Kids’ activities too! 1-5pm (registration at 12:30) Sage Hall, 835 High Avenue, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (parking is free on Saturdays) For the last two years, residents of the Fox Valley have been welcomed to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh’s campus for a day of free classes. 2016’s Free School attracted approximately 100 participants, and 2017’s attracted 200. The students of SEAC (Student Environmental Action Coalition) are creating a third Free School for 2018: On Saturday, March 10th, from 1pm to 5pm, UWO’s Sage Hall will house free classes on topics related to sustainability, health, social justice, and community building. An “express yourself room” with craft supplies and multiple kids’ activities will be provided, as well as a “listening room” featuring piano music by Appleton based artist Jennifer Levenhagen. The Free School also includes an unscheduled classroom, in which volunteers can spontaneously offer classes on the day of the event. There is no charge for the classes, snacks, or supplies. The spirit of “freedom” also permeates the course offerings: instructors are students, professors, and community members who have donated their time and expertise free of charge. Classes range from “Greening Your Kitchen” to “Tae Kwon Do”; from “Introduction to Islam” to “Skin Healing Herbs and Lotions.” One class has participants rolling around campus in wheelchairs; another has them making crafts out of old t-shirts. The theme of sustainability — broadly construed to include environmental concerns, health, community building, and justice — governs the day. Dr. Laura Hartman, faculty advisor for SEAC, supports the high-impact event. “It’s clear that we need to build better, stronger, more sustainable communities,” she explains, “but the knowledge, skills, and community connections to get there seem hard to come by. The Free School says: collectively we have knowledge and skills, so let’s teach and learn from one another.” The Free School occurs on Saturday, March 10th, from 1pm to 5pm. Participants may come for the whole afternoon or just a part of it. It is held at Sage Hall (835 High Ave) on the UWO campus. Parking on campus is free on Saturdays, but participants are encouraged to use public transit, bike, or walk. Free snacks and kids workshops are provided as facilities permit. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Laura Hartman at hartmanl@uwosh.edu or 920-424-0768.

Our feature game will be Betrayal at House on the Hill, but we will also have copies of Forbidden Island, Forbidden Desert, Five Tribes, and Settlers of Catan available for participants to explore. What is a modular board game mechanism? As Board Game Geek describes it, “Game play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.” For a game description, instructions and a video tutorial for our feature game, Betrayal at House on the Hill, please visit our website at https://www.riponlibrary.org/ModularBoard. Did we miss any modular board game you enjoy? Bring your favorites to share! Adult Game Night meets the third Tuesday of every month at 6:00 P.M.
