A perfect Father’s Day event and gift, this is an event you won’t want to miss. Join us at M.Judson on Tuesday, June 11 at 7 pm to meet some of the authors who contributed to Gather at the River, a collection of 25 authors’ thoughts on fishing. Gather at the River includes Ron Rash writing about a 50-year-old fly reel and NYT bestselling author C.J. Box revealing the river where he wants his ashes spread. This is an anthology about friendship, family, love and loss, and everything in between, because as Henry David Thoreau wrote, “it is not really about the fish they are after.”
Several of the contributing authors will be there, including David Joy, Scott Gould, JC Sasser, Mark Powell, and Ray McManus. Don’t let this night be the one that got away!
To celebrate the end of the school year and thank our employees for their hard work the Greenville Drive is offering every GCS staff member a complimentary ticket to the game on 6/11 (using promo code TEACH) as well as a $5 ballpark voucher that can be used at any ballpark concession stands or team store locations.
The link to purchase tickets is www.greenvilledrive.com/groupportal. Use password GCS.
Additional tickets for family members can be purchased through this same portal at $8 each. We’ll have each order bundled together (tickets + ballpark vouchers + raffle ticket) at our Main St. will call office for pick up on the day of the game.
Please note that the TEACH promo code will only work one time per order. If there are multiple staff members/teachers in one family, a second order can be done using the promo code, or our box office will be happy to help over the phone or in person.

You’ll laugh a lot and maybe even shed a few tears in this unique comedy.

Spartanburg Fringe Arts Festival is a new summer festival in Upstate South Carolina that celebrates the creativity of those usually considered to be on the “fringe” of polite society. Throughout the month, we will present dozens of shows, exhibits, and events in theatre, music, dance, comedy, spoken word, film, and progressive thinking.
Headlining will be writer, director, producer Del Shores, the bad boy of Sordid Lives; Fun Home, a Tony-winning Broadway musical; House of Mann, mind-blowing and gender-bending fashions; and Rev. Jim Dant, a nationally recognized thought-leader in Christian acceptance of alternative lifestyles.
There will also be an art exhibit and regional performing artists in theatre, music, and literature.

WHEN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COMES TO WORK
Did you know???
One in three women and one in four men have been victims (of some form) of domestic violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
Domestic violence has been estimated to cost US employers up to $13 billion each year.
Between one-quarter and one-half of domestic violence victims report they lost a job at least in part due to domestic violence.
(Source: National Network to End Domestic Violence)
Six Upstate South Carolina area organizations are working together to host a dynamic and interactive full-day workshop, “When Domestic Violence Comes to Work,” on Wednesday, June 12, at Thornblade Club.
Workshop hosts include Employers Network, Greenville Chamber, Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, Safe Harbor, Safe Homes-Rape Crisis, and Steps to HOPE.
Participants will learn what to do if an employee is a victim of domestic violence and what community resources are available to assist.
Workshop registration and a continental breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m. The workshop will start at 9 a.m., and end at 4:30 p.m. Guests will be treated to a Thornblade Club buffet lunch.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Participants will gain an understanding of:
Obstacles that victims of domestic violence face (including employment)
How domestic violence can create a barrier to holding or excelling at a job
The complexity of domestic violence situations
Resources that are available to employers to address domestic violence situations
Tools to prevent domestic violence from coming to work
