## Event Details
This is your chance to unlock the mind of a murderer. Whether you’re a true crime aficionado or simply curious about the human mind, The Psychology of a Murderer promises to be an unforgettable experience,” says Dr. Toles. “We’ll delve into the complex minds of different types of notorious murderers—like family annihilator Chris Watts, Aaron Hernandez, the NFL star turned killer, the infamous Ken and Barbie Killers (Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka), Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and of course, the chilling case of the Menendez Brothers.”
Toles will examine what lies behind the decision to commit murder. What are the escalation points? Do some people snap, while others make a clear and conscious decision? “This show is unique in that we’ll be exploring the root causes, uncovering the childhood experiences, the family dynamics, and the critical breaking points that can lead to these later tragedies,” says Dr. Toles. During intermission, audience members will have the chance to submit questions to Dr. Toles for a highly anticipated live Q&A session.
Dr. Toles first became fascinated with true crime when she witnessed the violent death of a young girl. She has since dedicated her life and career to discovering the psychological factors that drive individuals to commit heinous acts, exploring the complex interplay of trauma, environment, and mental health. She is committed to sharing her findings with her global audience and while touring the nation with The Psychology of a Murderer. Dr. Toles will also showcase her proprietary formula that offers audiences a deeper understanding of what turns ordinary people into murderers.If you would like to attend this event, please purchase your tickets from the website directly - Purchase Your Ticket Here We are in seats Orchestra - Row H - Seats 103-107.

- Culinary Night -So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe - Dinner and BingoSo Much To Give Inclusive Cafe, Cedars, PA
THIS DINNER BEGINS AT 5:30 PM SO WE ARE UPSTAIRS AND SETTLED WHEN BINGO BEGINS AT 6 PM.
The So Much to Give Inclusive Cafe officially opened in January of 2023. We had a soft opening in November of 2022 to train our employees as we served their family and friends. We expanded our hours and opened just after the first of the year! The support we have received from the community was heartwarming as we raised over $150,000 to install a commercial kitchen and another $65,000 for an elevator to the second floor dining space. The elevator is scheduled to be in place by early August.
Many people ask about our name, so let us explain. So Much to Give is a program created by local well-known teacher, musician and fitness instructor, Maureen Stanko which launched in early 2022 under the charity of Pillars of Light and Love. Pillars was founded in 2014 by Kathy Opperman in Trappe, PA.
Inspired by the need to create opportunities for her adult son with autism, Maureen set the mission of the So Much to Give program to help young adults with disabilities to gain personal fulfillment by utilizing their unique gifts and talents to make a positive difference in the community. Maureen believes those with disabilities have "so much to give" to the world!
Maureen's friend, Tyler Kammerle, had been developing an innovative restaurant concept to open a restaurant to employ people with amazing abilities by implementing accessible systems to help create a truly inclusive dining experience for all. Because of this, Kathy Opperman and the Board of Directors of Pillars of Light and Love decided to work in tandem with Tyler to open our So Much to Give Inclusive Café.
Tyler is now the heartbeat of the Cafe as the General Manager who continues to lead, create, adapt and develop the amazing model of the Inclusive Café! We are passionate about providing employment opportunities where everyone, including individuals with disabilities, are eager to work and loved by our customers!
