WHEN: Wednesdays, August 5 & August 12 | 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM (Two-Part Session)

WHERE: Turnage Theater Gallery

TICKETS: $10 for AOP Members / $15 for Non-Members (Includes admission to both sessions!)

Do you have cherished, faded family photos tucked away in a box, wishing you could see those faces and details more clearly? It is time to bring those memories back to life.

Join local historian and photo restoration expert Ray Midgett for a fascinating, two-part demonstration and hands-on workshop. Ray has extensive experience unlocking the secrets hidden in aged photographs, and he is ready to teach you how to work that same magic.

What You'll Learn:

• The Modern Toolbox: Discover how a powerful combination of cutting-edge AI technology and classic Adobe Photoshop techniques can reverse decades of wear and tear.

• Step-by-Step Restoration: Watch live demonstrations detailing how to erase scratches, fix fading, and sharpen blurred details.

• Hands-On Practice: Put these concepts into practice. Bring your own old, faded photos with you to analyze and work on during the sessions!

Whether you are a family genealogist, a history buff, or someone who simply wants to preserve a piece of your personal history, this workshop will give you the tools to save your family's story.

WHEN: Wednesdays, August 5 & August 12 | 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM (Two-Part Event)

WHERE: Turnage Theater Gallery

TICKETS: $10 for AOP Members / $15 for Non-Members (Includes admission and refreshments for both sessions!)

Travel back in time to Regency-period England for a timeless story of second chances, hidden longing, and enduring love. Whether you are a devoted "Janeite" or discovering the brilliant Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth for the very first time, you are warmly invited to pull up a chair for a delightful literary escape.

Join facilitator Pam Whipple in the cozy Turnage Theater Gallery for a two-part discussion group centered on Jane Austen’s final completed novel, Persuasion.

📖 Note for Attendees: To get the most out of our lively conversations, we recommend having the book read ahead of our first session on August 5th!

What to Expect:

• Engaging Conversations: We will dive deep into Austen's themes of regret, societal expectations, and what it truly means to follow your heart.

• A Casual, Welcoming Atmosphere: No stuffy academic pressure here! This is a relaxed, open space to share your thoughts, ask questions, or simply sip tea and listen to others.

• A "Slight Repast": It wouldn't be a proper English afternoon without refreshments. Enjoy tea and treats while mingling with fellow book lovers.

Book Details:

Our facilitator recommends the Penguin Classics paperback edition (edited by Gillian Beer) because it is budget-friendly and perfect for personalizing. We want you to dog-ear the pages, highlight your favorite lines, use it as a coaster, and truly immerse yourself in Austen’s world!

📖 Don't have a copy? You can order this specific edition locally through our wonderful friends at Pamlico Books! If you already own a different edition of Persuasion, feel free to bring that along instead—no need to buy another.

Hemingway’s Portrayal of the Burdens of War

Ernest Hemingway wrote three “Nick Adams” stories that can be understood as the main character’s struggle to endure the effects of “blast trauma” or post-traumatic stress disorder. Join Dr. Pisano to explore these three great stories and gain insight into Hemingway’s powerful portrayal of the burdens of war.

The Featured Stories:

• Now I Lay Me

• A Way You’ll Never Be

• Big Two-Hearted River

All three pieces can be found in the collection entitled “The Nick Adams Stories.” The book is widely available and can be ordered locally from our friends at Pamlico Books (https://pamlicobooks.com/).

About the Presenter: Dr. Pisano earned his PhD at Penn State before working at West Virginia State College and the Columbia Area Career Center in Missouri, where he served as a literacy specialist. He is also an accomplished crafter of dioramas, on which he paints miniature murals
