Power to Possibility
never stop evolving
Saturday, October 26, 2-3:30
‘I want women to be encouraged when they meet me and
discover what I’ve been able to achieve.
I wish for them to know that they can achieve what they thought was
impossible.” That’s the message Seavers,
62-year-old bikini body builder, model, and musician plans to share with women
at her “Power to Possibility: Never Stop Evolving” seminar, 2-3:30 Saturday,
October 26 at LaDeDa Books, 1624 New York Avenue in Manitowoc.
Seavers
found her way to Manitowoc via Mississippi, Pittsburg, and Nashville. Whie in Nashville, she, along with husband,
Jace, co-hosted, produced, and performed in a variety show called “Meet the
Seavers.” Clips from the show can be
found on www.meettheseavers.com. Dorothy Seaver’s resume is peppered with
film, television, commercial and print credits. Her B.B.A. in business
management, and minor in marketing provided the breadth and depth needed to
develop the focus of her seminar.
Although
Seaver will share her path with attendees, this will not be a traditional sit
and listen motivational presentation.
There will be discussion, activities, and thought-provoking nudges to
stimulate participation. Topics to be
covered include sparking your journey, motivation vs discipline, getting
through the winter months, accountability, connecting with like-mined people,
and protecting your peace.
Attendance is limited and those interested are
encourage to register by October 21. A
pre-paid fee of $20 is required. Email myyearnewlife@gmail.com

Meet and Greet
Corey Geiger, the “Dancing Dairyman” who once appeared on
Steve Harvey’s “Family Feud” game show will visit LaDeDa Book, 1624 New York
Ave, Manitowoc, for a meet and greet book signing, Saturday, July 24,
10:30-12:00.
On a Wisconsin Farm documents
the life of a multigenerational farm and the hardworking individuals involved
in its colorful history. In 1905, Anna Satorie took on the daunting role of
sole owner of her family homestead. Illness
and the fabricated death of bootleggers, are just some of the stories recounted by Geiger with spirited
storytelling. His book covers the sorrows and successes of six generations of
farmers.
A 1995 graduate of UW-Madison,
Geiger was lead editor of Hoards’ Dairyman. He co-edited the
World Dairy Expo’s 50th anniversary book. His knowledge and
accomplishments have made him a much-requested speaker, having given
presentations both nationally and internationally.
Book will be available for purchase
and signing at LaDeDa. Anyone wanting a
signed copy but unable to attend can
reserve a book with prepayment by calling LaDeDa at 682.7040.
Steve Rogstad, author of Lincoln Among the Badgers
will visit LaDeDa Books for a meet and greet signing, Saturday, June 19,
10:30-12:00. Rogstad’s work chronicles
the visits Abraham and Mary Lincoln made to the Badger State. Dr. Wayne C.
Temple, former Deputy Director of Illinois State Archives says of Rogstad, “This very talented historian has devoted his
entire adulthood to photographing and writing about the Lincolns in the Badger
State. If you enjoy new and important
Lincolniana that is superbly told and well-illustrated, do not miss this
wonderful work by a dedicated and thorough explorer, who uncovers new facts in
hidden sources.”
Aside from the visits, Wisconsin has a myriad of unique
and unusual monuments, memorials, and markers which honor the Lincolns. Most of
them are concentrated in southern Wisconsin, although some unusual tributes can
be found in the North Woods region. The monuments in the book have their own
distinctive and sometimes bizarre history, including donors who died
prematurely, a sculptor who demolished his statue with an axe, a statue with a
plaque that misidentifies its creator, and a Will that was contested all the
way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to prevent funds from being used to create a
Lincoln monument. Also included are stories of five Wisconsinites who knew the
Lincolns or were connected in some way with the president’s assassination or
elaborate funeral pageant.
Steven K. Rogstad
is a Racine, Wisconsin, native, who is known nationally for his scholarship in
Lincoln studies. He has served as Secretary & Editor for the Lincoln
Fellowship of Wisconsin, and Review Editor for the Lincoln Herald (Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, TN). In
2008, he was appointed Secretary of the Wisconsin Lincoln Bicentennial
Commission by Governor Jim Doyle, and served on the commission’s Markers &
Memorials Committee. Rogstad has edited and introduced several volumes,
authored numerous articles and reviews, coordinated restoration projects for
Lincoln statuary in Wisconsin, and delivered dedicatory addresses for Lincoln
monuments in Racine and Burlington. He is the former board chair for Racine
Heritage Museum, and past board president for Preservation Racine.
