The movie, “The Divine Order” will be featured during September’s Dinner & Movie series on September 24 at 6 p.m. Deane Tucker, PhD., Chadron State College professor will facilitate the discussion. It’s Switzerland, 1971 and Nora is a young housewife and mother who lives with her husband, their two sons and her father-in-law in a village. In the Swiss countryside, little or nothing is felt of the huge social upheavals that the movement of May 1968 has caused. Nora’s life, too, has been unaffected; she is a retiring, quiet person, well liked by everyone – until she begins to campaign publicly and pugnaciously for women’s right to vote, an issue that will be put before the male voters on February 7th, 1971. A light meal will be served and library programs are free and open to the public.
The fall Krispy Kreme fundraiser as been canceled for Thursday, September 27. We apologize for any inconvenience.
