Would you like to honor and serve America? Do you want to prepare for your future while making new friends? Then rise to the challenge of cadet membership in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol.
The CAP Cadet Program is a year-round program where Cadets fly, learn to lead, hike, camp, get in shape, and push themselves to new limits. If you’re dreaming about a career in aviation, space, or the military, CAP’s Cadet Program is for you. No military commitment is required.
To become a cadet, you must be at least 12 years old and not yet 19 years old. Cadets meet 2 hours per week and one Saturday per month, on average, and also have opportunities to attend leadership encampments, career academies, and other activities during the summer.
CAP also needs adults to support the cadet program and aerospace education program. CAP needs ground team members to aid in the rescue of survivors or to assess damage after a disaster, communications personnel to relay messages, administrative staff, financial managers, logistics and supply personnel are needed to document weekly meetings as well as our missions.

A fun, fast paced vinyasa flow designed to energize and balance the chakras or physical, emotional and spiritual energy centers. When the chakras are open, aligned and fluid, prana or energy can flow freely creating sense of self-empowerment and harmony. Students will explore a deeper sense of self-awareness and challenge their limits of dynamic, static and cardiovascular strength. If it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change you.

Concerts
Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
Chamber Ensemble
7:30 pm Thursday, October 17, 2019
Schwab Auditorium
The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble was created in 1967 to perform the larger works of chamber music repertoire with players who customarily work together—instead of the usual string quartet with additional guests. Drawn from the principal players of London’s world-renowned Academy of St. Martin in the Fields chamber orchestra and led by violinist Tomo Keller, the chamber ensemble performs in all shapes and sizes. For this concert, it will perform as an octet and a sextet.
The program will include a new string octet being composed for the ensemble by English composer Sally Beamish, plus Johannes Brahms’ Sextet for Strings No. 2 in G Major, Op. 36, and Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings in E-flat Major, Op. 20.
A Dallas Morning News critic calls the group “an ensemble of first-rate musicians, technically superb, generously expressive, and obviously enjoying themselves.”
In addition to Keller, the ensemble includes violinists Harvey De Souza, Jennifer Godson, and Martin Burgess; violists Robert Smissen and Fiona Bonds; and cellists Stephen Orton and Will Schofield.
The chamber ensemble’s touring commitments are extensive and include regular visits to Europe and North America. Recording contracts with Philips Classics, Hyperion, and Chandos have led to the release of more than thirty albums.
Artistic Viewpoints will not be offered before this performance.
Adult $48
University Park Student $15

Exhibits
In this exhibition of roughly 100 portraits, Shepherd re-presents people from the media cycle from 2017 through last week. We see criminals, victims of crime, politicians, heroes, artists and others caught up in the press, drawn equally.
WE NEVER LEFT celebrates contemporary artists descended from American Indians who, against all odds, remained in the Southeast. They are members of tribes who continue to live in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Their highly diverse artwork addresses a variety of issues, including cultural preservation, language revitalization, personal identity and expression, community pride, and threats to homeland and the natural environment.
Health
In this all levels class we will start off with gentle poses and work up towards more active poses. We will explore our alignment in the postures and work towards holding poses for more cycles of breath. Mantras and yoga philosophy will be introduced in this class as well. All levels of students are welcome to attend. Individual attention will be given and poses modified to meet your practice where you are at so whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for awhile this class invites you to join us.
This is a beginner level class emphasizing the coordination of breath with movement, as well as restorative postures designed to soothe and comfort.
Qigong is a Chinese system of physical exercises and breathing control similar to Yoga and Tai Chi. In this class, students will experience the benefits of blending all of these practices together. Through gentle movement, self applied massage, breathing practices, deep relaxation and meditation, participants can improve their overall balance, flexibility, and well being.

Newspapers can offer vital clues about your family, for time periods not covered by
"the usual sources." They also help add detail to an otherwise bare family tree.
Several different commercial websites as well as several free ones make it possible
to research historical papers. This talk will show how to conduct searches on
several different platforms, some tips and tricks to get better results, and how to
find the newspapers of most interest to you.
