Improvisation!
Jan. 09, 2025 12:15 p.m.
This program will be a 40 minute interactive improv session! Whether for fun and laughter or for tuning up your creativity, Improv is a wonderful tool for life. Sandra and Kimberly will lead a few exercises and games to sharpen our spontaneity in the classroom, the business meeting, on stage, or in our “unscripted” lives. Prepare to surprise yourself and laugh a lot! Sandra Rockman, a longtime local theatre director and teacher, had been offering “Instant Improv” locally for ten years before Covid put a halt to classes. She has brought Improv to settings as diverse as Nevada County Environmental Health Department and InConcert Sierra’s Board of Trustees, as well as the Nevada County Community Leadership Institute’s Arts Day, among others. Kimberly Ewing, also a local theatre & film actor, has been playing & performing Improv with Sacramento’s Comedy Spot as well as with a local, all-female Improv group called MenoPosse. She has been co-leading Improv sessions for educators, and local businesses, and hosting a monthly Improv Playdate locally. Photo credits: Drew Horwath |

Music in the Mountains Summer Programs
Apr. 03, 2025 5:30 p.m.
Joining us for our Thursday meeting on April 3rd will be Kevin Ross of Music in the Mountains (MIM). From teaching music to more than 700 elementary school kids each week, to presenting world-class, professional musicians on Nevada County stages, MIM has been a Nevada County staple for more than 40 years. Kevin will be talking with us about their education programs, opportunities to volunteer, and of course–their upcoming concerts. About Kevin RossKevin Ross moved to Grass Valley in 1976 with his immediate and extended family, where they owned and operated a tire store in the Brunswick basin for fourteen years. His grandmother inspired him through encouragement and exposure to fall in love with singing choral music. This was further supported by all the public schools he attended here in Grass Valley: from Mrs. Rocker’s second grade class where Kevin sang everyday with his classmates while she would play the piano, to singing in the Nevada Union chamber choir with the legendary Don Bagget. While earning a degree in Secondary Education from Reno Nevada, he found small choirs to join to fulfill his passion to sing. Soon afterwards, he moved back to Grass Valley with his three-year-old, knowing it was a wonderful community for his child to grow up in. Kevin auditioned and joined the Music in the Mountains chorus and he is an active member in the community, volunteering for other nonprofits, and singing and acting in local theater companies. |

State of the City
Apr. 24, 2025 12:15 p.m.
Nevada City's Mayor Gary Petersen is going to give a State of the City talk! Should be fun and enlightening! A big shout out and thank you to our Mayor for serving as a Judge at our Inaugural 2024 Paws and A Cause! Gary was elected to City Council of Nevada City in November 2020 and currently serves as Mayor. Gary Petersen first came to Nevada City in the 1970s. For seven years he worked with the U.S .Forest Service as a “hot shot” firefighter, a tank truck operator, and a Heli attack squad leader in California and seven other states. This led to a 30-year career in airport management during which he served as the Nevada County Airport manager. He helped to reorganize Nevada County government, and worked on the United Way Community Report Card. In 2005, Gary relocated after being offered a position as the Salinas Municipal Airport director, and eventually became the city of Salinas Public Works director. During this time, he chaired the Governing for Racial Equity program, produced one of the first Groundwater Sustainability Plans in California, completed innovative solar energy and water programs and dealt extensively with neighborhood viability, homelessness and community relations. Gary and his wife Christine Bottaro (RN, retired) live in their home on Park Avenue, near Pioneer Park. They restored their Victorian home after acquiring it 25 years ago.

ADDRESS: 9 Kidder Ct., Nevada City, Ca 95959 Plan to arrive at 5:15 for our tour at 5:30pm and ask all the questions we want. Our guide will be Erin Theim, the owner. We are to park at the Railroad Museum lot which is adjacent to the property. This special Inn Town Campground is on a historic 15-acre site two miles from downtown. Dan and Erin Thiem have brought Nevada City a vibrant camping experience with tents, glamping, and RV sites. The inn town campground is on a historic 15-acre site, just two miles from downtown Nevada City. We love that we get to be in the heart of gold country camping, so pack your tent, trailer, or glamping gear and join us! The Inn Town Campground was born from our love of camping, community and the outdoors. Many of the park’s details were inspired by our personal experiences, like our open-air showers that sit beneath our towering pine trees, or our uniquely decorated Glamping tents that offer a fun break from the homogeny of daily life. We have built indoor and outdoor spaces for people to gather to meet friends and to experience the community of stewardship that comes with enjoying our property’s intrinsic beauty. Inn Town Campground is a reflection of our love of outdoor spaces and fun, natural areas for everyone to explore. Imagine roaming free beneath the trees, riding your bike with friends or just sitting by a fire pit watching flames dance over a glass of wine. Camp, be outside, find new friends. |
