So often after we've lost someone we love, we also lose the opportunity to talk about them. Friends and family gradually stop bringing them up to avoid feelings of sadness over their passing. Before we know it, we haven't told those familiar, favorite stories, or talked about our loved one in a long time. Join us for a heartfelt evening to remember and honor those we have lost. Together, we’ll share stories, pictures, and keepsakes that celebrate their lives and the love that remains. The evening will be guided by grief counselors from The Elizabeth Hospice, and accompanied by the soothing resonance of singing bowls, led by Sherie Honarvar of Azadi Healing. This event is free and open to the public. Reservations are required at community@ehospice.org The Elizabeth Hospice on Facebook / Instagram

It’s not quite an open mic, jam session, drum circle, or art night—but it has elements of all of these. All are welcome to participate as much or as little as they choose.

Need ideas for your holiday baking this year? Get inspired at this fun baking demo with Chef Tommy of Big City Chefs! Space is limited, registration is recommended. Walk-ins will be accommodated as space permits. About Chef Tommy: Food has been my passion for as long as I can remember! I spent a lot of my childhood helping my mom in the kitchen experimenting with flavors and learning the magic of cooking. By age sixteen, I was working as a busser soaking in the energy of a busy restaurant. Instead of following my culinary dreams, I took a detour and instead went to college to study accounting. I received a Bachelor of Science and cruised through a successful five-year sales career. Despite my successes, I always felt I was meant for something more and decided to pursue my true calling in the restaurant world. I kicked things off as a server in Charleston, SC before moving to San Diego, where I worked my way up to General Manager at Knotty Barrel. Along the way, I enrolled at the Institute of Culinary Education and gained experience working at Michelin-starred Gramercy Tavern in NYC, Trust and as Sous Chef at Sandpiper Wood Fired Grill & Oysters. By December 2024, I was ready to break free from the traditional kitchen grind and launched my own personal chef and catering company. Now, I’m thrilled to be working with Big City Chefs offering catering, cooking classes and more! Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable meal or a hands-on cooking experience, I’m here to take you on a culinary adventure! Coronado Public Library on Facebook / Instagram
