Placeholder Image
MONROE - The first in a set of conversations being billed as the Sesquicentennial Evenings will occur at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, in the Gunderson Stiles Concert Hall at the Monroe Arts Center, 1315 11th Street in Monroe.

The title of this Sesquicentennial Evening is "Residents Remember Monroe." The participants for this evening include Martha Bernet, Dave Deininger, Katheryn Etter, Lois Kaster, and Nate Roth. The conversation will be moderated by Monroe resident, Ron Spielman.

This series is intended to explore the questions: What does it mean to live in Monroe? How is Monroe similar to other communities? And how is it different?

A reception in the Frehner Gallery downstairs will follow the conversation. This event is free and open to the public. The first 100 members of the audience will receive the Monroe Sesquicentennial publication titled "Monroe: A Changing City Rooted In Tradition," authored by Tom Howe and Al Stauffacher. More information is available by calling the Monroe Arts Center at 325-5700. The second Sesquicentennial Evening will occur on Nov. 6 and the third on Nov. 20.
