Fort Bragg Inglenook Community Center

The Fort Bragg Inglenook Community Center has chosen John Holberg as the very deserving recipient of our $1,500 annual scholarship which is awarded each year to a graduate of the Fort Bragg Unified School District who is attending Mendocino College. We are so pleased to help him with his academic goals. The money for the scholarship comes from proceeds of the rummage sale that is held during our monthly First Sunday Community Breakfast. So, this scholarship is also from the g...reater Fort Bragg community who show up each month and support us. John is 33 years old and was born and raised here on the Mendocino coast. His passion is history and his interests include spending time in the outdoors with his 8 year old son Waylon. He graduated from Fort Bragg High School in 2005 and began attending Mendocino College in 2016. He will be transferring to San Francisco State this fall with the ultimate goal of becoming a teacher so that he might inspire a passion for learning in our local youth. Congratulations John Holberg!

RECLAIMING THE WONDER OF AUDUBON’S AMERICA Saturday, Nov. 9th, 2019 at the Fort Bragg-Inglenook Community Center 26500 N. HWY 1, 6-miles north of Fort Bragg... There is no entrance fee but please bring a potluck dish to share at the Potluck Dinner from 5:00 PM to 6:00PM David’s Presentation Will Be 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM There will be a Potluck Social at the Fort Bragg - Inglenook Community Center on Saturday, November 9, 2019. The potluck dinner will be served from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM and it will be followed by the presentation entitled, "Reclaiming the Wonder of Audubon's America", from 6:00 to 7:30 in the evening. David Giesen, a historian, school teacher, and sometimes-Coast-denizen, will be the guest speaker during the presentation, which will be a "double feature". The first part will be David presenting his celebratory narrative biography of John James Audubon, one of America's outstanding artist-woodsmen. His narrative will include 40 slides of Audubon's original paintings and a full-size facsimile of one of Audubon's huge, double-elephant volumes. This presentation is a testimonial to John Audubon who dedicated his life to inhabiting the world as though it were one's true inheritance. Mr. Giesen believes that Audubon, more than any other, lived the American dream. After the Audubon narrative, David will then present a narrative about the 19th century American life of Henry George. George stands as America's most courageous social thinker. Taken together, the two narratives about John Audubon and Henry George are intended to encourage contemplation of what exactly constitutes the spiritual pith of the American dream.
