  About This Month's Book (Amazon Review):

  An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States
   The runaway New York Time’s bestseller!

  Can a simple concept shift your entire world? Bob certainty thinks so. When it comes to loving your neighbors, instead of focusing on having the “right answers” or checking the “right boxes,” what if you decide to simply do love? To shamelessly show love and grace to those around you--what would that look like? Not the kind of love that stops at thoughts and feelings, Bob's love takes action. Bob believes Love Does.
  
  It might look like spending 16 days in the Pacific Ocean with five guys and a crate of canned meat. It might look like taking your kids on a world tour to eat ice cream with heads of state. It might look like taking a road trip with a stressed-out college student--even though you just got married a few days before.
  
  When Love Does, life gets interesting. Light and fun, unique and profound, the lessons drawn from Bob's life and attitude in this collection of stories just might inspire you to be secretly incredible, too.
  
  If you love Love Does, don’t forget to check out Everybody, Always for more of Bob’s delightful and inspiring stories.

  Looking for a way to let off some steam this summer? Join one of the Cleveland Professional Twenty-Thirty Club's volleyball teams! Each summer the 20/30 Club partners with Mulberry's for a session of 6 vs. 6 co-ed volleyball games. 

  The level of play is casual/recreational and is self-officiated. It's a nice way to make new friends and get some exercise on a Monday night! The league starts on 5/3/2021 and runs for 7 weeks, plus 1-2 weeks of playoffs (this likely includes Memorial Day but is subject to change). Schedules are determined at the discretion of the volleyball league. We will inform the team with as much notice as possible, however, game times can be determined with one to two days' notice. Start times for the games could be 6:00PM, 7:00PM, 8:00PM, 9:00PM, or 10:00PM.

  All games will be at:

  Mulberry's

  2316 Mulberry Ave.

  Cleveland, OH

  Currently registration is open to professional members only, but it may be expanded to social members if there are spots available.

  If you register for the league, you are expected to attend; if you cannot, you must give 24 hours notice if you are unable to make a game so we have adequate time to find another professional member to substitute.

  About This Month's Book (Amazon Review):

  “The Joy Luck Club is one of my favorite books. From the moment I first started reading it, I knew it was going to be incredible. For me, it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime reading experiences that you cherish forever. It inspired me as a writer and still remains hugely inspirational.” —Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians
  
  Amy Tan’s beloved, New York Times bestselling tale of mothers and daughters
  
  Four mothers, four daughters, four families whose histories shift with the four winds depending on who's "saying" the stories. In 1949 four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to eat dim sum, play mahjong, and talk. United in shared unspeakable loss and hope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Rather than sink into tragedy, they choose to gather to raise their spirits and money. "To despair was to wish back for something already lost. Or to prolong what was already unbearable." Forty years later the stories and history continue.
  
  With wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the sometimes painful, often tender, and always deep connection between mothers and daughters. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined. Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of their matriarchal ties. Tan is an astute storyteller, enticing readers to immerse themselves into these lives of complexity and mystery.

  Start your weekend off right with an evening sail on the BrewBoat Cleveland. 

  What can/should I bring on a BrewBoat CLE cruise?

  The BrewBoat comes equipped with a Bluetooth stereo system that can connect to your phone, coolers fully stocked with ice and an experienced captain and crew member.

  Here are some suggestions for you to bring, to make the most of your experience:

  • 3-4 beers per person, or a standard wine bottle for every two people. NO liquor is permitted onboard.
  • An awesome playlist. You're the DJ, so we'll crank out whatever your group likes.
  • Weather appropriate clothes. We’re a summer attraction, but it’s Cleveland, so keep an eye on the forecast anyway and dress accordingly.
  • Munchies. Pizzas, pretzels, those delicious little sandwiches you make, etc.
  • Your awesome attitude and beautiful face. In case no one said anything, you are really looking great today.

  Where do I board the BrewBoat?

  We'll pick up you (and your group) at our dock at Channel Park Marina, 5300 Whiskey Island Drive, Cleveland, OH 44102. As you enter the marina, free parking will be available directly adjacent to our dock. Please arrive 15-20 minutes prior to your scheduled cruise time.

