A Novel Memory Palace by Author Eli Brown
Eli Brown, A Novel Memory Palace A Novel Memory Palace by Author Eli Brown Oct. 16, 2026 12:15 p.m.
Eli Brown's culinary pirate novel, CINNAMON AND GUNPOWDER, was called "...Babette’s Feast meets Pirates of the Caribbean!” by Library Journal. It was a finalist for the California Book Award, a San Francisco Public Library One-City One-Book selection, and an NPR Book Review Staff Pick.
His recent duology for middle-school readers, Oddity and Mooncussers, offers a gritty fantasy world of magical objects set in an alternate nineteenth century America. 
In addition to writing, Brown has worked as a groundskeeper, a massage therapist and, most recently, a stay-at-home dad. 
A Yaddo fellow and featured reader at Litquake, Brown earned his MFA from Mills college. He lives with his family in Sebastopol where the squirrels bury acorns in his garden and cats bury worse.

 “Looking back 50 years to Sonoma County’s Running Fence” by Jennifer Bethke
Jennifer Bethke, museum curator - Running Fence “Looking back 50 years to Sonoma County’s Running Fence” by Jennifer Bethke Oct. 30, 2026 12:15 p.m.

What do you know about Sonoma County’s Running Fence, the controversial art installation project that traversed 26 miles of Sonoma and Marin county open lands in 1976? Maybe you were there, or maybe you were one of the hundreds of volunteers. But, more likely, you probably only know a few small parts of the fading history of the project, now 50 years in the past.

At Sebastopol Rotary’s Oct. 30 meeting, Sonoma County Museum’s art curator, Jennifer Bethke will share the history of the Christo Running Fence, which is now the subject of a museum show that ends in early November.

Bethke, has a PhD in art history from UC Berkeley and has worked on many art and history research projects in places as far apart as Alaska and Rome Italy.

The Oct. 30 program promises to be one not to miss.

David Gill has been the administrative coordinator of the Sebastopol Area Time Bank (www.sebastopoltimebank.org) for five years.  He gets paid in time bank currency – hours! – and has accumulated more than he could spend in a few lifetimes!  He has been a downtown Sebastopol homeowner for over 13 years and, in addition to the time bank, serves on the coordinating council of Sebastopol Village and in the leadership of the Sebastopol Area Nonprofit Collaborative.  He has spent his professional career in healthcare administration and currently specializes in licensing the possession and use of radioactive materials in medicine.  He promises not to make them part of his Rotary presentation.  He is pleased to present the time bank to Sebastopol Rotary, another great local organization of neighbors helping their neighbors.
