An Entire Wing of the Smithsonian Full of Your Perfect Portraits of Donald Trump!

Follow the link to read more about it. Over 1,000 amateur and professional artists sent their Donald Trump Portrait submissions to Michael Moore. Moore writes “Perhaps someone reading this has an art gallery and would offer their space for a special “Michael Moore Presents: PORTRAITS OF POTUS—America’s Art Attack for Democracy.”

Waterford’s Banned Book Book Club

First Meeting Sunday March 2nd, 3:30 at the Davies Memorial Library
Meets every two months

Do you have any idea how many books have been banned or challenged in the United States of America? The answer: Countless. A quick Google search will enlighten and disappoint you; give it a try.

All are invited to participate in Waterford’s Banned Book Book Club (you don’t have to live in Waterford). We will meet once, every 2 months, to discuss our past read and to pick our next book. Most books will be available at your public library-YAY for public libraries!

Our first book is The Handmaid’s Tale. I read this when it was first released and look forward to revisiting it. Context and timing will certainly play into my 2025 perception. I ​a​m curious to hear how ​others feel about it. Hope to hear back from you. – Robin Migdelany
