When I was seven years old I went to a baseball game with my family.  I was living in Fremont, Ca and this was not an uncommon occurrence.  I ran to the front of the stands as batting practice was ending with my baseball cards in hand.  I was in luck.  This day, Mark McGwire was signing autographs.  I was small and cute, so I was able to wriggle my way to the front of the crowd.  "Mr. McGwire!  Mr. McGwire!"  I yelled in opposition to all those around me who were yelling out "Mark!".  He smiled and pointed at me.

Love it or Hate it?

Submitted by Jennifer Finch on Sat, 11/14/2009 - 5:32pm

Every time my teens come into a program one topic inevitably comes up: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  The words hate and love come up equally in the conversation as different teens "express" there opinions of the series.  This is happening only more frequently since the second movie is about to come out and the hype is reaching an all time high...again.  So the figh-er, "discussion" continues.  Do you love it or hate it?

Hey! Just wanted to remind everyone about our teen Anime Club that meets once a month.  This month we're meeting on November 20th at 4pm. All teens are welcome and we'll have free drinks and snacks as we watch the continuing saga of Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev, Amelia Wil Tesla Seyrunn, and Zelgadis Greywords on their quest to seek answers from the Claire Bible.  Of course all of this is accomplished with quite a bit of hilarity and sarcasm.  Hope to see you there.

Bewitched by "The Crucible"
