Women's Rosh Chodesh Book Group

spending vacation time with his niece, Masie, and nephew, Grant. But in terms of caretaking or relating to two children, no matter how adorable, Patrick is, honestly overwhelmed. So, when tragedy strikes, and Masie and Grant lose their mother, and their father has a health crisis of his own, Patrick finds himself in the role of primary guardian. Despite having a set of “Guncle Rules” ready to go, Patrick has no idea what to expect with a life-style not so suited to a six and nine year old. Quickly realizing that parenting is not so easily solved by tricks and jokes, Patrick’s eyes are opened to a sense of responsibility, and he realizes that sometimes, even being larger than life means you are unfailingly human.

Judging the Judges: A Conversation on the Importance of our Courts & Voting Judicial Elections

If you are ever called to jury duty, have a legal claim or must serve as a witness, that is most likely to happen in one of our state or municipal courts. And if you or a family member must be in court, you will want to know that the judge is well versed in the law, even tempered, and fair and impartial to both sides. Ohio voters have the chance to help bring well qualified candidates to the bench, and keep them there, by voting in judicial elections.

Women's Rosh Chodesh Book Group

According to Confucius, “an educated woman is a worthless woman,” but Tan Yunxian—born into an elite family--- is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine. Yet things change radically for Yunxian when she is sent into an arranged marriage. How might a woman like Yunxian break free of these traditions and lead a life of such importance that many of her remedies are still used five centuries later?
