Title: A Guide to Russian Adoption: Professional Counseling and Personal Insights
Alisa Karwowski and her husband Tim adopted two children from an orphanage in St. Petersburg, Russia.  She has written a book about the experience.  “The personal story of our journey to our children, and their lives now, is testament to the success of this process and moreover to the potential of each of these beautiful children awaiting their turn to come home”. This 12 minute video is set to music and runs about twelve minutes long. The film carries the viewer through the journey of our two adoptions via the use of photographs of our first meeting with our children inside Baby House # 6 in St. Petersburg, Russia up to their lives with us now.  Alisa is a local author and teacher at St. Thomas Aquinas.  Alisa will be available to discuss the adoption process.

1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
Title: All Life Is - The Making Of Gracious
Subtitle: One Band. Three Musicians. Infinite Possibilities.

Synopsis: Without words to define, Henderson is life.  Born amidst a sphere of influence, Henderson stands alone on its own ground, unguided by persuasion or commonplace.  Though, its personality familiar and character well known, Henderson surprises and misleads even those who are best of kin. Where words fail, music speaks; Henderson speaks to all who listen.

Title: The Norman Rockwell Code
Synopsis: When the curator of The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, is murdered, the police desperately need help with the investigation. Langford Fife, Professor of Symbology at Stockbridge Community College and the son of a certain Deputy Sheriff from Mayberry, North Carolina, is called to the scene. He may have received his degree in symbology through a correspondence course but he's "just as competent as those high-falutin' professors from Harvard with their fancy sheepskins from accredited schools."
With cryptologist Sopha Poisson of the Quebec Secret Service, Langford sets out to uncover the clues hidden in the paintings of Norman Rockwell... clues which will lead them to a secret society, a legendary bloodline and a battle with sinister forces.
