Our presenter for the afternoon will be Chris Rife, who was a nominee for the Chicago Barista of the Year Award in 2019, and now works for the Chicago Beveridge Company as the head of education and is the corporate trainer. His knowledge of coffee and the coffee world will both entertain and educate. Please join us by responding to TheGlenLakeManor@gmail.com. Seating is limited so please RSVP by Wednesday October 18th.

The Glen Arbor Players are very excited to announce the staging of our new play, Anatomy of a Murder, directed by Ron Smith. The play is based on a true story that took place in the Michigan Upper Peninsula in the 1950’s and was written by the defense attorney who actually worked the case and later became a Michigan Supreme Court Justice.
Mr. Smith was quoted as saying “the cast is one of the largest in our twelve year history as well as our most experienced with almost 300 years of collective stage experience. The play will be performed at the Glen Lake Church, 4902 West Macfarlane, Glen arbor. Play dates are October 27, 28 and 29 th at 7:30pm. Admission is free. Goodwill donations are accepted and refreshments will be served.
The story is based on the defense of an army lieutenant who was accused of killing a bartender in cold blood who had allegedly raped his wife. The story was made into a movie in 1959 that starred James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, Eve Arden and George C. Scott.
The movie was awarded six (6) Academy Awards and has been lauded as “probably the finest pure trial movie ever made.” The US Library of Congress has preserved the film as being “culturally, historically and aesthetically significant.”

COFFEE WITH THE AUTHORS BOOK DISCUSSION
2022-11-26 11:00 - 12:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
The Glen Arbor Arts Center hosts Leelanau County writers Jacob Wheeler and Anne-Marie Oomen for coffee and conversation about their newly published nonfiction books. The Coffee With The Authors book discussion is November 26, 11 am at the GAAC, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. Both writers have won recognition for their writing, but their writing springs from different sources: Anne-Marie’s from personal history; Jacob’s from deeply researched journalism. Both writers will talk about the process of making, and publishing their books.
In his second book, Angel of the Garbage Dump, Jacob Wheeler executes an in-depth, feeling portrait of Maine native, the late Hanley Denning, who saw poverty and desperation in its ugliest form, and refused to turn a blind eye. A former track star at Bowdoin College, Denning was struck by what she saw at a city dump in Guatemala: garbage pickers competing with vultures for the food dumped by trucks, toddlers playing amidst rats. Wheeler details Denning’s efforts to create Safe Passage, a nonprofit organization focused on bringing significant and lasting change to the garbage pickers and their children. Wheeler is editor and publisher of the Glen Arbor Sun, which he founded in 1996; adjunct faculty with Northwestern Michigan College; and adviser to the staff of NMC’s White Pine Press.
As Long As I Know You narrates Anne-Marie Oomen’s journey to finally knowing her mother – as her mother’s memories are being erased by dementia. It explores how humor and compassion grow belatedly between a mother and daughter who don’t much like each other. It’s a personal map to find a mother who may have been there all along, then losing her again in the time of Covid. As Long As I Know You is the recipient of the Sue William Silverman Prize for Creative Nonfiction. Oomen is the author of six books of prose and poetry, and seven plays.
Coffee With The Authors is free. For more information, go to GlenArborArt.org, or call 231/334-6112.
