O'CONNOR May 3, 2018 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm TBA This event will take place in front of the Riverside Public Library, located at 3581 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501. 7:00 pm: LITERATURE ON THE LAWN WITH REBECCA K. O'CONNOR May 3, 2018 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm On Thursday May 3, please join Inlandia as we welcome Rebecca K. O’Connor who will read from her most recent novel, We Were Wilder, a dystopian wilderness adventure. We Were Wilder takes place in a future where the western United States has been “re-wilded” by flourishing popu-lations of animals missing since the Pleistocene. In it, a plucky heroine crosses the cordoned off west seeking a vaccine to the virus that still ravages what’s left of humanity 200 years later. Rebecca will talk about the reasoning behind self-publishing this book despite being a tradition-ally published author. She will also address the process, challenges, and benefits of self-publishing. Additionally, she will also discuss falconry, nature, and the open spaces that inspire her writing. She will be accompanied by a special guest, her current avian falconry partner. Rebecca K. O’Connor is the author of the award-winning memoir Lift published by Red Hen Press. She has published essays and short stories in South Dakota Review, Iron Horse Literary Review, Los Angeles Times Magazine, West, divide, The Coachella Review, Phantom Seed, Prime Number Maga-zine and The Rumpus. Her work has been anthologized in New California Writing 2011, New Cali-fornia Writing 2012, No Place for a Puritan: The Literature of California Deserts and Animal Com-panions, Animal Doctors, Animal People. She has also written several reference books on the natu-ral world and several books on pets including The Perfectly Trained Parrot, a best-selling parrot training guide. Her latest novel, We Were Wilder, was self-published on Amazon in 2016. Rebecca is the Development Director for Rivers and Lands Conservancy where she gets to com-biner her passion for preserving open spaces with her love for connecting people with the wilder-ness. She has also been a falconer and professional animal trainer for 20 years. In all of her work she strives to illuminate or foil the human condition through the animals that surround us. Whether it is to give a science-based lecture, write a serious how-to book or crafting deeply per-sonal prose, the foundation for all is a love for animals. She hopes that her life’s work will help people understand the animals (including other humans) that surround them and embrace their relationships. This event is FREE and open to the public. The event will be followed by light refreshments. The Riverside Public Library is located at 3851 Mission Inn Avenue in the heart of downtown Riverside.	4 11:00 am: VOICES AGAINST VIOLENCE May 4, 2018 11:00 am – 2:00 pm Inlandia’s Voices Against Violence workshops begin!

On Sunday May 6 at 1 pm, please join Inlandia Institute as we screen the film, “When They All Still Lived”, the story of Chinese migration to California, and specifically Riverside, as told by George Wong. Following the screening will be a moderated discussion featuring Jerry Gordon, who was Director of Media Resources at UCR and participated in the production of the film, along with Eugene Moy of Riverside’s Save Our Chinatown Committee. “When they All Still Lived” is a film produced by the Media Resources Department at the University of California, Riverside in 1988. It is a dramatization of the Chinese migration to California and specifically Riverside from the middle of the 19th century into the 20th century. It is seen through the eyes of longtime Riverside resident George Wong based on an oral history of him made in 1968 by the Oral History Department at California State College at Fullerton. Wong, who first moved to Riverside in 1914 at age 14, did not personally witness most of the migration but he knew many of those who did and tells their story “when they all still lived”. Jerry hails from Rochester, New York and completed all his education in New York State including a Bachelor of Science from Ithaca College, a Master of Science from Syracuse University, and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Buffalo. Before becoming an educator he worked in broadcast tele-vision and for more than three decades he was a teacher and administrator in the public schools of New York State, the State University of New York, and the University of California, Riverside. Jerry and his family moved to Riverside in 1982 from Alfred, New York where he was an Associate Professor of Communication Media to assume the position of Director of Media Resources at UC Riverside, and is now retired. Jerry has been a Mission Inn Foundation docent since 1998 and has taught various docent training classes for many years. He is a member of the Riverside Historical Society, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UCR Extension, and the Riverside Men’s Breakfast Forum. He resides in Riverside with his wife Susan. They have two grandchildren in Portland and one in Henderson, Nevada. The Save Our Chinatown Committee (SOCC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Riverside, California that works through education and advocacy to inspire the public's appreciation and steward-ship of Inland Southern California's diverse heritage. Our mission is to protect, conserve, and interpret Riverside’s Chinatown archaeological site, and to tell important stories about the experiences and con-tributions of Chinese Americans in Inland Southern California. This event is FREE and open to the public. The event will be followed by light refreshments. The Bar-bara and Art Culver Center of the Arts is located 3834 Main Street in the heart of downtown Riverside. The Inlandia Institute is a regionally-focused literary nonprofit and publishing house.

Two 30 minute performances are scheduled for 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm. Through an original musical story, students learn all about the guitar: its sound and its unexpected effects. The objectives are not only musical. While the students enjoy a musical story and the adventures of its protagonists, the story shows how friendship and a sense of teamwork can build knowledge and deepen relationships. Pedro López de la Osa is a Spanish musician who specializes in chamber music, pedagogy, teaching, and research. Throughout his career López de la Osa has been teaching students from elementary schools to Master Degree programs in Schools, Conservatories, Universities, among other institutions; and he has performed -as a narrator and guitarist- more than four hundred educational concerts.
