SUMMARY:Orlando Ortega-Medina
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts Orlando Ortega-Medina for Jerusalem Ablaze: Stories of Love and Other Obsessions\, which was shortlisted for the Polari First Book Prize 2017.

Sometimes bleak\, occasionally violent\, and often possessed of a dark humor\, each story contains characters who are flawed individuals trying their best to make sense of their lives. \n“Ortega-Medina’s prose is elegant and potent throughout\, with visceral passages bathed in lyricism.”—Kirkus Reviews \n— \nOrlando Ortega-Medina was born in California and is of Judeo-Spanish descent via Cuba. He studied English Literature at UCLA and has a Juris Doctor law degree from Southwestern University School of Law. Orlando is now a British citizen and currently lives in London\, where he practices US immigration law. @OOrtegaMedina \nPlease note: this event will be held at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. RSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Jerusalem Ablaze\, order here and put your request in the comments field.

SUMMARY:Word Week "Therapy Animals Change Lives!"

Saturday\, March 10\, 2018\, 4pm-5pm at Umpqua Bank\, 3938 24th St. in Noe Valley. A Word Week 2018 event. \nYou often think of the SPCA as a place for animal rescue\, however did you know they have one of the largest animal therapy programs in the World. With the help of 300 volunteers\, therapy animals touch the lives of such diverse groups as returning veterans with PTSD to children having challenges with reading. Each year over 100\,000 members of our community benefit from animal therapy which includes specially trained dogs and even a pig! \nOur speaker:\nDr. Jennifer Henley joined the Peace Corps (Cameroon). Upon completion of her service she relocated to SF and began working for the SF SPCA. Her primary interest is in the human-animal bond and its therapeutic benefits. This led to her current position as head of the Animal Assisted Therapy department at the San Francisco SPCA. The department works with nearly 300 volunteers\, whose pets go through extensive certification to be qualified to visit people in hospitals\, nursing homes\, psychiatric centers/behavioral health clinics\, schools\, libraries\, SF Jail\, and day programs for developmentally disabled persons.
