Take Note Troupe Presents Scrooge The Musical

Scrooge The Musical will performed by Take Note Troupe November 20-23 and 25.


Take Note Troupe debuts their first full musical production with this delightful retelling of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol.

Dreary London is brought to life with exuberant song and dance as audience members engage in the tale of iconic, coin-mongering Ebenezer Scrooge. Called to repentance by his deceased business partner, Scrooge embarks on a time-traveling journey with the aid of three Christmas Spirits.

His journey of love, loss, hope, joy and redemption teaches us all that the quality of life extends far beyond one's cash box.

Come kick off the holiday season with this fun-filled, heart-warming show!

Sunset Ridge Mandarins In Season!

Mandarins are a part of the delicious tastes of fall and winter, and Sunset Ridge Mandarins are ready to go!

They have a large crop of mandarins this year and they are ripening at least two weeks ahead of normal. The growing conditions have been great... mild winter, leading to mild spring to fairly cool summer, etc.

They will have mid-season ripe mandarins for Thanksgiving and beyond. You can order mandarins on-line now at GotMandarins.com, and they start shipping them out November 15th. Farm will open in full swing on November 15th also!

Many kids and adults love to harvest their own mandarins with their "u-pick" option. Bring a group and try it. School groups must call ahead to schedule a weekday appointment.

Sunset Ridge will also have mandarins available in the east Roseville/Granite Bay area starting November 15th at the Shell Gas Station, corner of Sierra College Blvd. and Douglas Blvd. Their plan is to be there daily throughout the season from 10-5p.m., weather permitting and fruit availability. When they are not there, they typically stock the gas station store with a dozen bags to have available for the earlier and later hours.

For more information, please visit GotMandarins.com.

Folsom Lake College Speaker Series Spotlights Food And Medicine This November

The community is invited to attend more engaging presentations in the Folsom Lake College Speaker Series this fall:

Dr. Charlotte Biltekoff - "Eating Right in America"
Wednesday, November 20, 12:00noon-1:00p.m., Folsom campus, Large Lecture Hall 
Dr. Charlotte Biltekoff, an Assistant Professor of Food Science & Technology at UC Davis, is fascinated with the relationship Americans have with their food. Her latest book, Eating Right in America: The Cultural Politics of Food and Health, investigates the history of dietary ideals and their relationship to social ideals. It argues that despite the seeming objectivity of norms of good health, dietary advice has historically served an important ideological and political role.

The project examines four different reform movements and shows how each was shaped by social concerns and provided dietary advice that reflected norms of moral personhood and good citizenship. The event is held in conjunction with the college's One Book series. For more information on this event, please email haugp@flc.losrios.edu.

Dr. Ted Christy - "Science, Cars and Medicine - a Noble Career"
Wednesday, November 20, 7:00-9:00p.m., Folsom campus, Large Lecture Hall 
 The nation's medical care programs are hot topics among every news organization imaginable. Back by popular demand, Dr. Ted Christy, a retired physician, will talk about the circuitous route that lead him from an interest in Physics to fixing cars on the streets of Berkeley and finally a career in medicine. He will share some of the lessons he learned along the way and how a love of lifelong learning fueled his journey. He will also give his appraisal of the current state of medicine in the U.S. and include a discussion of the biggest change in federal support programs since Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, aka "ObamaCare."

The event is hosted by Biology Professor Mike Denega and the El Dorado County Career Technical Partnership SB70 Sustainability Team. For more information on this event, please email denegam@flc.losrios.edu.

Admission to both events is free (a daily parking pass can be purchased for $1). A map to the campus can be found at flc.losrios.edu – just click on “Maps” at the top of the home page and then “Main Folsom Campus.”