  What happens if there's bad weather?

  We'll still cruise in light rain, but high winds and thunderstorms are a no-go.
  If we need to cancel your cruise due to foul weather, we'll cry a little bit on the inside and provide you with a refund. The weather in Cleveland can change quickly from one hour to the next, so we may not be able to make the official call until the time of your cruise.

  Where can I go to the bathroom?

  The golden question! The BrewBoat does not have a bathroom on board, so please plan accordingly and go before you ride. Restrooms are available at the marina.

  About This Month's Book (Amazon Review):

  A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?

  When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.

  In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

  "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." --Randy Pausch

  Want to live your dreams--or even surpass them? Want the world to change for the better? Want to see a miracle? What are we waiting for? Why not be the miracle?
  
  That's the challenge Regina Brett sets forth in Be the Miracle.To be a miracle doesn't necessarily mean tackling problems across the globe. It means making a difference, believing change is possible, even in your own living room, cubicle, neighborhood, or family.
  
  Through a collection of inspirational essays, Regina shares lessons that will help people make a difference in the world around them. The lessons come from Regina's life experience and from the lives of others, especially those she has met in her 24 years as a journalist. Each chapter is a lesson that can stand alone, but together they form a handbook for seeing the miracle of change everywhere.
  
  With upbeat lessons from "Do Your Best and Forget the Rest" to "Sometimes It's Enough to Make One Person Happy," these lessons will help you accept and embrace yourself, challenge and change yourself, and better serve others.

  About This Month's Book (Amazon Review):

  Once in a great while a book comes along that changes the way we see the world and helps to fuel a nationwide social movement. The New Jim Crow is such a book. Praised by Harvard Law professor Lani Guinier as "brave and bold," this book directly challenges the notion that the election of Barack Obama signals a new era of colorblindness. With dazzling candor, legal scholar Michelle Alexander argues that "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." By targeting black men through the War on Drugs and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control—relegating millions to a permanent second-class status—even as it formally adheres to the principle of colorblindness. In the words of Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, this book is a "call to action."
  
  Called "stunning" by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David Levering Lewis, "invaluable" by the Daily Kos, "explosive" by Kirkus, and "profoundly necessary" by the Miami Herald, this updated and revised paperback edition of The New Jim Crow, now with a foreword by Cornel West, is a must-read for all people of conscience.

  About This Month's Book (Amazon Review):

  For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America.
  
  In this curse-word-free edition of Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

  About This Month's Book (Amazon Review):

  Year after year, readers pulled me aside at events and said, “I’ve never had a problem starting. I’ve started a million things, but I never finish them. Why can’t I finish?
  
  According to studies, 92 percent of New Year’s resolutions fail. You’ve practically got a better shot at getting into Juilliard to become a ballerina than you do at finishing your goals.
  
  For years, I thought my problem was that I didn’t try hard enough. So I started getting up earlier. I drank enough energy drinks to kill a horse. I hired a life coach and ate more superfoods. Nothing worked, although I did develop a pretty nice eyelid tremor from all the caffeine. It was like my eye was waving at you, very, very quickly.
  
  Then, while leading a thirty-day online course to help people work on their goals, I learned something surprising: The most effective exercises were not those that pushed people to work harder. The ones that got people to the finish line did just the opposite— they took the pressure off.
  
  Why? Because the sneakiest obstacle to meeting your goals is not laziness, but perfectionism. We’re our own worst critics, and if it looks like we’re not going to do something right, we prefer not to do it at all. That’s why we’re most likely to quit on day two, “the day after perfect”—when our results almost always underper­form our aspirations.
  
  The strategies in this book are counterintuitive and might feel like cheating. But they’re based on studies conducted by a university researcher with hundreds of participants. You might not guess that having more fun, eliminating your secret rules, and choosing something to bomb intentionally works. But the data says otherwise. People who have fun are 43 percent more successful! Imagine if your diet, guitar playing, or small business was 43 percent more suc­cessful just by following a few simple principles.
  
  If you’re tired of being a chronic starter and want to become a consistent finisher, you have two options: You can continue to beat yourself up and try harder, since this time that will work. Or you can give yourself the gift of done.
