Since the ninth century, millions of world travelers have embarked on an epic pilgrimage across northern Spain that is known to be profoundly enlightening, spiritually nourishing, and physically challenging. Today, several hundred thousand people a year embark on this mostly unpaved path with little more than a backpack and a pair of boots.
Through Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago, we are able to journey into the hearts and minds of six modern-day pilgrims as they cope with blisters, exhaustion, loneliness, and self-doubt to triumph over fears and prejudices that have become road-blocks to living a fulfilled life. Find out why audiences everywhere are raving about the film that Marin Sheen, star of The Way, calls a “brilliant documentary.”

Hawaiians believe this music is the soul of their culture, thus the term “Hawaiian soul music.” Produced and directed by Susan Friedman, this award winning film played theatrically all over the Northwest, opening at the UA and the Castro Theater in San Francisco.\NThis compelling look at Hawaiian Slack Key guitar unveils a cultural richness that is uniquely Hawaiian.The story is told not by a narrator, but by each artist telling their story in their own words, and the spirit and feeling that is within the culture of the Hawaiian people emerges.\NThe development of slack key corresponds to Hawaiian history, and tells of the changes within Hawaiian culture while preserving its tradition in form and verse. Slack Key guitar is a traditional solo fingerpicking style unique to Hawaii. Hawaiians have been playing slack key since the early 1800s when traditional guitars were brought to the islands by the Spanish cowboys.\NThe Hawaiians tuned or “slacked” the strings to suit their own music.

The film features master guitarist, Raymond Kane and highlights many other native Hawaiians that both perform and speak not only about the history and the music, but address the wider problems of cultural transformation as well. Hawaiians believe this music is the soul of their culture, thus the term “Hawaiian soul music.” Produced and directed by Susan Friedman, this award winning film played theatrically all over the Northwest, opening at the UA and the Castro Theater in San Francisco.
This compelling look at Hawaiian Slack Key guitar unveils a cultural richness that is uniquely Hawaiian.The story is told not by a narrator, but by each artist telling their story in their own words, and the spirit and feeling that is within the culture of the Hawaiian people emerges.
The development of slack key corresponds to Hawaiian history, and tells of the changes within Hawaiian culture while preserving its tradition in form and verse. Slack Key guitar is a traditional solo fingerpicking style unique to Hawaii. Hawaiians have been playing slack key since the early 1800s when traditional guitars were brought to the islands by the Spanish cowboys.
The Hawaiians tuned or “slacked” the strings to suit their own music. The tradition extends beyond the islands to influence many musicians including Ry Cooder and Chet Atkins. This film tells the story of slack key guitar through an intimate portrait of Raymond Kane, a man who holds a special place in the domain of traditional Hawaiian music.
The style of the films reflects the “down home” feeling of the slack key guitar, and of Raymond Kane himself. “It’s sweet, it’s good for the soul,” Raymond says. Over four years in the making, this film, with its infectious musical aspects that are specifically Hawaiian, its fascinating main character and its rich visual material and verité sequences, will be an important document of Hawaiian culture to share with contemporary audiences.

Viewers are swept into a seafaring adventure with a community of Polynesians, as they build traditional sailing canoes, learn how to follow the stars across the open ocean, and embark upon a 2,000-mile voyage in the wake of their ancestors. An award-winning PBS documentary, Wayfinders focuses on the revival of wayfinding — the art of guiding a canoe across long distances using only natural signs: the sun, the moon, the stars and the ocean swells. Nainoa Thompson is the first Hawaiian in hundreds of years to master celestial navigation. By passing on these ancient skills to a new generation of wayfinders, Nainoa begins the process of recovering connections with the past and preparing for the challenges of the future. (57 min)

Marilyn King is a two-time Olympian in the grueling five event Pentathlon. Her 20-year athletic career includes five national titles and a World Record. An automobile accident in 1979 rendered her unable to train physically for her third Olympic Team. Using only mental training techniques she placed second at the Olympic trials for the 1980 Moscow Games.
This extraordinary experience and the resulting research led to a 30-year career as an expert in the field of exceptional human performance. Her work is a powerful example of applying skills learned through sports to three specific areas: business, education and peace.
Ms. King’s participation in an international, five-year think tank on the role of business in peace building led to a career that includes conducting programs for senior executives with global responsibilities at Fortune 500 companies. Her corporate clients include: AT&T, Apple Computer, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Ikea, Microsoft, Nokia, Oracle, Swiss Reinsurance, Starbucks and Wells Fargo.

Frederick Marx is well known for his film Hoop Dreams and his latest project is Veterans Journey Home.
Veterans Journey Home aims to tell a different kind of “Hero’s Journey,” about American veterans struggling to transition emotionally and psychologically from soldiers back into civilians. They need “reverse boot camp." This story focusses on a new concept of bravery: bravery to face anguish and loss, fear and rage, paralyzing self-doubt, shame, and even self-hatred.

