GV Library – New Adulting Program

Posted on by csnnc
Hey Millennials and Gen Zers!
Have you gone incognito to google things like “what’s a 1040” and “is my chicken cooked”? Find some answers at Grass Valley Library’s new monthly #ADULTING program!
Starting in January 2025, join us at 6pm on the first Monday of the month for FREE presentations by local experts on some of the tricky situations we face as 20- and 30-somethings. And we’ll provide the pizza!
2025 kicks off with “Figuring Out Your Personal Finances” on January 6, where you can learn about types of bank accounts, how to create a budget, and maybe even when to start thinking about saving for retirement. (Hint: you should probably already be thinking about it.)
For more information about the program, visit the events calendar online or call the Grass Valley Library at (530) 273-4117.
* Please note that presenters will be providing a general overview and will not offer individuals financial advice. *

Wild & Scenic Film Festival

Posted on by csnnc

We Need You Behind the Scenes at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival.

At a truly successful film festival, the audience is immersed in the experience and never thinks for a moment about how all the chairs, screens, microphones, drinks, and merchandise got there. It just appears when needed and disappears when it’s needed somewhere else, all because of amazing Venue Logistics and Tech Setup volunteers.
This is the festival’s biggest volunteer team, and we’d love to have you join us. Both these roles require an ability to carry sometimes heavy gear up and down stairs and load it in and out of vehicles. It also requires an ability to follow directions well. Anyone who has worked in shipping/delivery, fulfillment, theater production, catering, or as a roadie for a band will be fantastic at these jobs. If you don’t have experience but would like to learn, we can teach you. Sign up here: https://buff.ly/3BDHARE

If you have questions, please contact Emily Wilson at emily@yubariver.org
