According to a press release:
 
"True Colors," is a salon theatre show in which Jews of Color share true stories about their yearning for belonging and the rich and complicated question that is identity. While all people face challenges and struggles, Jews of Color have many touching and unique stories to tell about resilience, self-respect, and celebrating the many colors and voices in our community. The stories in True Colors, ostensibly about Jews who feel “different,” actually remind us how very much alike we are.

On Thursday, Sept. 19, there will be a decluttering workshop at the Dalton Free Public Library. During the workshop, former teacher Jane Kavanau will demonstrate seven techniques to tackle clutter and stay organized.
 
"As a former real estate agent, she has seen the pitfalls of having a disorganized home and mind," the flyer says. 
 
"She believes that each person and situation is different, requiring that organizing strategies be flexible and simple — definitely not "one size fits all."
