Jeremy's own personal journey to feeling empowered as an autistic individual and his work as a professional helping others on that journey gives him unique insight into how autistic empowerment is cultivated. This presentation is not a text book on the do’s and don’ts for working with or being an autistic individual. Instead, it encourages attendees to think critically about the benefits of open communication and self-advocacy for their lives and the lives of those around them.&nbsp;
Jeremy K. Farrell is a passionate Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Advocate and a proud person on the spectrum himself. He has been working with children with developmental disabilities, specializing in autism, since the age of 15.&nbsp;

Underpinning the sensationalism of battle reports &amp; broadsides is the often silent steadiness of women’s work with textiles. From the mythology of homespun to legends of midnight rides in red cloaks &amp; calashes, costumed historians share stories of the women who waged war on multiple fronts as well as a look at what they wore as their worlds turn’d upside down. This Semiquincentennial fashion &amp; fabric show includes reproduction clothing pieces &amp; cloth samples as well as a PowerPoint presentation with images of extant originals.
The Dirty Blue Shirts is an experiential history collective of living historians, scholars, and artists based from Eastern Connecticut. Its members worked together on the front lines of maritime museums. Now they bring customized, museum quality programming to historic sites throughout New England.

For the month of April, we will be reading and discussing The Reunion by Meghan Quinn. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Martin and Peggy Chance believe love should last a lifetime. With their fiftieth wedding anniversary on the horizon, they’ve modeled a beautiful relationship for their three grown children. But to their dismay, that lesson hasn’t quite caught on—the three siblings just can’t seem to take a chance and find love in their own lives.
There’s Ford, the eldest, devoted to his work and resistant to romance…or so he claims. Cooper, the middle child, can’t get past his divorce—until he reconnects with a feisty baker from his past. And Palmer, the baby of the family, is the free-spirited world traveler who always pictured herself with someone other than a handsome small-town family doctor.
When the Chance siblings come together to plan the ultimate anniversary party for their parents, they’ll have to navigate romantic entanglements, sibling rivalries, and the definitive end of their childhood. Whatever happens, The Reunion promises to be a fun, flirty, wild ride.
