n 
\
n Psychology of Music
\n \;
\n Dr. Richardson begins by introducing the psycholo
gical and neurological foundations of music percep
tion\, including how the brain processes rhythm\,
melody\, and harmony. She discusses the role of ke
y brain structures involved in emotional regulatio
n\, memory\, and reward\, helping to explain why m
usic can evoke strong emotional responses and vivi
d autobiographical memories.
\n \;
\
n The talk also explores the impact of music on
mood and mental health. Participants will learn h
ow music can be used to regulate emotions\, reduce
stress\, and enhance focus and motivation. Drawin
g from music therapy research and practice\, Dr. R
ichardson provides real-world examples of how musi
c-based interventions support individuals physical
and mental wellness.
\n \;
\n In
addition\, the presentation examines the social a
nd cultural dimensions of music\, including how it
fosters identity\, connection\, and group cohesio
n. Dr. Richardson highlights how music is used acr
oss cultures and contexts&mdash\;from personal pla
ylists to collective experiences like concerts and
rituals&mdash\;to strengthen bonds and create sha
red meaning.
\n \;
\n Throughout
the talk\, Dr. Richardson integrates scientific re
search with practical applications\, encouraging p
articipants to think critically about their own mu
sical experiences. Attendees will leave with a dee
per understanding of how music shapes thoughts\, f
eelings\, and behavior\, as well as strategies for
using music intentionally to support well-being\,
learning\, and connection in their daily lives.\n

SUMMARY:Sunday Speaker: Fight for A Living Wage - Bill Mea
de
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
Sunday Speaker Topic: Figh
t for A Living Wage - Bill Meade
\n
\;
\n
Description:
\n
My tal
k will cover our Mission and focus at FFLW. I will
also cover recent trends in income inequality. I
will cover our pledge for a living wage and human
dignity. I will talk to our elected official accou
ntability program and rollout. I will highlight wh
y we should forget about a living wage and focus o
n a living wage.
\n
Bio:
\n
After graduating from Arizona State Univers
ity he was self-employed as a political consultant
in Arizona. In 1980 Mr. Meade become the youngest
person to manage a statewide campaign in the hist
ory of Arizona.
\n
Mr. Meade spent twenty ye
ars in senior level positions with two of the worl
d&rsquo\;s leading financial service companies &nd
ash\; Citicorp and American Express. Mr. Meade was
recruited out of Citicorp to join American Expres
s and lead the business development effort when Am
erican Express made the decision to enter the cons
umer lending business and add revolving credit pro
ducts to the company&rsquo\;s portfolio.
\n
Mr. Meade has significant experience in back-offic
e operations and has managed every financial servi
ce back-office function directly over his career.
He was a critical member of the American Express r
eengineering efforts in the mid 90&rsquo\;s and le
ad the reengineering effort for the primary custom
er service functions. In addition\, he spent three
years as General Manager for the Benelux countrie
s for American Express and was based in Amsterdam\
, Netherlands.
\n
Like many others Mr. Meade
left to join the internet boom in the late 90&rdq
uo\;s. He joined Webmiles a frequency loyalty comp
any based in Utah\, as Chief Executive Officer in
1999.
\n
In 2001 Mr. Meade was recruited awa
y from Webmiles and joined Startek\, Inc. as Chief
Executive Officer where he served until the sprin
g of 2005. During his tenure as CEO of Startek he
led the transition of the company from a supply ch
ain management to a more diverse business process
outsourcing company. While at Startek the company
achieved record revenues\, profits and earnings pe
r share.
\n
In 2004 as CEO of Startek Mr. Me
ade was given the Allay Award by the Women&rsquo\;
s Vision Foundation of Colorado which is given ann
ually to the CEO demonstrating a commitment to wom
en in the workplace. Over a 30-year career Mr. Mea
de has consistently demonstrated the ability to de
velop sound strategic plans and drive thorough exe
cution with the result being significant top-line
growth while reducing operating expenses and incre
asing profitability.
\n
In late 2023 Mr. Mea
de decided to devote the remaining time he has in
his 4th quarter of life to addressing the issue of
income inequality in America. He founded Fight fo
r a Living Wage which is a nonpartisan nonprofit o
rganization striving to build a national grassroot
s movement to ensure every full time American can
live with dignity and earn a living wage. Fight fo
r a Living wage is an all-volunteer organization\,
and Mr. Meade is the Executive Director.

