Tuesday, June 5 -- As a celiac diagnosed over 30 years ago and traveling the globe for business, Boquete resident Sharna Kahn quickly had to master how to minimize the risk of eating out at most any restaurant and obtain a gluten free and allergy free meal long before the food industry knew what gluten was. Her institutional food handling knowledge was acquired as a photojournalist and blogger for the emerging gluten free industry in the U.S. via the online Examiner (when the wave started over 15 years ago), a current TripAdvisor gluten free restaurant reviewer (50k plus readers), and consumer reporter for celiac medical research. She also completed a certified course for institutional food handling of allergenic foods. Learn how to enjoy eating out with confidence that your meal meets your dietary needs with a factual and fun filled presentation.

In addition to growing what might be the largest collection of heliconia species in the world, Carla enjoys water gardening. See how easy it can be to have your own water lilies blooming just out the window. Come prepared with your gardening questions and puzzles, and we'll wrap up with a discussion of what's going on in your garden.
Tuesday, June 19 – Glenn Davis, author, lecturer, college professor, historian, and Boquete resident. He is the author of 4 books available on Amazon.com, three other books published in Japanese by leading Japanese publishers and hundreds of articles on Japan and Japan-American relations. One book is titled "How We Lived in Wellborn before Television" about the small town in Texas where he grew up in the 1950's. He took note that Wellborn residents were very close-knit and friendly. People visited each other, sat out on their front porches and didn't lock their doors. But that was before TV arrived and changed everything about the small village. People did not visit as much and socialization virtually stopped inside homes as everyone was glued to their new boob tubes. Glenn will present a thoughtful comparison of today's cell phone and computer technology with the TV invasion of the past. Are cell phones the new TV? You can now see people sitting at home with their cell phones glued to their hands sending messages to each other in the same room, even on the same sofa. Real communities are being replaced by virtual ones. Where is all this tapping and beeping leading societies? Depressing or enlightening, the audience can choose.