SYNOPSIS
DAN’S MOTEL is a trilogy of mood pieces, with prologue, that situates the viewer at a lonely motel by the sea. The motel acts as a last refuge for disintegrating lives.
Part One, “The Conduit,” is the yarn of a gangster-poet who has ‘holed-up’ at the motel. His only contact with the outside world is a cripple who brings him supplies and provides him with lady companions.
Part Two, “Kathleen,” is the story of a woman who has never committed herself to anything until the day she checks into the motel to commit suicide.
Part Three, “The Advantage,” is the tale of a country singer and composer who plays hard and lives fast, but finds success eluding her.
"Off a California coastal highway, somewhat isolated, stands the tacky and romantic Dan's Motel--three stories plus prologue. Quirky and surprising, this low-budget compendium of short narratives was shot by the director/editor himself (a bail bondsman by occupation) in four weekends over three years. The motel, described as a last refuge for disintegrating lives, is actually a sympathetic and soothing haven for its lonely guests--eccentrics, would-be suicides and stand-up comics, poets and singers—all who are somewhat revived in Dan's cheap rooms. Deceptively straightforward, the film is a true and emotionally winning original."

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER
After graduating from the Art Institute of San Francisco in 1979, Jerry Barrish, who had majored in Cinema wanted to show the World what he could do. He wrote a script for a 24-minute film about a gangster who was holed up in a derelict hotel. The location for the shoot was Dan’s Motel in Moss Beach, which is long gone. He gathered his friends to shoot the film, edited it, and entered it in the Edinburgh Film Festival. It was accepted, and Jerry flew there for the premiere. Everyone there loved it, but the distributors scorned short films as not having a market, and they were not interested.
Remember this was in a day when films were still shot on celluloid and there was no internet for self distribution. A print was something carried in a large can and cost a lot of money to make even one copy. He was lucky because he had a Bail Bonds business from which he could finance his project.
Jerry came home and went back to screenwriting, writing two more short films – all taking place at the same “derelect” hotel.
Thus it became a trilogy of stories taking place, and when the 80-minute feature was finished it won acclaim both here and abroad.

He has assisted California State Vector Control Biologists to collect ticks in a portion of Calaveras County for research purposes. Starting in the 1990s, he would offer advice to individuals who had been bitten by ticks or developed Lyme symptoms. Steve strongly believes that education is the most important way to reduce your risk and increase your awareness of tick-borne diseases.\NInfected black-legged (deer) ticks and individuals suffering from Lyme are found in 30 countries worldwide, all 50 states in the US, and 42 of the 58 counties of California and in every park on the San Francisco Peninsula. In 2017, 427,430 Americans were infected with Lyme disease. This is 1.3 times as many as the number of American women who contracted breast cancer and 11 times as many as Americans that contracted HIV the same year. However, federal funding of Lyme disease has been meager. For example Lyme disease receives less than 1% of the federal funding allotted to HIV/AIDS by the National Institute of Health (NIH). Many Lyme patients suffer needlessly for years, and are shuffled through the health care system as they look for answers while enduring the skepticism of practitioners; disabled and suffering long-term consequences of misdiagnoses.\N\NAfter an individual is bitten by an infected black-legged tick they have six months before they develop chronic Lyme disease. To the best of my knowledge I was bitten in 1995 by infected western blacklegged nymphal tick while working on trails as a Ranger/Naturalist for EBMUD on the Pardee/Camanche Watershed. I did not develop the "bullseye" rash (which only occurs in 38% of the cases). I was told I had chronic fatigue, after seeing my Kaiser doctor for headache, neck aches, pain in my large joints, short term memory loss, night sweats,heart palpitations, G.I. system problems and urinary tract problems, disorientation and sleep disorders.Photo: Antibiotic medication being self-administered by Steve in 1998 for advanced late stage Lyme disease through a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC line) in his arm.\N\NAdmission is free\NWe appreciate your generous donation that supports the Scholarship Fund and other community programs of the Half Moon Bay Odd Fellows.

Going outside is a life-threatening proposition, but residential neighborhoods are targeted as indiscriminately as markets, schools and other places. Hospitals, medical centers and ambulances are also fair game for the Assad government and its Russian allies.\NSafety and hope lie underground, where a brave group of doctors and nurses have established a subterranean hospital called the Cave. Under the leadership of a young female pediatrician, Dr. Amani Ballour, the Cave offers hope and healing to the sick and injured children and civilians of Eastern Al Ghouta. In a conservative patriarchal society that devalues women, Dr. Amani is frequently subject to hostility from men who refuse to see her as a capable physician. But Dr. Amani doesn’t back down, and inside the Cave, women have reclaimed their right to work as equals alongside their male counterparts. They risk their lives to save their patients and find ways to persevere in a world of cruelty, injustice and suffering. For Dr. Amani and her colleagues Samaher and Dr. Alaa, their battle is not only to survive but to maintain their dreams and hopes for their country and for women.\N{youtube}TaZkwBWuN2A{/youtube}\NWHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP\NEncourage Community and Classroom ScreeningsTell your peers, family and friends about THE CAVE and the opportunity to host screenings.