It takes 500-700 plastic bags to comple
te a sleeping mat that measures 6 feet by 2.5 feet
. These are very useful items for people who must
sleep on the ground. Come and get started
this month!
\n
\n - Bring clean and dry plasti
c grocery bags to any events you attend a
t the Humanist Community Center. The bags we can u
se are the ones you get a the grocery store check
out.
\n - Make plarn (plast
ic yarn) from plastic bags. This is an easy first
step in starting a mat and anyone can do it\, even
if you don't want to crochet! You can make balls
of plarn with the group or at home and pass them a
long to the people who crochet.
\n - Crochet the plarn into mats. Using a 10mm or 11mm crochet hook is recomme
nded for this project\, so if you have one\, pleas
e bring it along! Hooks are available to use or pu
rchase for those who don't have one. If any previo
us class attendees have finished or partially done
mats\, please bring them to drop off or continue
working on.
\n
\n
Ask abo
ut other fabric craft activities\, such as heat re
lief bandanas and water bottle koozies\, that you
can learn to make too! You can even make a plarn m
at using a weaving loom!
\n
Families are encouraged to attend! C
hildren can contribute to the project by learning
and working as a team with their grownups.
\n <
p class="mb-4">The completed mats and other projec
ts\, along with hygiene items and needed essential
s\, are donated to the Human Services Campus every
month.
Thank you for giving to our neighb
ors in need.\n
Here is a video explaining the projec
t from beginning to end.
\n
There are different ways to hold the crochet hook
and different stiches you can use. It's just a ma
tter of comfort and control. If you are learning t
o crochet\, many videos are available to get you s
tarted. You can also learn several different techn
iques from the teachers in the group. We l
ook forward to seeing you there!
\n
Here is a video t
utorial on single crochet stitch for beginners.
\n
Feel free to bring your be
verage of choice\, and if you'd like to share some
snacks\, it's always appreciated!

It takes 500-700 plastic bags to comple
te a sleeping mat that measures 6 feet by 2.5 feet
. These are very useful items for people who must
sleep on the ground. Come and get started
this month!
\n
\n - Bring clean and dry plasti
c grocery bags to any events you attend a
t the Humanist Community Center. The bags we can u
se are the ones you get a the grocery store check
out.
\n - Make plarn (plast
ic yarn) from plastic bags. This is an easy first
step in starting a mat and anyone can do it\, even
if you don't want to crochet! You can make balls
of plarn with the group or at home and pass them a
long to the people who crochet.
\n - Crochet the plarn into mats. Using a 10mm or 11mm crochet hook is recomme
nded for this project\, so if you have one\, pleas
e bring it along! Hooks are available to use or pu
rchase for those who don't have one. If any previo
us class attendees have finished or partially done
mats\, please bring them to drop off or continue
working on.
\n
\n
Ask abo
ut other fabric craft activities\, such as heat re
lief bandanas and water bottle koozies\, that you
can learn to make too! You can even make a plarn m
at using a weaving loom!
\n
Families are encouraged to attend! C
hildren can contribute to the project by learning
and working as a team with their grownups.
\n <
p class="mb-4">The completed mats and other projec
ts\, along with hygiene items and needed essential
s\, are donated to the Human Services Campus every
month.
Thank you for giving to our neighb
ors in need.\n
Here is a video explaining the projec
t from beginning to end.
\n
There are different ways to hold the crochet hook
and different stiches you can use. It's just a ma
tter of comfort and control. If you are learning t
o crochet\, many videos are available to get you s
tarted. You can also learn several different techn
iques from the teachers in the group. We l
ook forward to seeing you there!
\n
Here is a video t
utorial on single crochet stitch for beginners.
\n
Feel free to bring your be
verage of choice\, and if you'd like to share some
snacks\, it's always appreciated!

