at Nickelodeon and Paramount.
Bring your lunch and your questions.

Suspenseful, passionate, and humorous, CARMEN.maquia is a Picasso-inspired, contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic. The physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble and flamenco.
Since her debut in 1875, Carmen, the titular character from Bizet’s opera, has become a timeless cultural icon, inspiring generations of composers, choreographers, and writers to attempt to capture her elusive and alluring nature. Ballet Hispánico New York honors the powerful Spanish leading lady with Gustavo Ramirez Sansano’s electrifying CARMEN.maquia. One of today’s most sought-after choreographers, Sansano’s quintessential ballet invigorates this timeless tale with an unrelenting energy that leaves you breathless. Highly original and full of explosive movement, CARMEN.maquia is a bold reimagining of this tragic tale.
Choreography by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano Music from Various Works by Georges Bizet

<a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/signature-learning-community/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Signature Learning Community at Sarah Lawrence College</a> is thrilled to present Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, novelist, and memoirist <a href="https://annaquindlen.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Anna Quindlen</a> in a lively and inspiring conversation about midlife and the chapters it brings. Part of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/news-events/slc100/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SLC100: The 2026–2027 Presidential Event Series</a>, the event will bring Quindlen together with President Cristle Collins Judd to consider the joys, challenges, and opportunities of midlife and beyond.
As Sarah Lawrence celebrates its centennial and looks toward its second century, the evening will also mark the launch of the College’s new <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/lifelong-learning/center-for-midlife-and-meaning.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Center for Midlife and Meaning</a>, the latest expression of the College’s enduring belief that education is a <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/lifelong-learning/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lifelong</a> process of discovery, growth, and transformation. Bringing the liberal arts into conversation with the lived experience of adults navigating change, the Center will offer opportunities for learning, reflection, conversation, and creative discovery. Whether work is shifting, children are leaving home, caregiving responsibilities are growing, retirement is approaching, or long-held interests are calling for renewed attention, the Center will provide a place to consider what is changing, what matters now, and what might come next.
Drawing on her works including the novels More Than Enough and Still Life with Bread Crumbs, memoirs and reflections Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake and A Short Guide to a Happy Life, and the non-fiction call to action Write for Your Life, Quindlen will bring her characteristic wit, warmth, and insight to the questions at the heart of the new Center: How do we understand ourselves as our roles and responsibilities change? What gives life meaning now? And what new possibilities might emerge in the chapters still ahead?
Members of the in-person audience will have the opportunity to engage with Anna Quindlen in a question-and-answer session, with priority given to members of the <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/signature-learning-community/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Signature Learning Community</a>. A book signing and reception will follow. Select books will be available for purchase, provided by Periwinkle Books in Bronxville.