She is astonished as the creature flutters forth from a carved box, exclaiming, “Beautiful! Beautiful! Is it alive? Is it alive?” When the creature alights on her finger, she turns to Owen and says, “Is it alive? Tell me if it be alive, or whether you created it.” Owen replies, “Wherefore ask who created it, so it be beautiful?” Later on, an imprudent boy cruelly destroys the insect.\NWhile I was filming “Last Men in Aleppo,” we kept focus on the military targeting of hospitals over a few years. Hospitals were demolished. Medics as well as patients were killed. The systematic targeting of hospitals was used as revenge, intimidation and a method to create chaos and force citizens to flee. No international countermeasures were introduced to stop these barbaric and vengeful attacks.\NIt became impossible for the health sector to exist on the surface, so hospitals were built underground. I was able to visit a number of them, and it was astonishing to witness the human ingenuity at work. These hospitals became the only hope for people to survive and receive treatment. And they provided a place where men and women could work together. In fact, these limited underground spaces might be the only places where women can work.\NIn the Cave, I witnessed how these female doctors and nurses are fighting to reclaim their rights in these subterranean hospitals. They stand up for themselves, which is something they couldn’t do aboveground in the patriarchal culture surrounding them. These women are truly an inspiration to me, and I believe with this film they will inspire the world as well — contributing to breaking the silence of the outside world. If the silence toward the brutality isn’t broken and if no measures are taken against war crimes, then there is a problem in man’s universal claim to possess the rights of freedom, law and justice.\NThe current time in history is frightening because people are keener to glorify power. Like Hawthorne’s “The Artist of the Beautiful,” I wanted this film to be poetic — a film that helps us to look into the darkest corners of our souls and to inspire us to search for the light.\N— Feras Fayyad X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:In besieged Eastern Al Ghouta, incessant bombardment has turned the landscape into an eerie wasteland dotted with bombed-out buildings and piles of rubble.

Is it alive?” When the creature alights on her finger, she turns to Owen and says, “Is it alive? Tell me if it be alive, or whether you created it.” Owen replies, “Wherefore ask who created it, so it be beautiful?” Later on, an imprudent boy cruelly destroys the insect.
While I was filming “Last Men in Aleppo,” we kept focus on the military targeting of hospitals over a few years. Hospitals were demolished. Medics as well as patients were killed. The systematic targeting of hospitals was used as revenge, intimidation and a method to create chaos and force citizens to flee. No international countermeasures were introduced to stop these barbaric and vengeful attacks.
It became impossible for the health sector to exist on the surface, so hospitals were built underground. I was able to visit a number of them, and it was astonishing to witness the human ingenuity at work. These hospitals became the only hope for people to survive and receive treatment. And they provided a place where men and women could work together. In fact, these limited underground spaces might be the only places where women can work.
In the Cave, I witnessed how these female doctors and nurses are fighting to reclaim their rights in these subterranean hospitals. They stand up for themselves, which is something they couldn’t do aboveground in the patriarchal culture surrounding them. These women are truly an inspiration to me, and I believe with this film they will inspire the world as well — contributing to breaking the silence of the outside world. If the silence toward the brutality isn’t broken and if no measures are taken against war crimes, then there is a problem in man’s universal claim to possess the rights of freedom, law and justice.
The current time in history is frightening because people are keener to glorify power. Like Hawthorne’s “The Artist of the Beautiful,” I wanted this film to be poetic — a film that helps us to look into the darkest corners of our souls and to inspire us to search for the light.

“Sylvia Herold is one of those gifted musicians who has it all. Exceptional guitar playing, amazingly beautiful vocal chops, and the musical knowledge to back it all up. I love her music and musicianship.”
—Jim Nunally, musician/producer
Singer, guitarist, and song sleuth Sylvia Herold masterfully mines the motherlode of American jazz and popular song from the 1930s through the 1960s. Songs of wit and romance by composers Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, George Gershwin, and Harold Arlen are lovingly rendered in a voice the San Francisco Examiner calls “mesmerizing.” Herold was a member of the swing vocal trio Cats & Jammers and played extensively with The Hot Club of San Francisco.
Currently, she tours and records with Wake the Dead, Sylvia Herold and the Rhythm Bugs, and Euphonia, as well as The Sylvia Herold Ensemble. She has appeared on more than 25 albums, including five solo recordings. Herold is a resident teacher at the Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley and has also taught at Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, California Coast Music Camp, Port Townsend Voice Works, and British Columbia Swing Camp.
She will be joined by renowned Bay Area jazz guitarist Mike Wollenberg—who has performed with such greats as Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Juice Newton, Jethro Burns, and the David Grisman Quintet—and by Bay Area jazz bassist Chuck Ervin.

