June 15: Marta Varee Pearson will present “Father’s Day & Other Celebrations – The Sweet & The Bitter”

Every coin has two sides, a 24 hour period has night and day and food has both bitter and sweet flavors. Today we will explore the little know bitter side of this day of celebration and why there are some who normally would choose to not be present. If Father’s Day or Mother’s Day is a day when you usually feel you have to avoid the celebration come and find comfort. You are not alone.