It takes 500-700 plastic bags to comple
te a sleeping mat that measures 6 feet by 2.5 feet
. These are very useful items for people who must
sleep on the ground. Come and get started
this month!
\n
\n - Bring clean and dry plasti
c grocery bags to any events you attend a
t the Humanist Community Center. The bags we can u
se are the ones you get a the grocery store check
out.
\n - Make plarn (plast
ic yarn) from plastic bags. This is an easy first
step in starting a mat and anyone can do it\, even
if you don't want to crochet! You can make balls
of plarn with the group or at home and pass them a
long to the people who crochet.
\n - Crochet the plarn into mats. Using a 10mm or 11mm crochet hook is recomme
nded for this project\, so if you have one\, pleas
e bring it along! Hooks are available to use or pu
rchase for those who don't have one. If any previo
us class attendees have finished or partially done
mats\, please bring them to drop off or continue
working on.
\n
\n
Ask abo
ut other fabric craft activities\, such as heat re
lief bandanas and water bottle koozies\, that you
can learn to make too! You can even make a plarn m
at using a weaving loom!
\n
Families are encouraged to attend! C
hildren can contribute to the project by learning
and working as a team with their grownups.
\n <
p class="mb-4">The completed mats and other projec
ts\, along with hygiene items and needed essential
s\, are donated to the Human Services Campus every
month.
Thank you for giving to our neighb
ors in need.\n
Here is a video explaining the projec
t from beginning to end.
\n
There are different ways to hold the crochet hook
and different stiches you can use. It's just a ma
tter of comfort and control. If you are learning t
o crochet\, many videos are available to get you s
tarted. You can also learn several different techn
iques from the teachers in the group. We l
ook forward to seeing you there!
\n
Here is a video t
utorial on single crochet stitch for beginners.
\n
Feel free to bring your be
verage of choice\, and if you'd like to share some
snacks\, it's always appreciated!

It takes 500-700 plastic bags to comple
te a sleeping mat that measures 6 feet by 2.5 feet
. These are very useful items for people who must
sleep on the ground. Come and get started
this month!
\n
\n - Bring clean and dry plasti
c grocery bags to any events you attend a
t the Humanist Community Center. The bags we can u
se are the ones you get a the grocery store check
out.
\n - Make plarn (plast
ic yarn) from plastic bags. This is an easy first
step in starting a mat and anyone can do it\, even
if you don't want to crochet! You can make balls
of plarn with the group or at home and pass them a
long to the people who crochet.
\n - Crochet the plarn into mats. Using a 10mm or 11mm crochet hook is recomme
nded for this project\, so if you have one\, pleas
e bring it along! Hooks are available to use or pu
rchase for those who don't have one. If any previo
us class attendees have finished or partially done
mats\, please bring them to drop off or continue
working on.
\n
\n
Ask abo
ut other fabric craft activities\, such as heat re
lief bandanas and water bottle koozies\, that you
can learn to make too! You can even make a plarn m
at using a weaving loom!
\n
Families are encouraged to attend! C
hildren can contribute to the project by learning
and working as a team with their grownups.
\n <
p class="mb-4">The completed mats and other projec
ts\, along with hygiene items and needed essential
s\, are donated to the Human Services Campus every
month.
Thank you for giving to our neighb
ors in need.\n
Here is a video explaining the projec
t from beginning to end.
\n
There are different ways to hold the crochet hook
and different stiches you can use. It's just a ma
tter of comfort and control. If you are learning t
o crochet\, many videos are available to get you s
tarted. You can also learn several different techn
iques from the teachers in the group. We l
ook forward to seeing you there!
\n
Here is a video t
utorial on single crochet stitch for beginners.
\n
Feel free to bring your be
verage of choice\, and if you'd like to share some
snacks\, it's always appreciated!

It takes 500-700 plastic bags to comple
te a sleeping mat that measures 6 feet by 2.5 feet
. These are very useful items for people who must
sleep on the ground. Come and get started
this month!
\n
\n - Bring clean and dry plasti
c grocery bags to any events you attend a
t the Humanist Community Center. The bags we can u
se are the ones you get a the grocery store check
out.
\n - Make plarn (plast
ic yarn) from plastic bags. This is an easy first
step in starting a mat and anyone can do it\, even
if you don't want to crochet! You can make balls
of plarn with the group or at home and pass them a
long to the people who crochet.
\n - Crochet the plarn into mats. Using a 10mm or 11mm crochet hook is recomme
nded for this project\, so if you have one\, pleas
e bring it along! Hooks are available to use or pu
rchase for those who don't have one. If any previo
us class attendees have finished or partially done
mats\, please bring them to drop off or continue
working on.
\n
\n
Ask abo
ut other fabric craft activities\, such as heat re
lief bandanas and water bottle koozies\, that you
can learn to make too! You can even make a plarn m
at using a weaving loom!
\n
Families are encouraged to attend! C
hildren can contribute to the project by learning
and working as a team with their grownups.
\n <
p class="mb-4">The completed mats and other projec
ts\, along with hygiene items and needed essential
s\, are donated to the Human Services Campus every
month.
Thank you for giving to our neighb
ors in need.\n
Here is a video explaining the projec
t from beginning to end.
\n
There are different ways to hold the crochet hook
and different stiches you can use. It's just a ma
tter of comfort and control. If you are learning t
o crochet\, many videos are available to get you s
tarted. You can also learn several different techn
iques from the teachers in the group. We l
ook forward to seeing you there!
\n
Here is a video t
utorial on single crochet stitch for beginners.
\n
Feel free to bring your be
verage of choice\, and if you'd like to share some
snacks\, it's always appreciated!