The film illustrates the importance of seizing on opportunities in finding one’s true potential — especially relevant for today! The amazingly talented dancers in the film were recruited by Childers from Coastside’s FIT Studio, Shelly Pack Dancers, and extras from Sea Crest School. Make it a great day and evening by supporting our Coastside communities and creative talent at Make It Main Street the first Thursday of each month in Half Moon Bay July 1 through November!

The public is invited.
Local Odd Fellows member Gordon Wiltsie, a veteran explorer, writer and National Geographic photographer, will show pictures and talk about what he has learned from his long career documenting some of the wildest places and cultures on earth.
The talk will cover the span of his adventures, beginning as a college student vagabonding in Europe and Asia and moving quickly onwards to dramatic mountaineering, skiing and polar dogsledding expeditions, often accompanied by the leading climbers and explorers of our times.
He will take us to places as varied as the North and South Poles, up remote granite cliffs that took weeks to climb and galloping across Mongolian steppes with the descendants of Genghis Khan. It will be an evening to be remembered.
Preceding the presentation and starting at 5:30, Gordon will also be hosting an exhibit celebrating the work of other highly-talented Coastside photographers who join him each month to show pictures and share passions at the Odd Fellows Photo Rendezvous.
He will also be signing copies of his acclaimed book, “To the Ends of the Earth, Adventures of an Expedition Photographer.”

The Unitarian Universalist Coastside Community (UUCC) is happy to welcome Rabbi Moshe Heyn to the pulpit with our first in-person service since Pandemic closures, with a sermon entitled “Holy Chutzpah" at the Odd Fellows Hall. The Joys of Yiddish defines chutzpah as “gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible ‘guts.’” The word can be used negatively to describe the arrogance of overstepping an appropriate boundary, or it can be used positively to express admiration for someone's courage.\NRabbi Shlomo Carlebach, a charismatic religious leader of the 20th century, coined the term “holy chutzpah” to describe the gutsiness it often takes to pursue the path of holiness, righteousness or love. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a courageous civil rights leader of the 20th century, called it “spiritual audacity.”\NIn the midst of the many crises our world is facing now, one could rightfully ask: has religion been a positive or negative influence? Has it helped us to become kinder and more compassionate people? Has it inspired us to be more courageous in advocating for justice, equality and inclusion? It is up to us to answer those questions, not by our words but by our actions. It's time for some holy chutzpah.\NMoshe Tom Heyn is a rabbi, musician, chaplain, spiritual activist, and surfer who practices and teaches a synthesis of humanism and mysticism. In addition to his work as a Hospice Chaplain for VITAS Healthcare, he proudly serves as the Spiritual Leader of Coastside Jewish Community.\NUUCC requests proof of vaccination for those who attend our in-person services to protect our cherished seniors who attend. We will also be using an abundance of caution by requiring mask wearing throughout the service, with the exception of the guest speaker.

The Unitarian Universalist Coastside Community (UUCC) is happy to welcome Rabbi Moshe Heyn to the pulpit with our first in-person service since Pandemic closures, with a sermon entitled “Holy Chutzpah" at the Odd Fellows Hall. The Joys of Yiddish defines chutzpah as “gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible ‘guts.’” The word can be used negatively to describe the arrogance of overstepping an appropriate boundary, or it can be used positively to express admiration for someone's courage.
Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, a charismatic religious leader of the 20th century, coined the term “holy chutzpah” to describe the gutsiness it often takes to pursue the path of holiness, righteousness or love. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a courageous civil rights leader of the 20th century, called it “spiritual audacity.”
In the midst of the many crises our world is facing now, one could rightfully ask: has religion been a positive or negative influence? Has it helped us to become kinder and more compassionate people? Has it inspired us to be more courageous in advocating for justice, equality and inclusion? It is up to us to answer those questions, not by our words but by our actions. It's time for some holy chutzpah.
Moshe Tom Heyn is a rabbi, musician, chaplain, spiritual activist, and surfer who practices and teaches a synthesis of humanism and mysticism. In addition to his work as a Hospice Chaplain for VITAS Healthcare, he proudly serves as the Spiritual Leader of Coastside Jewish Community.
Meet at the Odd Fellows Hall for a multimedia evening featuring activist art by Nancy Margulies, followed by a documentary about Nancy’s life and work. Local filmmaker Ray Day created the film and he and Nancy will be on hand for Q&A’s.
A conversation with audience will follow exploring issues raised by the film.
Join us at 7:00 PM for a reception in the gallery, followed by the evening’s program, with the film beginning at 7:30 PM.

Given the rise in Covid cases and the high rate of contagion with the current variants, we are requiring all attendees to wear masks when inside the main hall where the film is being screened. During the reception, doors and windows will be open and masks should be worn, except when you are eating or drinking. Thank you for following our safety measures.
All proceeds and donations from this event will support Ukrainian refugees through HIAS, a nonprofit that stands for a world in which refugees find welcome, safety, and opportunity. HIAS provides vital services to refugees and asylum seekers around the world and advocates for their fundamental rights so they can rebuild their lives.

