**Aquest 08 de març, a Cultura i Oci volem celebrar el Dia de la Dona d’una manera complerta:** recordant d’on venim i celebrant qui som. Us hem preparat una jornada en dues parts que promet *emocions, aprenentatges i molta diversió*. Iniciarem la tarda amb la ruta **“Dones que han fet història a Santa Coloma”**. Passejarem pels carrers de la nostra ciutat per rescatar de l’oblit les veus d’aquelles dones valentes *—veïnes, lluitadores i pioneres—* que van transformar el teixit social, polític i cultural de Santa Coloma de Gramenet. **No serà només una ruta guiada**; serà un exercici de memòria històrica per posar en valor el paper femení en els moviments veïnals i la cultura local. Recuperarem històries que mereixen ser escoltades per entendre la Santa Coloma que tenim avui. **Una experiència per aprendre, compartir i, sobretot, per reivindicar juntes la nostra herència.** **I com que la lluita no està renyida amb la celebració**, en acabar la ruta ens traslladarem a un **lloc emblemàtic de la nit colomenca**: el Bar Musical Yesterday (C/Major 24 Santa Coloma de Gramanet). Allà ens espera un **“Tardeo” femení espectacular**. Canviarem la reflexió per la festa, les rialles i el bon ambient. Serà el moment de celebrar-nos, de gaudir d’una bona copa i, per a les més atrevides, de **pujar a l’escenari del Karaoke per cantar a ple pulmó els nostres himnes preferits.** Música, sororitat i un final de festa ple de força per tancar un 8M inoblidable. **Vine a conèixer, a escoltar, a sentir i, finalment… a celebrar!** *A on?

That’ll give us plenty of time to fill out our Oscar Ballots, pick up some free popcorn, candy, and something to drink, mix, mingle, take some photos, pick up your Newfangled Kitchen Meal Deal, grab a seat in our CMG Reserved Section, then settle in to enjoy the Academy Awards on the Big Screen! PICTURES: We’ll take pics throughout the evening and the Drexel Paparazzi will be on hand as well. We’ll also take a big group photo around 6:40 near the entrance before the show begins.

RESERVED SEATING: As you enter the theater, the roped off section to the right marked “Reserved” is reserved for you, your guest(s) and the Columbus Movie Group! VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this year’s Oscar Party. However, we DO have a solution! I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. I’ll provide details off-line. And while there won’t be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution. And, all other plans are usiness-as-usual: popcorn, sodas, candy, on-site paparazzi, decorations, bar drinks (including your first drink on the house), the Drexel’s Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch ‘em with!

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
