SUMMARY:Brownstone Puget Sound Supper Club\, June 23\, 2026:  Dr. Janet Baseman
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILThe Brownstone Puget Sound Supper Club \nDr. Janet Baseman \nTuesday\, June 23rd from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm \nFamily Pancake House \n17621 Redmond Way\, Redmond\, WA \n$60 per person for dinner and wine\, coffee and/or tea \nPlease join us for the Pacific Northwest’s Brownstone Supper Club! It will be an opportunity to build community and lasting relationships while engaging in an interesting conversation about the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of a local epidemiologist at the University of Washington. \nAbout the Speaker  \nJanet Baseman\, PhD\, MPH is a Professor of Epidemiology and the Associate Dean for the Public Health Practice at the University of Washington’s (UW) School of Public Health. Her research is in the areas of infectious disease surveillance\, public health informatics\, and emergency preparedness and response systems. She teaches Field Epidemiology to graduate students and directs UW’s student outbreak response team. Prior to joining the UW faculty\, she spent several years at a local public health agency doing boots on the ground public health work. \nAbout the Talk \nThe University of Washington – and our surrounding communities – were “ground zero” for the COVID-19 pandemic’s entrance into the United States. Dr. Baseman will share what was really going on behind the scenes – including what was known at the time\, how that understanding changed\, and how those shifts influenced public health guidance and policy decisions. \nWe will also discuss the real impacts and tradeoffs these decisions had for individuals and communities\, reflect on where communication fell short\, and consider what it will take to rebuild the public’s trust moving forward. \nWe hope you can join us! \nVenue\, Location and Parking \nFamily Pancake House \n17621 Redmond Way\, Redmond\, WA \nParking is plentiful and free. \nRegistration \n$60 per person.  Space is limited so be sure to secure your seat early.  \nFor more information\, please contact Susan at srlund@aol.com.   Please \ninclude “Puget Sound Supper Club” in the subject line. \n

SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, West Hartford\, June 24\, 2026: Jeffrey Tucker
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILOn Wednesday\, June 24\, 2026\, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club – the first in the nation – is pleased to celebrate our country’s 250th birthday with a book party. The book is Spirits of America by Jeffrey Tucker\, who will be with us to sign copies and do a reading.  \nButterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of the 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. \nJeffrey Tucker is founder and president of Brownstone\, senior economics columnist at Epoch Times\, and author of 19 books. Spirits of America is probably the best seller among them\, and the one most personally reflective and searching. It seeks to discern and discuss the particular traits of the American character that built a young nation into a model for the world.  \nThe book began as a reflection on the provocative written half a century ago by Eric Sloane\, a sometimes dark elucidation of American virtues that were threatened with extinction. Tucker’s book is an update with a brighter spirit about the prospects for a post-lockdown nation. Since its release\, it has garnered wide praise for its honesty in grappling with the cultural and political challenges of our time.  \nFree copies will be available to all. Bring friends so that we can make this birthday and book party a very special occasion.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Austin Supper Club June 24\, 2026: Mary Parker & Cyndi Collen
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILBrownstone Austin Supper Club \nJune 24\, 2026:  Mary Parker & Cyndi Collen \nWednesday June 24th @ 5:30pm – 9:00pm \nCasa Garcia’s\, 1901 W William Cannon\, Austin TX 78745 \n 5:30pm – 9:00pm\n Austin\, Texas\n $50 per person for appetizer\, dinner\, speaker \nYou’re invited to an eye-opening evening of honest conversation about what’s really happening in mental healthcare — how over-diagnosis has led to the over-medicalization of everyday emotional and behavioral struggles\, and how a holistic approach is changing lives in ways pharmaceuticals simply can’t. \nAbout Mary & Cyndi \nMary Parker\, LPC-S is a licensed counselor\, functional mental health practitioner\, and author of Wired for the Wild: How ADHD Is Your Biological Superpower. With years of clinical experience supporting children and families navigating ADHD\, Mary has developed a root-cause approach that integrates evolutionary biology\, nutrition\, nervous system science\, and genetic individuality.  She brings to every conversation the fire of a clinician who has fought for families\, the precision of a researcher who has read the data\, and the heart of a mother who has lived it.\n\n Cyndi Collen\, LCSW-S is a licensed clinical social worker\, certified integrative mental health professional\, and founder of Flourish Holistic Mental Wellness and the Mindful Wellness Center of Austin. A clinician and educator with hundreds of successful client outcomes\, Cyndi champions holistic\, somatic\, and integrative approaches to anxiety and depression — and trains fellow therapists on the critical gap between SSRI research findings and what patients and providers are actually told. \nAbout the Talk \nMary & Cyndi tackle one of modern medicine’s most pressing controversies — the over-medicalization of depression and ADHD. They dismantle the widely-promoted chemical imbalance theory\, expose the hidden risks of psychiatric medications that patients are never told about\, and make the case for holistic and functional approaches that deliver real\, lasting results — without the prescription pad. They’ll also break down emerging policy efforts aimed at reining in psychiatric overmedication. \nVenue\, Location & Parking\n Casa Garcia’s is at the intersection of W William Cannon and Menchaca.  There is a large parking lot.   We will be in the ‘Party Room’\, which is to the left of the reception / hostess area.   \nRegistration\n $50 per person.  Space is limited so be sure to secure your seat early.  For more information contact Cyndi at cyndi@flourishholisticwellness.com.   Please include “Austin Supper Club” in the subject line.