The Phantom of the Opera is a 1925 American silent horror film adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, directed by Rupert Julian and starring Lon Chaney in the title role of the deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to make the woman he loves a star. The film remains most famous for Chaney's ghastly, self-devised make-up, which was kept a studio secret until the film's premiere.
{youtube}8r3pVtpN9Uc{/youtube}
The film will be presented with an original score composed and performed on the piano by Coastside musician Shauna Pickett-Gordon.

A forerunner of the American horror film, and one of the most lavish productions of the silent cinema, The Phantom of the Opera has inspired countless remakes and imitations. But none of its successors can rival the mesmerizing blend of romance and mystery that haunts every frame of the Lon Chaney original. This special Blu-ray edition presents the 1929 theatrical version, restored from archival 35mm elements by Film Preservation Associates. It is highlighted by the Technicolor Bal Masque sequence (in which the Phantom interrupts the revelry wearing the scarlet robes of the Red Death), as well as meticulously hand-colored sequences (replicating the Handschiegl Color Process).

Special Showing – One Day Only
Noon to 5 PM: This event is free and open to the public. Stay as long as you like.
2 PM presentation: Introduction to Galen Wolf, his works and reading of his stories.
More than 50 pieces of art by Galen Wolf will be on display during this one-day show. An accomplished storyteller as well as a talented artist, his knowledge of the Coastside's history was acquired firsthand, through his own experiences and those of his family and friends. Galen painted the California Missions in the 1930s, worked as a WPA artist in the early 40s, and developed a unique style of painting he called "mosaic" in the 1950s. He was a founding member of Thirty and One Artists, the Society of Western Artists, and, more locally, the Spanishtown Historical Society.
Shannon lived on the Coastside since 1969, and currently resides in in Oregon. She began collecting Galen Wolf's paintings in 1998 and researching his life and art the following year. Since 2005 she has been preserving and archiving a collection of Wolf's paintings, writings, and artifacts that belonged to the artist's late daughter, Ressa Fairbanks. After Shannon retired from a career as a library paraprofessional in 2008, she reprinted Wolf's local history booklets, The Town That Was, Coastland, and 1885. In 2012, she published Legends of the Coastland, a folkloric history of the San Mateo County Coast written and illustrated by Galen Wolf.
Copies of Legends of the Coastland, reprints of the booklets, The Town That Was, Coastland, and 1885 will be available for purchase while supplies last.

Imagine you confront your enemy—a giant, scary robot from outer space—and he becomes your best pal.
A heart-warming, family-friendly animated feature set during the Cold War in 1957, The Iron Giant centers on a young boy named Hogarth Hughes, who discovers and befriends a giant alien robot. The extraterrestrial's presence unleashes a wave of Cold War paranoia that threatens to engulf the peaceful town of Rockwell, Maine, but with the help of a beatnik artist named Dean McCoppin, Hogarth attempts to prevent the U.S. military and a paranoid federal agent from finding and destroying the huge, gentle robot.
The Iron Giant was directed by Brad Bird and based on a 1968 children’s book by Ted Hughes.

Miramar today is known for its restaurants and sunsets. It is a quiet, nice place to visit. It wasn’t always the case.
This small section of the coast has seen human activity for thousands of years. Home to the Chiguan tribe, it had a place in Spanish Mission history, in the earliest days of the town of Halfmoon Bay, played a role during prohibition, and in California defense during World War II. Not bad for a small section of the coast.
Speaker Jo Fry is a Half Moon Bay local, a self-proclaimed history geek, volunteer docent and Bottle Curator for the HMBHA. An avid beachcomber and sea glass artist, beachcombing finds led her to research this stretch of our coastline. She will be sharing artifacts and their connection to Miramar's history.
Much change has come about to Princeton and the fisheries of the West Coast. The history of the Coastside is also rich with change. Ernie Koepf is here to speak on both.
Ernie Koepf was born (1951) and raised in Moss Beach, and raised his own family in El Granada. He now resides in the hills of Oakland with his wife of 16 years, Jan Moestue.
Early in his life he was initiated into the fishing community and was known as Little Ernie to his father’s Big Ernie, a prominent commercial fisherman in the community.
Coming of age, Ernie Koepf (the junior) began his own fishing career. He retired in 2016 after fishing his two boats for 30 years for salmon and crab and 45 years for herring in SF Bay. To his fishing credits he also adds two years in Bristol Bay and two years in Southeast Alaska. He also served as a harbor patrolman at Pillar Point Harbor and ran a haul out facility for SMCHD, in addition to Search and Rescue. Among his appointments, he is a past president of the Half Moon Bay Fishermen’s Marketing Association, port representative to the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations, Executive Director to the Alliance of Communities for Sustainable Fisheries and board member of several fishing co-operatives.
In his retirement, he has written and self-published three works of fiction and one work of non-fiction; Opening Day, Common Criminals, Wrecking Crew and Shipwreck. This last book being the true unsung tale of survival by a real old-timer of Half Moon Bay, Hjalmar Johnson.

