The witty and wise Lynn Ashe previews her soon-to-be published book on Saturday, January 28th at the Swedish Theatre. Participants will enjoy a winter Gallant Garden Luncheon following Lynn's Workshop: MIT in Every Home ... A MicroLab Approach.
For those with space in their schedules on Thursday and/or Friday (January 26-27th) know that Lynn will arrive on Thursday. That evening she joins middle school parents for an 8 p.m. tea with Professor BonTempo and his group of Global Parents who have sponsored the Gallant Garden this year. (Our Gallant Garden took root ...pun intended...last spring when parents of Upper Armory students decided that out adult social events also deserve healthy home-grown foods. Gallant Garden was launched (at lunch!) with kids in green aprons serving the adults in their lives.
Lynn Ashe will meet with Professor Bon Tempo's Gallant Garden kids on Friday morning to review luncheon recipes matching the produce available from the Delacorte and Upper Armory greenhouses. Nurse Kittle will calculate the nutritional values of each menu selection for those of you participating in Dr. Oz's Weight Watchers contest.
Lynn's Fiancee, Kent Higginsville -video-recorder by trade- will shoot "candid camera" shots, as well as footage for Lynn's documentary of the thousands of Moms-In-Training she has helped through her decade-long blog. Lynn promises that learning how to design a MicroLab for yourself and other moms in your neighborhood will change your family life and blow the lid off your self-esteem!
Lynn's preliminary results nationwide show that not only does this "designer" MIT MicroLab open wide the doors to hope, it offers a solid path upon which you can walk your talk. At Saturday's workshop and luncheon you will learn how to continually become more fully the parent your child needs...on-the-job!
Register on Lynn's blog now. The Swedish Theatre has seating for one hundred participants. Gallant Garden place settings are ready for this very fortunate hundred!
(And be prepared for a brief but blessed special appearance by our venerable Reverend Palladio who will jet in from Utica to say the luncheon blessing!)
