Please join us for a special evening presenting local author Jennifer Gasner and her featured book, "My Unexpected Life: Finding Balance Beyond My Diagnosis", an award-winning, coming-of-age story about the author’s diagnosis with Friedreich’s ataxia and meeting the challenges it brought her with humor and determination. In this captivating memoir, Jennifer shares how her assumptions about disability and her outlook on life changed. At seventeen, Jennifer Gasner was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia, a rare, progressive, neuromuscular disease. Her advocacy on behalf of people with disabilities gave her the courage to move to San Diego where she's worked for various non-profits and became involved in the disability community. As ambassador for the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance, Jennifer participated in Rare Across America, meeting with legislators to discuss current legislation affecting more than 25 million Americans living with one or more rare diseases.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a law last year requiring public schools to provide period products "to all menstruating students" in grades 4-12. Some Republicans are now criticizing him for it.

The court is determining if the investigative file and other records from the 2023 shooting should be released under Tennessee's public records law. Leaks of some documents have complicated the case.
