Humboldt-ERFSA Hosting Luncheon October 13th

This is a press release from the Humboldt Emeritus and Retired Faculty & Staff Association:

[Humboldt Emeritus and Retired Faculty & Staff Association], the retired faculty and staff Association of Cal Poly Humboldt is pleased to announce that there will be two presenters at their quarterly luncheon on Thursday, October 13 (in-person or via Zoom) from the Plaza View Room in Arcata. Doors will open at 11:30 am with presentations beginning at 12:15 pm. All in-person guests should be fully vaccinated. Masks will be voluntary. Lunch will be available for purchase, or to-go.

The first presenter will be Melinda McLarin, Humboldt County Public Health Department Supervising Public Health Nurse and Immunization Coordinator. She will be providing up-to-date information on COVID-19 Vaccines, including boosters against the new Omicron sub-variants.

Next, Kaitlin Reed, Assistant Professor of Native American Studies will discuss her forthcoming book, From Gold Rush to Green Rush. The “Green Rush,” is an apt reference to manifest destiny, resource extraction, and wealth accumulation. This manuscript focuses on the experiences of California Indians within the context of cannabis studies and colonialism.

Lunch, prepared by Uniquely Yours Catering, includes bread, salad, and sides, available for $17.50, for there, or to-go. Wine will be available. Humboldt ERFSA will cover the cost of the first glass of wine for those buying lunch.

If you are retired from Humboldt, we hope you will consider joining ERFSA. Semester dues are $20.00 to help defray the cost of advertising, mailings, and socials. Simply search for “Humboldt ERFSA” online to learn how to join.
