Mill Valley Community Center - 180 Camino Alto, Mill Valley
Science has proven that friendships are vital for well-being. So why is modern day friendship at risk of being partially if not completely neglected? Simple…in today’s hyper-productive and technologically driven times its hard to find the hours to build, nurture and maintain these relationships despite the fact that they could be the key to living a longer healthier life!
Enter Shasta Nelson, life coach, CEO and author of “Friendships Don’t Just Happen – The Guide to Creating a Meaningful Circle of Girlfriends” who will join Speak To Me on November 19th to share the science behind this 21st century phenomenon.

4. Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol
Thursday, November 21, 2013, 11:00 PM
397 Miller Avenue, Mill Valley
“Befits the season and makes a very old story new again” – The Seattle Times
“A thoroughly charming holiday treat” – Daily Herald
Perfect for the whole family, this festive ghost story opens as does Charles Dickens’s A Christmas
Carol, with Old Marley dead (“as a door-nail”). However, the focus never leaves his chained and burdened soul, remaining in the ethereal planes of the afterlife.
Given just 24 hours to redeem himself, Jacob Marley scrambles to reform his former partner in greed – that “squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner” Ebenezer Scrooge. This is going to be one long night… of spirited fun!