Stewart Udall left a profound legacy of conservation and environmental justice as Secretary of the Interior during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. His social and environmental successes stemmed from his ability to bring together people with disparate interests, and inspire them to achieve common goals. His example can serve us well today!
More importantly perhaps, Udall called on all Americans to move away from our emphasis on economic growth and consumerism and toward quality of life, and a new politics centered on beauty, frugal living, appreciation of nature and the arts, and a recognition of the Earth’s limits.
Executive Producer and award-winning documentary filmmaker Kevin White will be present for Q&A after the screening.

Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town is a 1970 stop motion Christmas television special narrated by Fred Astaire and starring the voices of Mickey Rooney, Keenan Wynn, Robie Lester, Joan Gardner, and Paul Frees, as well as an assistant song performance by the Westminster Children's Choir. The film tells the story of how Santa Claus and several Claus-related Christmas traditions came to be. It is based on the hit Christmas song "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town."
A Charlie Brown Christmas is a 1965 animated television special. In the special, Charlie Brown finds himself depressed despite the onset of the cheerful holiday season. Lucy suggests he direct a neighborhood Christmas play, but his best efforts are ignored and mocked by his peers when he chooses a real, but puny, Christmas tree as a centerpiece.
Home Alone is a 1990 American Christmas comedy film directed by Chris Columbus and written and produced by John Hughes. The film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O'Hara. Culkin plays Kevin McCallister, a boy who defends his suburban Chicago home from a home invasion by a pair of robbers after his family accidentally leaves him behind on their Christmas vacation to Paris.
The Year Without a Santa Claus is a 1974 stop motion animated Christmas television special produced by Rankin/Bass Productions. The story is based on Phyllis McGinley's 1956 book of the same name. It is narrated by Shirley Booth and starring the voices of Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, and George S. Irving. It was originally broadcast on December 10, 1974, on ABC.
It's a Wonderful Life is a 1946 American Christmas supernatural drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra. It is loosely based on the 1843 Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol. The film stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a man who has given up his personal dreams in order to help others in his community and whose thoughts of suicide on Christmas Eve bring about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers). Clarence shows George all the lives he touched and what the world would be like if he did not exist.

There will be a discussion following the screening with the film creators:
The Half Moon Bay Volunteer Fire Department started in 1879 as Hose Company No. 1 and held its first official meeting in 1899. That first meeting was at the IOOF Hall in Half Moon Bay.
Come to the same historic IOOF Hall on February 1 for the History Association’s winter program! Today’s Volunteer Firefighters will present the department's colorful history and tales of courage through the years.
This event is a free presentation by the HMB History Association. No reservation needed. Doors open at 5:30 PM. Program starts at 6:00 PM sharp.

A boy (Harold Lloyd) moves to New York City to make enough money to support his loving girlfriend (Mildred Davis), but soon discovers that making it in the Big City is harder than it looks. When he hears that a store manager will pay $1,000 to anyone who can draw people to his store, he convinces his friend, the "human fly," (Bill Strother) to climb the building and split the profit with him. But when his pal gets in trouble with the law, he must complete the crazy stunt on his own.
Release date: April 1, 1923 (USA)
An evening of acoustic guitar virtuosity honoring these two great Northern California instrumentalists' recent release of their respective third solo CDs. Teja's "Test of Time" and Mark's "Woodenhouse." This will be a guitar lover's event with pieces featured on 6 and 12 string guitar, resonator, nylon string, baritone and more. Opening act Montara's own "Holler Folk" to warm up the hall for the evening.
San Francisco Bay Area guitarist Teja Gerken has enchanted audiences ever since coming onto the acoustic fingerstyle scene in the late 1990s. Initially influenced by guitarists such as John Renbourn, Michael Hedges, and Leo Kottke, Teja ultimately began weaving together his diverse musical interest into a style that is his own, releasing his debut album On My Way in 1999. In the two decades since, Teja has fine-tuned his sets to include original compositions, Celtic traditionals, classical pieces, jazz standards, and some favorite tunes by his fingerstyle guitar peers, several of which are included on 2005’s Postcards. Teja’s latest release is 2024’s Test of Time, and he also collaborated with fellow Bay Area guitarist Doug Young on 2020’s Duets.
Mark's styles are influenced by Michael Hedges, Pat Metheny, Lawrence Juber, Alex DeGrassi, Tommy Emmanuel, Al DiMeola, Leo Kottke and Pierre Bensusan for starters. Other influences include Guinga, Baden Powell and Jobim in the Brazilian genre.

