Time: 5:00 PM (US/Pacific) Location: Coloma Community Center, 4623 T Street, Sacramento, CAAre you ready to have some fun? Well then join us this Saturday, March 13 at Coloma Community Center where we'll have more fun than you can stand and then we'll have more fun! Yes folks, we'll start this Saturday beginning at 5:00PM with the lovely and talented Ms. Susan Petrick who will delight us with one of her brilliant intermediate waltz workshops. Always informative, Susan will lead you through some very fancy new moves...and by the time you're done at 6:30PM, you'll be able to waltz with the pros! All this for the mere donation of $5 per person.
We'll all be hungry when the waltz workshop is over, so come down the hall to the Rescue Room sporting your very favorite potluck dish with serving utensils and eat! Our dance community members are also some of the best cooks in Sacramento, so you won't want to miss it! We'll supply plates, plastic eating utensils and napkins. You bring a beverage.
We'll be ready to dance once again after the potluck and it won't surprise you that multitalented Susan Petrick will be our caller that evening along with the energetic sounds of Ratnip (Caroline McCaskey, Cole Ingraham, Alan Snyder, and Howard Booster). Beginning at 8PM (7:30PM for a beginners lesson), we'll continue our fun until 11PM or we drop...whichever comes first. Don't miss it contra fans! Donation for contra which is separate from the waltz workshop is $10 for adults, $5 for full time students with ID, and $25 maximum for families.

Filmmaker Susheel Bibbs is scheduled to be in attendance at this special Sacramento screening which is being held in conjunction with the Sacramento Historical Society.
Meet Mary Pleasant A unique, historical, performance documentary, unfolds the saga of Mary Ellen Pleasant the daring, unsung, 19th-century African-American activist and entrepreneur now called the Mother of Civil Rights in California. Narrated by the acclaimed actress Ruby Dee (SAG Best Supporting Actress, 2007), the film allows Pleasant to speak in live performance, using song, montage, re-enactment, commentary, and narration to enliven a backdrop of achievement, love, scandal, and American history. Pleasant's story is inspiring and important internationally. As entrepreneur, she amassed $30,000,000, and as activist, she changed modern-day civil rights law and affected civil rights throughout the US and in Canada.

Herpers
It is estimated that there are 13 million pet reptiles in the United States alone. That means that approximately 4% of households in the country houses a least one reptile, some have even more. In fact, there are even a few who have achieved quite a wealth with their reptile breeding programs. These people are known as "Herpers" stemming from the word Herpetology: the study of reptiles and amphibians. Still, the fact remains that there are two kinds of people in the world: those who are reptile fanatics, and those who have no idea that there are people in the world who are, in fact, reptile fanatics. Herpers is a feature-length documentary for them both, produced by the multiple award-winning filmmaker, Dav Kaufman who fits proudly in the former category. Herpers takes us from coast-to-coast from the forests of Virginia to the skyscrapers of Chicago to the hills of Hollywood and all points in between in search of this unique reptile culture. We visit with Reptile Breeders, Enthusiasts, and Celebrity Herpers alike in this entertaining, funny, and sometimes peculiar investigation into not only one of the most misunderstood creatures on our planet, but the "Herper": the most misunderstood people on our planet as well.
