In conjunction with the Wege Gallery exhibition, "Through a Narrow Window," New York-based artist sTo Len will discuss his work and practice. sTo Len’s ethos as an artist embodies an in-the-field practice that deconstructs the job of an artist with a collaborative, holistic, and community-minded approach that blends civic stewardship with playful investigations into the lesser seen aspects of the human imprint. His practice takes on many different forms, from printmaking with water bodies to archival activations and site responsive interventions.
The virtual lecture will be on ZOOM. Please register to receive the link to join the event. https://forms.office.com/r/HirciBhJeb

Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just learning the difference between annuals and perennials, gardening comes with its fair share of questions. Why is my crabapple losing leaves? What’s eating my hostas? Is it too late to plant kale? These are the kinds of questions you can ask the gardening experts with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach during the Garden Q&A Live program!
Here’s how it works: Sign up in advance for the monthly program presented on Zoom. Join us on that day and ask your personalized gardening question—no topic too big or small. A panel of horticulture experts can offer tailored advice based on your situation. You can even share photos to further help the experts get to the bottom of your question.
Sign up each month, whether you have a question or not, and learn something new to implement in your own garden. If your plants are thriving or just surviving, the Garden Q&A Live program is here to help you grow your gardening confidence.

Fly Tie Friday

December 12, 2025
5:30 pm
Fly tying has been tying flies to catch fish for a long time. Now, some people tie them just as a way to relax, or as a form of art. We’re going to begin this program series by tying one of the simplest and most effective flies, the San Juan Worm. If you plan to fly fish, this is a great fly to have in your fly box. If you want to tie for relaxation or as an art form, this fly teaches some of the basic skills and techniques that you need to be able to tie many different flies.
During this class, we will discuss the history of the fly, tie a few, and discuss how to fish this fly and what species it is effective for. Cost is $15, registration is required, and seats are limited.

Why Volunteer With Us?
By joining our kitchen, you're not just preparing meals – you're strengthening our community, one plate at a time. Here's how your contribution makes a difference:
- You'll help create delicious, plant-based meals for all, regardless of their ability to pay.
- Your efforts support our mission to reduce food waste by working with local food systems.
- You'll be part of a welcoming space where community members from all walks of life come together.
We need your help! Our kitchen runs best with 6 volunteers per shift, but often we're operating with just our kitchen director and a few helpers.

What to Expect as a Volunteer
- Flexible Roles: Whether you prefer cooking, serving, or cleaning, we have a spot for you
- Inclusive Environment: All ability levels are welcome – no prior experience necessary.

- Learning Opportunity: Gain kitchen skills and connect with diverse community members.
Why Volunteer With Us?
By joining our kitchen, you're not just preparing meals – you're strengthening our community, one plate at a time. Here's how your contribution makes a difference:
- You'll help create delicious, plant-based meals for all, regardless of their ability to pay.
- Your efforts support our mission to reduce food waste by working with local food systems.
- You'll be part of a welcoming space where community members from all walks of life come together.
We need your help! Our kitchen runs best with 6 volunteers per shift, but often we're operating with just our kitchen director and a few helpers. Whether you can volunteer once a month or make it a weekly habit, your time is invaluable to us. Regular volunteers are especially appreciated as they help us maintain consistent operations.
