SUMMARY:MN Author Event: Ann Schreiber
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an MN Author Event with Ann Schreiber!! \nAbout the Author:\nAnn Schreiber is an accomplished freelance copywriter\, blogger\, and owner of Copywriting For You. She has been in the marketing and sales business for over 25 years and is passionate about business-focused writing. \nShe released her first book\, a memoir and self-reflection manual\, Perseverance. Reinvention\, in December 2024. Her second book\, The Top 10 Mistakes I Made My First Year as a Copywriter\, was released in March 2025 and shares lessons from her first year as a copywriter and content writer. Ann’s third book\, and first novel\, Emily’s Next Chapter\, was released on May 20\, 2025\, launching the Starting Over Trilogy. The second book in the trilogy\, Jessica’s New Beginning\, was released in March 2026\, followed by Liz’s Forever After in June 2026. In June 2026\, Ann also released her standalone spicy romance novella\, The House Always Wins. A shorter version of that story was also featured in the 2026 anthology Stay or Go in Deadwood\, which was released ahead of the Wild Deadwood Reads 2026 event in Deadwood\, South Dakota. \nLike many writers\, Ann began her writing career very young. During recess in elementary school\, she would pen short stories in her notebook. When her family invested in their first personal computer in the mid-1980s\, she taught herself to type and spent her free time writing fiction stories. Later\, she held various positions with the Rosemount High School newspaper and served as editor-in-chief during her senior year. She then became the co-editor-in-chief of the student paper at Inver Hills Community College. \nAnn received her bachelor’s degree in English communications from the University of Minnesota and her master’s degree in business communication from the University of St. Thomas. She has two adult children and remarried in February 2023. She is now blessed with a young stepdaughter as well. \nWhen Ann isn’t busy typing away on her laptop for her clients or for fun\, she enjoys reading. Her favorite authors include Colleen Hoover\, Jodi Picoult\, and Kristin Hannah. Ann also enjoys spending time outdoors\, working out on the Peloton\, and taking her son’s basset hound for daily walks.

SUMMARY:Touched Out
DESCRIPTION:When care\, closeness\, and being needed start to feel like too much. \nSometimes the people we love aren’t the problem — our capacity is simply spent. This workshop explores what happens when caregiving\, touch\, noise\, requests\, and constant access to us begin to feel overwhelming\, and how we can recognize what our bodies are asking for before we hit the point of wanting everyone to leave us alone.

SUMMARY:ArcoStrum
DESCRIPTION:Violin\, Classical Guitar\, Electric Guitar\, Erhu (Chinese Two-String Fiddle)\, Flute Dizi & Piccolo Dizi (Chinese Bamboo Flutes) \nTY and Strauss met at The Juilliard School and soon discovered their chemistry not only as friends but in music-making.

A membership costs $60 for individuals or $130 for families. A membership includes 6 local concerts plus free admittance to Wadena\, Fergus Falls\, Sauk Centre and Ortonville/Milbank concert association concerts.
