 Last chance to RSVP!
Join us Friday, March 1, for our spring fundraiser: "The Hawk's Nest: Where Curiosity is Hatched!" You can preview the silent auction items here.
This year, we are trying something new that we think will be fun and worthwhile. In lieu of a live auction, we will be using a "Text to Give" platform, which will go live online for approximately 24 hours. The donation amounts will not be made public, only the donors' names. Any amount, large or small, is appreciated and will help us reach our goal. The site will launch live with notice on Thursday, February 28, for those unable to attend. This technology allows a thermometer-style visual to rise as funds come in.
It's not too late to rsvp. Click here to purchase your tickets online:

Folksinger Edie Carey '88 returns to DCD
 Colorado-based Boston native and DCD alumna Edie Carey '88, a singer-songwriter known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, and her warm, engaging presence, will be working with students and performing at DCD from 2:20 to 2:50 p.m. in the Lowell Center on Monday, February 25. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey's wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend.

 DCD Book Club
Please join us for the next meeting of the DCD Book Club on Monday, February 25, at 6:30 p.m., at the Herrick House, 269 Highland Street (next to the upper parking lot). We'll be discussing the book Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Wine and refreshments will be served.
Award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie tells a powerful, tender story of race and identity in this bestselling novel, which was one of Barack Obama's summer reading picks. "From one of the world's great contemporary writers comes the story of two Nigerians making their way in the U.S. and the UK, raising universal questions of race and belonging, the overseas experience for the African diaspora, and the search for identity and a home." -Barack Obama
The next Book Club meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m., book to be determined. |

 Shark Lady
Eugenie Clark was born in 1922, a time when girls were supposed to play traditional roles and only work in jobs that were for women. She was far from traditional, and Eugenie had a specific dream. As a child, Eugenie loved to visit the New York Aquarium. She spent countless hours there while her widowed mother worked. The fish mesmerized Eugenie, and she longed to be in their world. When she shared her passion for becoming a fish scientist, her mother suggested that if she took up typing, Eugenie might become the secretary to the marine explorer, William Beebe. Being a secretary wasn't the path that Eugenie planned to take. ...
