On March 1, 2023 Kiwanis Club of Imperial Beach and South Bay will be launching our Literacy program in partnership with Readability, the first voice-recognition reading improvement technology. The event will take place at the Imperial Beach Library from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. At the event, parents of eligible K-6 students will be able to learn about the program, and sign their child(ren) up, and receive access to twelve free months to the Readability application. This Artificial-Intelligence (AI) based application is designed to develop the child's critical thinking skills, foster love of reading, boost the child's confidence, build a stronger overall academic performance foundation, and create a strong foundation for success. We believe our project will also incite a culture of visiting libraries; and checking out and reading books. In conjunction with the access to the Readability application our Club will have quarterly in-person literacy events to ensure ongoing support and commitment to the children of our community.

The transcendent new album from Ani Di Franco, Revolutionary Love (out January 29, 2021), marks the latest proof of one of her most powerful gifts as an artist: a rare ability to give voice to our deepest frustrations and tensions, on both a personal and political level. “My songs have always reflected an acute connection between my personal life and the life of my society,” says the trailblazing musician and activist. “As I started to come out of years of dealing with marriage problems, I saw my entire country in the same situation; the complete breakdown of communication and loss of empathy and connection. But after what seems like unforgivable damage, then where do you go? You can’t kick each other off the planet, you can’t change the past, so what then?” Come see them perform at Belly Up Tavern on June 21, 2022. The doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. Ticket Price: $42 advanced / $45 day of show / $74 reserved loft seating (available over the phone or in person at out box office) Genre: singer songwriter
