The title of this talk: "A Spiritual Revolution: The Quest to Experience God"

The speaker is Christian Science practitioner and teacher Giulia Nesi Tetreau, CSB, a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

In November, 2024, Donivan Johnson, a regional music teacher and composer, had the premiere of one of his compositions, "Arise, My Love," performed by the Oratorio Society of the University of Maine at Bangor. The May 18th event honors Johnson's contribution to the music found within the north Pend Oreille County as a teacher at the Selkirk School District for 26 years, a private music instructor and composer. A campaign reception is followed by the presentation of the video of the concert. This event is tree to the public, but a donation to the Cutter Theatre Scholarship Fund is appreciated.

Speaker: Joshua White, Forest Supervisor, Colville National Forest

Healthy forests deliver benefits that people need, but due to past management and a history of fire suppression, our forests are unhealthy and in need of restoration. To address the departure of our landscape and reduce the risk of uncharacteristically severe disturbances, we must restore the health and resilience of the Colville National Forest, minimize detrimental impacts of disturbance to important values, and provide relevant opportunities to our communities. Our Forest is departed from its healthy and resilient state. This departure means that the Forest cannot meet the needs of the people, especially in the face of increasing wildfire risk and climate change. In many cases, our landscapes have crossed a threshold and cannot restore themselves without meaningful collaborative management and active management, including use of wildfire, will be necessary. For the past 8 years, the Colville National Forest has been working to change the trajectory of our forested landscapes, and to do so at a meaningful pace and scale. This presentation will highlight successes and challenges the Forest Service has faced moving toward a meaningful restoration program, the opportunities moving into the future, and the challenges faced every day.
