The John Cooper School Fine Arts Council has announced that the 16^th Annual Signatures Author Series will be a virtual experience on December 4, featuring international bestselling author Jesmyn Ward.

“We feel that a completely virtual experience is the best approach for this year’s event, and we are very excited about the opportunities that going online will provide,” said Signatures Co-chair Lisa Hollingsworth. The 2020 virtual event also features a raffle drawing and new virtual sponsorship opportunities. A VIP Meet and Greet will be held for major sponsors and their guests prior to the keynote presentation at noon, and every guest will receive a signed book

“The Signatures series is always a highly anticipated event and now that we’ve gone virtual, guests can attend from their own home,” said Co-chair Malin Melin. “We are very pleased to be able to expand the capabilities for people to hear Ms. Ward, whose poetic style of writing illuminates tales of hope and struggle.”

Ward has received two National Book Awards for novels that are set on the Gulf Coast. Salvage the Bones is a personal story of how one family endured Hurricane Katrina and Sing, Unburied, Sing gives an intimate portrait of three generations of a family in an epic tale.

Ward received her MFA from The University of Michigan and is currently a professor of creative writing at Tulane University. Her most recent book, Navigate Your Stars, is an uplifting book based on the 2018 Commencement speech she gave at Tulane about the value of hard work, perseverance and the importance of respect for oneself and for others. Ward is also the editor of a critically acclaimed anthology, has authored a memoir and is currently working on two new novels  that are set in the south.

As is tradition, a portion of the proceeds from the 2020 event will go to a local charitable organization. “This is going to be a fascinating way to hold our annual literary event and we are very excited to offer an enhanced and unique experience this year,” said Cooper’s Director of Advancement Troye Skipworth.

Celebrating 31 years Running for a Cause, the YMCA Run Thru the Woods is an annual Thanksgiving tradition in South Montgomery County. Out of an abundance of caution, this year’s annual YMCA Run Thru the Woods has been transitioned into a virtual event for 2020.

Designed for a wide variety of participants, Run Thru the Woods categories include a 1 mile Children’s Race, for ages 12 and under; a 5 mile Race; a 3 Mile Race and the 3 Mile Walk. New this year includes a 10 Mile Race; Super Triple 18 Mile Challenge; and a Team Challenge which is designed for running/training groups, social running groups, corporate teams and family/friends teams. The team component gives runners a way to share the experience with their running friends. Due to self-isolation and social distancing, many runners are craving the connection and community. They miss their “Running Buddies.” Team members tally their race times together to qualify for the fastest team award.

The economic impact of COVID-19 has spiked the need for hunger relief into levels not seen before. Many families in our community are already struggling without food and there are a growing number of elderly, children, and adults who need help during this crisis.

Mobile Markets are temporary drive thru distribution centers where pre-packaged bags of groceries will be provided to Montgomery County residents in need, while supplies last. Residents can drive up to the Mobile Market, stay in their car, and MCFB’s partner agencies and trained volunteers will load the groceries safely into their car.

Dates, times, locations and partners involved at Mobile Markets scheduled. More dates coming soon!

December Speaker: Jackie Battle

Jackie Battle is a graduate of the University of Houston and an 8 year NFL veteran playing with the Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers and the Tennessee Titans.  Although he was a talented player, he emphasizes that his talent isn’t what got him to the NFL. His path to the NFL was difficult and unconventional, but that journey taught him many life lessons. Jackie shares his experience of growing up as an at risk youth to encourage younger generations that through hard work and perseverance their dreams can become reality.
