Soup is coming. Thank heavens for that.
From our friends over at the Common Kitchen:
SOUPER BOWL WEEKEND
FOUR DAYS ONLY
10 INTERNATIONAL SOUPS
EAT SOUP, WIN PRIZES!
VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE!
THURSDAY FEBRUARY 6TH TO SUNDAY FEBRUARY 9TH
11:30AM - 8PM
Join us for Souper Bowl Weekend and try a cup of soup from our vendors. Each vendor will craft a soup and you get to decide which one is the best. You get one free raffle ticket for attending and you also get one raffle ticket for each soup you purchase.
I went last year and loved the experience. (Beautiful Soup) It seemed like it had been created just for me: I love soup, I’m a fan of the Common Kitchen, and I’m not even remotely jazzed about football. Although I should stress that there’s nothing anti-football about this event. I just happened to find it a refreshing change from all the ‘sportsing’ commentary and general hubbub at this time of year.
On another front, I am happy to see that the Howard County Maryland Black History page on Facebook is sharing information about local Black History Month events. If you are trying to find a lot of this information in one place, take a look there. I applaud Howard County Black History for getting the word out. I tried to make a comprehensive listing last year and it more or less broke my brain.
Earnest if inadequate attempt to organize information: February 2024
Finally, I’d like to recommend the most recent post in the Howard County Library “Chapter Chats” blog.
A Message to Our Community from Howard County Library Systems on Recent Executive Orders, Tonya Aikens, President & CEO HCLS
I’ve written quite a bit over the last several years about the growing trend to attack and curtail intellectual freedom. The most recent presidential election has amplified this to an alarming degree. But there is no such thing as a free and democratic society without intellectual freedom. If you want to see what it looks like to stand firm in defense of the core values of our democracy, here you are:
At HCLS, our vision, mission, and values remain unchanged. We continue to pursue a vision of an empowered community where all people reach their potential, and our mission remains as your place to learn, grow, and connect. Our organizational values of community, equity, intellectual freedom, learning, and teamwork serve as our foundation. We steadfastly affirm our unwavering commitment to supporting our community and maintaining the core values that guide our work.
Amen.
