SUMMARY:2026 Book Club: "Finding My Way" by Malala Yousafzai
DESCRIPTION:2026 Meetinghouse Book Club\nSmall and Revolutionary: Stories about Community and Transformative Change\nRead along with us!\n  \nSaturday\, January 24\, 2026 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm\nJanuary’s book: Finding My Way by Malala Yousafzai\n  \nJoin us in Shield’s Hall for our monthly book club! These 60‑minute moderated discussions will happen monthly and discussion will center on the co‑leadership theme of the book\, in addition to other activities and refreshments. \nTickets available below: $15 per meeting or $50 for a 4-pack (save $10!) \n  \nAbout this book: \nAN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! | A USA TODAY BOOK OF 2025 \n“A remarkably intimate and insistently human chronicle of a moral authority’s coming of age.” —The New York Times \nThis is not the story you think you know. It’s the one I’ve been waiting to tell. \nThrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life\, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds\, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now\, for the first time ever\, Malala takes us beyond the headlines in Finding My Way—a vulnerable\, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity\, sharp humor\, and tenderness. \nFinding My Way is a story of friendship and first love\, of anxiety and self-discovery\, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it\, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid\, often messy moments like nearly failing exams\, getting ghosted\, and meeting the love of her life\, Malala reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human. \nIn this astonishing memoir\, Malala reintroduces herself to the world\, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative—while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. Finding My Way is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny—and a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.

SUMMARY:Stone Soup Open Mic Night at The Market
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative open mic! \nThe story of stone soup is about the beauty of collaboration… everyone’s individual ingredients could taste much better when combined and cooked together in one big soup. Open mics are amazing for every artist getting their sole moment of glory\, but they could become a special space of spontaneous\, shared art if we mesh our art into others. \nBasically\, instead of everyone quietly sitting and snapping and waiting their turns\, you get up and integrate your own words\, sounds\, movements\, art\, etc if you feel compelled and inspired to by the person currently performing. It is a chance within an open environment to improvise and jam with many people\, to freely create with strangers. \nThis special Stone Soup Open Mic The Market is Sunday\, December 14\, from 4:00-6:00 pm\, so mark your calendars and plan to join us!
