Music Therapist Bill Dluhosh
Join us on Saturday, September 25, 2010 at 2:00 & 3:00 PM for a prelude to the Kadlec Neurological Resource Center's upcoming Music and the Brain conference on October 15, 2010. At the Barnes & Noble event Bill Dluhosh, MT-BC, a Board Certified Music Therapist at Kadlec Regional Medical Center will talk about and demonstrate how music can be used for more than just enjoyment. Several studies over the last 40 years have shown how the brain both responds to and can benefit from music. Music is just another tool that can be used with people affected by Autism, Dementia, Strokes, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Great for educators, caregivers and parents.

Rivers of Ink: Celebrating local authors and their work
Get up close and personal with local authors of almost every genre including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, spirituality, fantasy, cookbooks, children's literature, and more. Discuss the inspiration behind their books, get insights into the writing process, or discover the challenges of developing a manuscript. Have your book signed or purchase a new book. Then relax with refreshments while listening to a panel discussion and dramatic readings of selected book excerpts. New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs is our keynote speaker.
Rivers of Ink is hosted by the Richland Arts Commission in partnership with Richland Parks and Recreation and American Association of University Women, with support from Barnes & Noble and Adventures Underground. Admission is free and all are encouraged to attend. For more info, visit www.riversofink.org .
