Leave the Pack Behind

Posted on: July 25, 2018

Leave The Pack Behind advocates for smoke-free campuses and communities, where all smokers are politely and effectively supported to quit, and non-smokers are respectfully discouraged from taking up any tobacco/nicotine product. Leave the Pack Behind goals are to:

  • Support more young adult smokers to quit smoking
  • Increase access to and use of evidence-based strategies
  • Enhance reach to priority populations
  • Discourage initiation
  • Discourage escalation and multi-product use
  • Improve campus policies related to tobacco use

Frank Lloyd Wright Revisited Ken and Linda Bauman – Grimsby Historical Society

During a period of 15 years, Ken and Linda Bauman travelled across the United States to tour 40 houses, commercial and institutional structures designed by the American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright’s productive period spanned more than 70 years. His visionary creations were strongly influenced by the natural world and he emphasized craftsmanship while embracing technology’s ability to make design accessible to all.

Ken and Linda revisit some of Wright’s iconic buildings and we learn how many of his creative ideas are reflected in the interior design of our homes and in the architecture of new development in our community.

This event is hosted by the Grimsby Historical Society.
