Learn fun and interesting facts about water in Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum’s newest exhibit, “Water is Life - Present Day.” Attendees will see beautiful photos with stories about water in our landscape and have many opportunities to interact with various parts of our newest exhibit on water. This is the second year of a 3-year endeavor, telling the stories about water in the Mount Shasta area. Last year’s exhibit focused on the history of water through early 1900s. This second year, 2022, covers stories from 1900 to the present day. In the third year, we will have displays and stories about what the future might bring to water in our area.

Relationship Recovery is a community outreach of St Annes, which meets every Monday night. If you have suffered the ending of a significant relationship, or have had difficulty with relationships in general, we provide a safe and loving environment for you to begin the healing process and build a new life. We are non denominational and everyone over 18 is welcome. Because we have been meeting online during the pandemic and have been unable to bring new people into the program we are delighted to be opening again on April 4 for in person meetings. The meetings start at 7:00 PM but we suggest that you come a little early. Food and drink will be served and it will give us a chance to meet you and share more information about the program.