Realizing that they share common foes in Margaret Thatcher, the police and the conservative press, London-based gays and lesbians lend their support to striking coal miners in 1984 Wales.
This legitimately inspirational and thoroughly-feel-good movie is about an unusual but extraordinary slice of history involving the solidarity of a gay-and-lesbian activist group and the National Union of Mineworkers during the London strikes of the Thatcher era.
“This film moves effortlessly from some pretty intense dramatic moments to hilarious scenes showcasing the contrasting lifestyles of the gay and straight worlds to some vignettes of incredible poignancy. Pride is as heart-warming as it is a rousing call for radical resistance and solidarity between oppressed groups.”

You've undoubtedly heard about Isaac Newton and his apple, but did you know he was a stealthy sleuth who tracked down counterfeiters in the sordid backstreets of London? Or that he was a hidden Christian apostate, the only professor at Cambridge University of his day who refused to become an ordained minister as (typically) required?
Come to the Odd Fellows Hall and learn more about this odd fellow who set the course of the scientific revolution at the same time as he plumbed the depths of Theology and Alchemy. You'll also get he opportunity to explore a collection of artefacts, books and ephemera related to his life and work that will be on display. And you might even win a piece from the collection in the Lucky Draw that will end the evening.
I have been a collector since I was nine years old. With an avid interest in the history and philosophy of science and mathematics, it was a natural I would have been drawn to Isaac Newton and for the past 30 years I have been building a small collection of material related to his life and work. For me sharing a collection is integral to its value and so I am very much looking forward to sharing this collection with my friends and neighbors.

I have loved creating images since I received my first set of crayons. I’m up for exploring any creative form: I've written books, made comics, performed woman theatrical shows, made documentaries.
I doodle most of my waking hours, and am finally old enough no one can stop me!

Footnotes Jazz is a San Francisco Bay Area jazz ensemble that showcases contemporary and original music classics.
The group performs the music of contemporary writers such as Gordon Goodwin, Tom Kubis and Vince Mendoza in addition to classics from Thad Jones, Duke Ellington and Sammy Nestico. Footnotes also features original sounds by some local Bay Area composers such as Wayne Wallace, Rick Walsh, Tod Dickow, Howard Cespedes and their own pianist Paul Mernyk.
Footnotes Jazz rose from the ashes of the Foothill College Big Band program after budget cuts dismantled the music program. The members of the Foothill Evening ensemble renamed and reconvened as an independent group, Footnotes Jazz.

PASANG: In the Shadow of Everest chronicles Pasang Lhamu Sherpa’s inspiring journey to become the first Nepali woman to summit Everest. As an uneducated, indigenous woman and a Buddhist in a Hindu kingdom, Pasang’s dream to scale the legendary mountain pits her against family, foreign climbers, her own government, and nature itself.
Her determined pursuit of Everest plays out within the context of her nation’s quest for democracy and the emergence of the commercial climbing industry. As told by the Nepalis who knew her, by some of the world’s most notable alpinists, and by Pasang herself, PASANG: In the Shadow of Everest, documents her historic quest that would transfix her country and uplift a new generation’s belief in its possibilities.
Ang Dorjee Sherpa, Producer
Pasang Lhamu Sherpa’s oldest brother who has summited Everest 20 times.
Nancy Svendsen, Director/Producer
A passionate storyteller since her childhood in rural Iowa, she recently turned from healthcare to filmmaking. This is her first feature documentary.

A beloved American institution, the public library’s founding principle is simple: build a place where anyone can enter, free of charge, and encounter a universe of ideas. “Free for All: The Public Library” chronicles the fascinating evolution of the American public library’s trajectory, from the original “Free Library Movement” that began in the late 19th century to the present, when many libraries find themselves caught in the crosshairs of the culture wars and struggling to survive amid budget cuts and closures.
By the time she was 12, director Dawn Logsdon had visited over 100 libraries in almost every state as she and her teacher-parents road-tripped across America during their summer vacations. In “Free for All,” she and co-director Faulknor embark on a new journey – a fun and eye-opening jaunt from Louisiana to California, Massachusetts to Wisconsin, New York to Oregon, and more, visiting landmark sites in library history and uncovering the stories of the colorful personalities who shaped our libraries and the communities they serve. The film highlights inspiring librarians, past and present, mostly women dedicated to upholding the library’s integral position within our democracy, spreading literacy, offering solace and refuge, and uplifting their communities.

Fifty years ago there were no women working aboard tugboats in San Francisco Bay. Jan Tiura didn’t know that but if she had, it wouldn’t have stopped her from trying to get aboard. A blue water sailor, she knew that that was what she wanted to do. As with many things in her early life, if her compass swung to “can’t not” then, come hell or high water, she was going to make it happen!
Jan will talk about her professional maritime career, deckhand to captain, aboard tugboats as well as her years of skippering the presidential yacht USS POTOMAC, FDR’s floating White House.
Illustrating her talk with striking photos which will transport you to the heart of the Bay.
Conversation with the legendary Bob Dooley, a local professional fisherman who worked in the Bering Sea for decades.

