Join Carefree artist Virginia Brooks as she describes her hilarious upbringing as a cartoonist’s kid in Westport, CT in the 50’s and 60’s. “It was an unusual upbringing. Every cartoonist I ever met was a little bit crazy. We were the kids of the Funny Families. The Blondies, The Popeyes, the Orphan Annies…and in my case, The Jackson Twins."
If you like laughing, come be a part of the fun! And enjoy the memorabilia Virginia will bring with her on Wednesday, November 20th at 1:30 pm. Register at dfla.org.

You suffer an immobilizing injury on the trail, now what happens? What do you do? What can you do?
“After the Fall; My Helicopter Rescue Off the Mountain” chronicles the dramatic real-life emergency Rick Kamel faced with his call for a chopper to rescue him as he lay helpless on a harsh desert mountain trail.
Rick said, “Attendees will gain detailed insight into the strategies and tactics I used to facilitate a safe, speedy and smooth rescue for me and most importantly the rescue team.”
Rick, an accomplished solo mountain, forest and desert hiker who moved to Maricopa County over a decade ago, shares photos of his own helicopter rescue and the hours that followed this harrowing experience.
Rick has received sterling reviews giving this presentation to hiking clubs, community organizations of all types and REIs throughout the Southwest. So please join us for this totally unique perspective with gripping photos of real-life, as it happened rescue.
Join Rick TOMORROW at 1 pm. No registration is required.
