Local Forum: 'The Pursuit of Happiness', February 24th at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our discussion group!

***Wednesday, February 24th, 7:30pm-9pm***

From the host, Amanda:

First off, I'd like to happily announce that I've FINALLY decided on a better group name than Culture Club. Honestly, since that popped into my head a year ago I didn't like it at all but I had no idea what else to call it. Eureka! I've got it! Henceforth I'll be referring to our discussion group as "Local Forum" since it just makes way more sense. Let me know if you like it or not.

February's topic is one I'm pretty excited about since it's more abstract than any previous topics we've had. We'll be discussing The Pursuit of Happiness. Questions like... how much happiness is a person entitled to? Why are some 'pursuits of happiness' more socially acceptable than others and is that fair (drugs vs. health)? Do you agree with the inclusion of this as an American right? How does this affect our culture? Can money buy happiness? What is the difference between contentment and happiness?

Pacifica Book Club: 'The Martian', February 23rd at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Tuesday, February 23rd, 7:30pm-9:00pm***

Come by for a chat about our February book, 'The Martian' by Andy Weir.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.

Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
