SUMMARY:Keene - Italian Love Songs with Salvatore Basile
DESCRIPTION:Italian Love Songs with Salvatore Basile \n \nItalian-born singer Salvatore Basile came to America when he was three years old on the ship Andrea Doria\, which sank three years later.

On Saturday\, February 17th at 2pm Basile shares the power of traditional Italian music with the Monadnock region by performing Italian love songs for the Valentine’s Day season.

SUMMARY:Manchester - Conversation Café: A Spanish & English Intercambio
DESCRIPTION:This Conversation Café will be in both Spanish and English! \nThis will be a great opportunity for community members who speak either Spanish or English fluently and want to practice the other language. Or maybe you’re fluent in both and want to connect with other bilingual neighbors! \nThe idea for this event came about when two people (one native English speaker wanting to practice her Spanish\, and one native Spanish speaker wanting to practice his English) met at one of Welcoming Manchester’s regular Conversation Cafes and realized a great opportunity. Since then\, they have been meeting as friends for regular Spanish-English language exchange\, or intercambio\, and now they want to bring this exchange to the wider Spanish & English speaking community. \nWe hope you will join us for this fun\, new event! \n________________________________________________________________ \n¡Este será un Café de Conversación en español e inglés! \nEsta será una gran oportunidad para los miembros de la comunidad que hablan español o inglés con fluidez y desean practicar el otro idioma. ¡O tal vez dominas ambos y quieres conectarte con otros vecinos bilingües! \nLa idea de este evento surgió cuando dos personas (un hablante nativo de español que quería practicar su inglés y un hablante nativo de inglés que quería practicar su español) se encontraron en uno de los cafés de conversación habituales de Welcoming Manchester y se dieron cuenta de una gran oportunidad. Desde entonces\, se han estado reuniendo como amigos para el intercambio regular de idioma español-inglés\, y ahora quieren llevar este intercambio al resto de la comunidad de habla hispana e inglesa de Manchester. \n¡Esperamos que te unas a nosotros en este divertido y nuevo evento! \nCuándo: jueves\, 15 de febrero\, 6 p.m.-8 p.m. \nDónde: First Congregational Church\n508 Union St.\, Manchester\, NH\nEstacionamiento en la esquina de Union y Amherst St. (Camine a través de Amherst St. y entre a la iglesia por la puerta de atrás)

SUMMARY:Dover - Active Bystander Training
DESCRIPTION:Active Bystander Training\nIn a time when people are quicker to express anger and more likely to be angry at people “not like them”\, many of us are seeking tools to respond effectively to such biased anger. \nThis training will give you tools and insights to use in such situations and a chance to think about how you might use them. In this highly interactive session we present information\, share experiences\, and strategize bystander responses to a variety of situations. Participants will learn about roles we all play\, what discourages us from acting when we see harm doing\, how to move through this resistance\, tools to use when we are ready\, and basic principles to guide our actions. Please join us! \nSunday\, February 11\, 1 – 3pm\nDover\, NH \nTo register or for more information contact:\nAron DiBacco at 603-668-8250 or\nadibacco@granitestateorganizing.org