It takes 500-700 plastic bags to comple
te a sleeping mat that measures 6 feet by 2.5 feet
. These are very useful items for people who must
sleep on the ground. Come and get started
this month!
\n
\n - Bring clean and dry plasti
c grocery bags to any events you attend a
t the Humanist Community Center. The bags we can u
se are the ones you get a the grocery store check
out.
\n - Make plarn (plast
ic yarn) from plastic bags. This is an easy first
step in starting a mat and anyone can do it\, even
if you don't want to crochet! You can make balls
of plarn with the group or at home and pass them a
long to the people who crochet.
\n - Crochet the plarn into mats. Using a 10mm or 11mm crochet hook is recomme
nded for this project\, so if you have one\, pleas
e bring it along! Hooks are available to use or pu
rchase for those who don't have one. If any previo
us class attendees have finished or partially done
mats\, please bring them to drop off or continue
working on.
\n
\n
Ask abo
ut other fabric craft activities\, such as heat re
lief bandanas and water bottle koozies\, that you
can learn to make too! You can even make a plarn m
at using a weaving loom!
\n
Families are encouraged to attend! C
hildren can contribute to the project by learning
and working as a team with their grownups.
\n <
p class="mb-4">The completed mats and other projec
ts\, along with hygiene items and needed essential
s\, are donated to the Human Services Campus every
month.
Thank you for giving to our neighb
ors in need.\n
Here is a video explaining the projec
t from beginning to end.
\n
There are different ways to hold the crochet hook
and different stiches you can use. It's just a ma
tter of comfort and control. If you are learning t
o crochet\, many videos are available to get you s
tarted. You can also learn several different techn
iques from the teachers in the group. We l
ook forward to seeing you there!
\n
Here is a video t
utorial on single crochet stitch for beginners.
\n
Feel free to bring your be
verage of choice\, and if you'd like to share some
snacks\, it's always appreciated!

It takes 500-700 plastic bags to comple
te a sleeping mat that measures 6 feet by 2.5 feet
. These are very useful items for people who must
sleep on the ground. Come and get started
this month!
\n
\n - Bring clean and dry plasti
c grocery bags to any events you attend a
t the Humanist Community Center. The bags we can u
se are the ones you get a the grocery store check
out.
\n - Make plarn (plast
ic yarn) from plastic bags. This is an easy first
step in starting a mat and anyone can do it\, even
if you don't want to crochet! You can make balls
of plarn with the group or at home and pass them a
long to the people who crochet.
\n - Crochet the plarn into mats. Using a 10mm or 11mm crochet hook is recomme
nded for this project\, so if you have one\, pleas
e bring it along! Hooks are available to use or pu
rchase for those who don't have one. If any previo
us class attendees have finished or partially done
mats\, please bring them to drop off or continue
working on.
\n
\n
Ask abo
ut other fabric craft activities\, such as heat re
lief bandanas and water bottle koozies\, that you
can learn to make too! You can even make a plarn m
at using a weaving loom!
\n
Families are encouraged to attend! C
hildren can contribute to the project by learning
and working as a team with their grownups.
\n <
p class="mb-4">The completed mats and other projec
ts\, along with hygiene items and needed essential
s\, are donated to the Human Services Campus every
month.
Thank you for giving to our neighb
ors in need.\n
Here is a video explaining the projec
t from beginning to end.
\n
There are different ways to hold the crochet hook
and different stiches you can use. It's just a ma
tter of comfort and control. If you are learning t
o crochet\, many videos are available to get you s
tarted. You can also learn several different techn
iques from the teachers in the group. We l
ook forward to seeing you there!
\n
Here is a video t
utorial on single crochet stitch for beginners.
\n
Feel free to bring your be
verage of choice\, and if you'd like to share some
snacks\, it's always appreciated!
