SUMMARY:Atlanta Swiss Social
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 Atlanta Swiss Social will encompass 3 different events that showcase the best of Switzerland. Each event can be signed up for individually and they hope to see you for one or all three! \nProgramming\nThursday\, July 7 | Swiss Winemaker Tasting with Chandra Kurt\n6:00 PM at Perrine’s Le Pop Up \n\n16 seats available at $60/ticket – Purchase your ticket for the Swiss Winemaker Tasting with Chandra Kurt here.\nTaste through 5 Swiss wines with a presentation led by Chandra Kurt (author\, scientist\, winemaker + critic)\nA selection of cheeses and accompaniments available for pairing\nFree to join via zoom link as well (RSVP via email here)\n\nSpeaker Bio: \nChandra Kurt\nAuthor\, scientist\, winemaker and critic \nBased in Zürich\, Chandra Kurt is Switzerland’s foremost wine writer\, educator\, and critic. She has authored more than 20 books on wine\, including Chasselas – from Féchy to Dézaley – A journey to discover the treasures of the Vaud vineyards and the annual guide Weinseller\, along with her wine magazine Weinseller Journal. She studied at the Universities of Zürich and Lausanne and the Institute of Masters of Wine in London. Putting her experience to practice and following her passion for Switzerland’s indigenous varieties\, she has launched her own line of wines from vineyards in Geneva\, Vaud\, and the Valais. Rather than a purely commercial exercise\, her wines are an extension of her desire to understand the interaction of terroir and variety and to make wines that are not only a pleasure to drink but reveal something unique and special about the wine styles of her home. \nHer collection of wines includes a fresh and vibrantly youthful Chasselas from Geneva aptly named Glou Glou Chasselas\, a range of Chasselas from the distinct terroirs of the Vaud\, and a selection of indigenous varieties and wine styles from the Valais. She assembles each project first by understanding the vineyards\, then guiding the winemaking to be as minimalist as possible. Thus\, what is in the bottle is a pure reflection place and variety. While this may seem overly academic\, it is a great way to begin to understand that the complexity of Swiss wines is truly worth exploring. \n  \nSaturday\, July 9 | Swiss 5k and Fun Run with On Running\n8:00 AM at Fleet Feet-Decatur\n\nFree Event – Break a sweat and demo the best Swiss running shoes in the business – Google Forms RSVP here\nOn Running will be on site with shoes\, gear and local rep Natalie Richardson\nPost run Swiss Slushies and snacks will be served\n\nSunday\, July 10 | Swiss Wine Soirée\n3 PM – 7 PM at Bold Monk Brewing Co.\n\n$40 ticket includes your first glass of Swiss wine\, Swiss inspired small bites\, live Jazz and more – purchase tickets here\nConsul General of Switzerland in Atlanta Peter Zimmerli will give opening remarks\n10 Swiss wines available to try by the glass and by the bottle\nPartners include – Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta\, Alliance Francaise of Atlanta\, Geothe-Zentrum Atlanta\, Swiss American Society of Atlanta\, On Running\, Perrine’s Wine Shop\, Fleet Feet Decatur and Avant Partir\n\nSpeaker bio: \nPeter Zimmerli\nConsul General\nConsulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta \nBorn in 1957 in Switzerland\, Peter Zimmerli grew up in the canton of Aargau.

