Join Sharon Sharry Jones Library Director and Gabrielle Gould Executive Director of the Amherst Improvement District as we discuss the long and winding road of the capital campaign to improve the building, systems, interior use of space, community involvement and education around the process of collaborating around a town library. They hope this is the year that the final chapter closes on the process and the book of implementation can begin in 2024. Lord knows these two are ready to go.

Join us as we feature Founder and Head of Happiness Pam Victor. HVC has been a mainstay in Hadley since 2014 and teaching us to be present in the moment all the while. Pam and Scott Braiden have teamed up for yet another twist in their offerings. A campaign to raise funds for the space next door so that HVC can be more and do more for others. Listen as we learn about Pam’s why and how you can join in the laughter and support your movement of emotion from the internal to the external environment. As Pam says, it’s cheaper than therapy.

JUSTIN BROOKS, HERO EXTRAORDINARE IN A BROKEN JUSTICE SYSTEM
Justin Brooks will tell you that as the Founder of the California Innocence Project, he was just following his passion as a criminal justice attorney to exonerate those who were falsely accused and spending decades in prison. He may only have been in his twenties when he launched the California Innocence Project, but as of 2023, Justin has received exoneration for 40 such individuals and travels the world, helping launch Innocence Projects in other countries. It was also Justin who took a chance with Brian Banks and was instrumental in having Brian exonerated! If you think that heroes have gone the way of the dinosaur, you haven’t met Justin Brooks!
