Remember when Y2K was our biggest worry and we thought graduation day would never come? Well Tigers, a quarter-century has flown by, and it's time to step back into those memories we made roaming the halls of Kingston High! Join your fellow Class of 2000 graduates at Frank Guido's Little Italy for an evening that'll take you right back to the days of frosted tips, CD Walkmans, and passing notes in class. Trade stories about where life has taken you since we tossed our caps into the air in June 2000! Bring your best stories, your loudest laugh, and maybe even that borrowed yearbook you forgot to return (we won't tell). The night promises delicious Italian appetizers and a soundtrack straight from our glory days that'll have you wondering if *NSYNC ever really went out of style. Dress up, show up, and let's prove that the Class of 2000 still knows how to make memories worth keeping. After all, we're not just any graduating class – we're the ones who bridged two millennia!

Come root yourself in the rhythms of the land during this nourishing gathering at the LIBH land base. Together, we’ll explore the deep connection between Earth healing and self-healing—honoring the truth that when we care for the land, it cares for us in return. This session will center on the abundance already growing around us. Depending on what is ripe and ready, we’ll harvest directly from the garden and prepare a fresh, seasonal meal together. As we gather and cook, we’ll reflect on what it means to eat in harmony with Earth’s calendar—listening to the land to guide our nourishment. Eating what’s in season isn't just delicious—it’s deeply healing. Foods harvested at their peak are more flavorful, nutrient-rich, and aligned with our bodies’ needs in that moment. We’ll talk about the health benefits of what’s growing now and how incorporating seasonal foods and herbs into our daily lives can support long-term wellness. Perma-blitz combines learning workshops with volunteering. Participants will learn skills from experts in the field and have an opportunity to practice them as a group through current stewardship projects happening on KLT-protected lands. *A light meal will be co-prepared using ingredients harvested from the land.

In this workshop we will explore the calming and meditative technique of this Japanese style of marbling paper using ink and water. Using two brushes and sumi ink, we will experiment with shapes, colors, and the air itself as it changes the shapes on the surface of the water. The circles and swirly patterns are then “printed” onto paper to create a beautiful record of a moment in time. Once dry, you can use the papers for binding books or other objects, collage, or simply frame and enjoy as 2D art. The studio is located in mid-town Kingston, NY, in a Victorian storefront building. Plenty of street parking, and ice cream across the street! Information Source: Zephyrine Press | eventbrite
