SUMMARY:Brownstone Midwest Supper Club\, December 8\, 2025: Green Acres Village’s Ann Kreilkamp
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILDecember 8\, 6:30PM – 9:30PM\nWe are thrilled to announce the next meeting of the Brownstone Midwest Supper Club on Monday\, December 8\, featuring Green Acres Village’s Ann Kreilkamp.\n“Growing Communities from the Ground Up: Green Acres Village – A Template for the Transformation of Suburban America” \nAbout the talk:\nAnn Kreilkamp will share the remarkable journey of creating Green Acres Village\, a thriving community nestled in the heart of suburban Bloomington. Ann will walk us through how she conceived and built this unique neighborhood\, where three homes with gardens\, a shared compost area\, greenhouse\, chicken coop\, patio\, and community stage come together as a living laboratory for intentional\, regenerative living. \nAnn calls her approach “emergent design”—a philosophy of making decisions “one after another\, little by little\,” allowing each choice to organically reveal the next step. Ann’s story reveals how these small\, deliberate actions can create transformational change\, build real community and have profound impact not just in our homes and neighborhoods\, but in our individual lives and our relationship with the earth. \nCome ready for inspiration as we discover how tiny steps can bring about slow\, meaningful transformation for ourselves and the soil beneath our feet. \nAbout Ann\nAnn Kreilkamp\, PhD (philosophy\, Boston University\, 1972) made an unexpected turn at age 60\, moving to Bloomington in 2003 from a 20-foot diameter yurt in Jackson Hole\, Wyoming. Having lived both on the east and west coasts but never visited the midwest\, Ann saw Indiana as a “flyover state” and had no interest in living there. But when her late husband decided to attend law school at IU\, she joined him. \nThen\, after only one evening together\, he died of a heart attack while asleep\, leaving her alone in a strange town. \nAnn had to stay. Why? She didn’t know. All she knew was that her husband had left her with a house in an inheritance\, and the question became: how was she to utilize it? \nVenue & Details\nLennie’s is a beloved Bloomington institution known for its warm atmosphere\, exceptional cuisine\, and craft beer selection. For over 30 years\, Lennie’s has been bringing people together over delicious food and drink in a setting perfect for meaningful conversation. \nLocation & Parking\nLennie’s is located at 514 E. Kirkwood Ave in the heart of downtown Bloomington\, Indiana. Free parking is available after 5PM in the Indiana University Von Lee Parking Lot at the corner of Sixth and Dunn\, and in the Indiana University Parking Lot #402 at 4th and Dunn. There is also metered parking (metered until 9PM) available on streets surrounding Kirkwood Avenue. Several parking garages are within walking distance. \nTicket Information\n$50 per person includes a tasty buffet dinner and drinks. Space is limited so secure your spot now! \nAccommodations\nExcellent hotels within walking distance of Lennie’s: \n\nGrant Street Inn – A historic charming local inn\nGraduate Bloomington – A boutique hotel celebrating Indiana University’s heritage\n\nFor more information contact Joni McGary at jonimcgary@me.com.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, West Hartford\, December 17\, 2025: L. Todd Wood\, Connecticut Centinal
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILOn Wednesday\, December 17\, 2025\, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club is pleased to welcome L. Todd Wood\, the CEO\, Publisher\, and Editor-in-Chief of CDM Media\, publisher of the Connecticut Centinal. Founded in 1806\, it is the state’s premier investigative newspaper. \nButterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of Brownstone Institute. Come early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends\, scholars\, writers\, and benefactors\, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun\, even if some people come in fancier clothing. \nTodd Wood has been through heck and back over five years of running an alternative media venue…and survived. The paper has been censored\, demonetized\, attacked\, banned\, and otherwise targeted at all levels. He will describe his travails through it all\, and how legacy media had become so absurdly one-sided and uncurious about everything that matters. \nHis media company today is competing with and often beating the well-funded competition\, and hence having a huge impact on the public mind – despite every attempt to crush it. \nSee you soon! \nNo Media
