SUMMARY:Spirit Week for Our Four-Legged Friends In Need
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps one of the most valuable\, yet undervalued members of our community is Dorchester Paws. This is Summerville’s non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to providing shelter\, care\, and support for homeless animals in Dorchester County. As owners of many rescue animals ourselves\, we can tell you they’re doing an incredible job with the very limited resources at their disposal. \n\n\n\nBut now they need OUR help. Due to constant flooding\, evacuations (see right)\, and too many animals in crisis\, Dorchester Paws requires a larger\, higher-ground facility. The organization is now raising funds\, assisted by a $1.5 million state grant\, to construct a state-of-the-art shelter\, furthering the organization’s mission to provide the highest level of care and support for homeless animals and the community. \n\n\n\nThe grant\, provided by the State of South Carolina\, represents a significant investment in the welfare of animals and the community as a whole. It’s a crucial start\, but more is needed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new animal shelter\, (plan shown above) which will be a cornerstone of Dorchester Paws’ operations\, will not only benefit the animals under their care but also offer various services and resources to the residents of Dorchester County. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe grant will support private funding efforts and that’s where WE all come in. Lots of small donations will make up the bulk of the funding needed\, so we’re jumping in for a Spirit Week in honor of our four-legged friends. A percentage of ALL our sales\, from Sunday\, November 19th\, through Small Business Saturday\, November 25th\, will go directly to Dorchester Paws. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, we’ll have a donation box in the store that will be up until the end of the month\, when we’ll present a grand total to Dorchester Paws. We encourage you to give of yourselves\, and in honor of loved people and pets\, to help this very worthy cause. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFYI: The new animal shelter will be equipped with modern facilities to provide comfort\, care\, and support to the animals awaiting adoption. It will feature expanded kennel space\, a public spay & neuter clinic\, a dedicated adoption center\, and educational resources to raise awareness about responsible pet ownership. \n\n\n\nDorchester Paws will be working closely with the State of South Carolina and our local community to ensure that the new shelter meets the highest standards of animal care and welfare. The organization is excited about the positive impact this new facility will have on the lives of animals and the Dorchester County community. \n\n\n\nThanks on behalf of Dorchester Paws for your support – let’s show ’em readers DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Reading Jane with Susannah Kennedy!
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to be a part of this eastern leg of Susannah’s tour – come join in the fun and enjoy refreshments and some stimulating conversation. The book will be available to be signed by the author that day! \n\n\n\nReading Jane: A Daughter’s Memoir and the book tour “Surviving the Narcissistic Mother” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the estimation of narcissism and its impact on children grows\, more people are identifying as the children of such an upbringing. They have been raised by a parent whose sense of self-importance overshadowed the child\, the child existing rather as an extension of a parental self that lacks empathy and often exploits their child. It’s estimated that nearly 60 million people are damaged by such relational patterns. Children of such parents are vulnerable to poor self-esteem\, lack of boundaries\, and co-dependence. \n\n\n\nHaving emerged on the other side of this phenomenon\, Susannah Kennedy\, author of Reading Jane: A Daughter’s Memoir has launched her book tour along the East Coast. The tour includes a stop at Main Street Reads in Summerville!\, where she’ll sign copies as well as address her path to healing. It wasn’t an easy one\, and might not have been achieved at all had Susannah’s mother not inexplicably taken her own life at age 75. When Susannah discovered 45 years of Jane’s diaries\, she had a portal into the narrative her mother created and lived. \n\n\n\nSusannah avoided plunging in for three years\, until she was driven to do so\, to understand finally the mystery her mother presented. What emerges is Susannah’s own story in contrast to her mother’s\, and ultimately leads her to finally shake off the constraints set by Jane’s need to control both the narrative and her daughter. \n\n\n\nPrevious events on the West Coast leg of the tour have demonstrated that Susannah is not alone. Nearly 5 percent or 1 in 200 people suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and the sons and daughters are showing up at book events — to take from Susannah’s story of healing the hope they might finally understand and heal their own. \n\n\n\nThe Reading Jane: Surviving the Narcissistic Mother Eastern Seaboard Tour will encompass 12 cities in October and November 2023: Boston and Gloucester\, Massachusetts; Newport\, Rhode Island; Owego and Woodstock\, New York; Washington D.C.; Montrose and Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania; Charlotte\, North Carolina; Hilton Head Island and Summerville\, South Carolina; and Savannah\, Georgia. For details on dates\, times\, and locations\, please visit www.sibyllinepress.com or www.susannahkennedy.com. Main Street Reads at 115 S. Main Street in Summerville will host Susannah on November 19th from 1-3 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the author: Berkeley and Oxford-educated anthropologist Susannah Kennedy was born in India and raised in the United States. Later\, she traveled extensively on her own\, first in Italy\, and then through the Middle East and India\, settling for two years in Egypt before becoming a reporter in Dallas\, Texas. At Oxford University\, she specialized in Arab culture and politics\, receiving her DPhil in social anthropology. She and her psychoanalyst husband lived and worked in Germany\, raising three children in a thatched-roof farmhouse in the countryside outside Hamburg. Her mother’s suicide and its aftermath brought them back to California in 2017. They now reside in Marin County.