SUMMARY:Pinetree Plaza Mural Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join Halpern Enterprises\, Inc. for a Community Mural Celebration Event at Pinetree Plaza on July 9 from 10:30am – 12:00 p.m. \nBuford Highway has a new landmark\, a vibrant and colorful mural reflecting the diverse community of Doraville. The mural\, painted by Atlanta artist Leah Abucayan\, is a part of a larger partnership between businesses\, like Halpern Enterprises\, Inc. and the City of Doraville to bring new and exciting public art to Buford Highway. \nEvent highlights include: \n\nRibbon Cutting from Mayor\nAuthentic food flavors from Buford Highway\nArt supplies for families from Doraville Art Association (Dart)\nScavenger hunt\nCOVID vaccination trailer from Dekalb Health\nAnd much more\n\nMatthew Oppenheimer\, Director of Acquisitions at Halpern Enterprises said\, “After seeing the impact murals have had in other communities\, we jumped at the chance to bring a mural to Pinetree Plaza when we learned about Doraville’s new public art ordinance. We saw the mural as an opportunity to celebrate the cultural diversity along Buford Highway through the lens of the different cuisines represented along the corridor\,” Oppenheimer went on to say\, “It has already been so gratifying to see the way people are embracing the mural\, and to see the meaning people are finding in the images. Whether it be people identifying their favorite foods along Buford Highway\, to others reflecting on the role these dishes and this corridor played in their family’s journey as immigrants to this country\, this mural represents so much of what makes this community a special place.” \nHalpern Enterprises\, Inc. believes in the power of arts and culture to inspire creativity and spark collaboration. Without the integral partnerships of The City of Doraville\, Living Walls\, and We Love Buford Highway the beautifully designed mural\, and the enormous community engagement\, would not have been possible. Public art has the power to reshape the way people experience spaces\, and Halpern has seen this firsthand with the Pinetree Plaza mural. \nWith the creative talent of students and alumni at Cross Keys High School\, Halpern Enterprises will be participating in the City of Doraville BuHi Walk crosswalk project\, spanning 2.5 miles throughout the corridor\, by designing colorful walkway art carrying pedestrians from the sidewalks in front of Pinetree Plaza to the mural. This partnership would not have been possible without the dedication of the following Cross Keys staff: Denise Quintana Equity & Student Empowerment Director; Federica Teodori Art Teacher\, and Catalina Valdez Cross Keys Alumni. \n

SUMMARY:Efrén Olivares in conversation with Laura Rivera - My Boy Will Die of Sorrow
DESCRIPTION:The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and A Cappella Books welcome author and Deputy Legal Director of the Immigrant Justice Project at Southern Poverty Law Center Efrén C. Olivares to The Carter Center for a discussion on his new book\, “My Boy Will Die of Sorrow: A Memoir of Immigration From the Front Lines” on Wednesday July 27\, 2022\, at 7 PM. The author will appear in conversation with Laura Rivera\, director of SPLC’s Southeast Immigrant Freedom Initiative (SIFI). \nThis deeply personal perspective from a human rights lawyer—whose work on the front lines of the fight against family separations in South Texas intertwines with his own story of immigrating to the United States at thirteen—reframes the United States’ history as a nation of immigrants but also a nation against immigrants. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the venue. Masks are optional. \n  \nAbout the Author\nEfrén C. Olivares is the Deputy Legal Director of the Immigrant Justice Project at Southern Poverty Law Center. He was the lead lawyer in a successful landmark petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on behalf of families separated under the Zero Tolerance policy. He previously directed the Racial and Economic Justice Program at the Texas Civil Rights Project. His writings on immigration policy have also been published by the New York Times\, USA Today\, and Newsweek\, and he has testified before Congress and at briefings on Capitol Hill about immigration and border policies. Part of his work representing separated families was featured in the CBS News documentary “The Faces of Family Separation\,” released in October 2019. He has also been interviewed as an expert attorney on immigrants’ rights issues on numerous TV and radio shows\, and was featured in John Legend’s “Can’t Just Preach” series. \nOlivares was the first member of his family to attend college. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Yale Law School. \n  \nAbout the Conversation Partner\nFor the past decade\, Laura Rivera has worked in partnership with immigrant and BIPOC communities in the South to advance and defend their legal and human rights. She has contributed to the movement to end the detention of immigrants by litigating class action cases against government agencies and directing a program that provides direct representation to detained immigrants in removal proceedings\, the Southeast Immigrant Freedom Initiative of the Southern Poverty Law Center. She has also represented farmworkers in wage theft and trafficking cases as part of the Farmworker Division of the Georgia Legal Services Program.  Laura is committed to practicing community lawyering\, centering directly impacted people in her work\, and building coalitions. Previously\, Laura worked as a journalist in New York and Puerto Rico. Laura is a proud native of Puerto Rico and is fluent in Spanish. She lives in Decatur with her wife and dogs and enjoys spending time with her family\, hiking\, and cooking.