No strangers to the Coastside, the California Cowboys deliver a powerful Country Western sound. Band leader and singer song-writer, R.W. Smith is the polished showman. Hal Atkinson (CCMA’s Drummer of the year, 1994), guitar player Gary Potterton (producer of "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer") and bass player, Bill Mooney and legendary Steel Guitarist, Bobby Black, produce a clear punch of tight, three-part harmonies and a true country western sound. These fine musicians form one of California's most successful country-western bands. Bring your dancin’ boots!

In Nepal's remote Dolpo region, where fewer than 90 snow leopards remain, conservationist Tshiring Lhamu Lama has a mission: to save the endangered animals. She takes on 17-year old Tenzin Bhuti Gurung as her apprentice - a girl whose family has suffered from snow leopard attacks on their livestock.
As they trek through the treacherous yet breathtaking Himalayan landscape, Tshiring helps Tenzin understand the delicate balance between protecting wildlife and supporting herding communities. Through intimate footage and stunning cinematography, Snow Leopard Sisters captures the power of women's voices in shaping a better future for themselves and the elusive snow leopard.
Snow Leopard Conservancy is proud to be the impact partner for the feature length documentary, Snow Leopard Sisters, highlighting the work of our longstanding local partner Tshiring Lhamu Lama and her ground-breaking conservation efforts to preserve the snow leopard population in her home district of Dolpo, Nepal. We are working together to reduce retaliatory killings through local education programming, construction of predator-proof corrals, and establishing a green local economy centered on snow leopard conservation. Please join our Snow Leopard Sisters Impact Campaign.
Following the screening will be an in-person discussion with event hosts Wendy and Karma Lama of KarmaQuest Ecotourism and Adventure Travel and Karen Campbell of Snow Leopard Conservancy. Filmmakers Ben Ayers and Sonam Choekyi Lama will join remotely via livestream.

The Future of Normal is a documentary by local filmmaker Gail Evenari that explores how our society’s rigid standards of conformity have marginalized individuals who think and learn differently.
At the film’s core are stories from neurodivergent individuals and the amazing parents, educators, scientists and advocates who support them. Together they are challenging and changing the systems that have stigmatized them. Their stories are profoundly disheartening, fiercely inspiring and powerful enough to spark a movement.
By bringing attention to neurodiversity, a concept that recognizes the rich spectrum of cognitive variability, The Future of Normal reaches into the fundamental structures of American society to examine the nature of human intelligence, the myriad ways that our brains can learn, and the rationale for embracing a new definition of normal.

The Showcase will feature four local songwriters playing and singing their original works. Each songwriter will perform 30 minutes to spotlight their original compositions, including one or two musicians of their choice to accompany them, or just solo.\NShowcase Performers\N\N\N\N\N\N\NRick Mixter\NI was born and raised in New England in a musical family. Like many young people at the time, the Beatles and the folk music of the time inspired me to pick up a guitar. After college, I “lit out for the Territory” (as Huckleberry Finn says) and settled in the Bay Area. I was fortunate to find musical friends and I have played both solo and in bands ever since. I started writing songs in college and 50 years later I still see no reason to stop.\N\N\N\N\N\N\N\N\NAllie Schulz\NAllie Schulz is a songwriter whose path has followed a long arc from Nashville to Half Moon Bay. Raised in the heart of Music City, her earliest instincts were shaped by the craft of songwriting long before she headed to New York to work in musical theater—including a stint on Broadway playing “Rizzo” in Grease.\NEventually, the pull of writing her own music led her to California.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:This is the Odd Fellow’s first time ever Songwriter’s Showcase. The Showcase will feature four local songwriters playing and singing their original works. Each songwriter will perform 30 minutes to spotlight their original compositions, including one or two musicians of their choice to accompany them, or just solo.
I was born and raised in New England in a musical family. Like many young people at the time, the Beatles and the folk music of the time inspired me to pick up a guitar. After college, I “lit out for the Territory” (as Huckleberry Finn says) and settled in the Bay Area. I was fortunate to find musical friends and I have played both solo and in bands ever since. I started writing songs in college and 50 years later I still see no reason to stop.
Allie Schulz is a songwriter whose path has followed a long arc from Nashville to Half Moon Bay. Raised in the heart of Music City, her earliest instincts were shaped by the craft of songwriting long before she headed to New York to work in musical theater—including a stint on Broadway playing “Rizzo” in Grease.
Eventually, the pull of writing her own music led her to California. Over the years, she’s released three solo records, both under her maiden name and the moniker LAE. These days, her creative life is a collaborative one; she and her husband, Alex Pasternak, write and perform together as Florecer, a project that pairs Allie’s lyrics with Alex’s production.
Teaching is just as much a part of her practice as performing. For the last four summers, Allie has been the lead instructor for UCLA’s Summer Songwriting Intensive, and during the school year, she works with local students at El Granada and Farallone View Elementary, teaching music, acting and dance. For Allie, music is a constant thread—one she’s grateful to keep weaving while raising her two young daughters, Cecilia and Esme, on the coast.
She’s grateful to get to play at the Odd Fellow’s here in Half Moon Bay!
