• RECOVERY: A Concert with Rachel Pollack   On Saturday, July 31st, FLV school parent Rachel Pollack will share her singing and songwriting talents with the community in this deeply personal evening entitled RECOVERY. A mix of well-known and original songs, the concert will retrace the steps of her journey through addiction, recovery, and ultimately, new life. Rachel's heartbroken voice and her grace-filled stillness are a rare gift. For those of you who have walked this road--or alongside someone who has--this evening promises to be a true blessing.
  The concert will start at 8:00pm and go for about an hour. There will be a reception afterwards in Smith Hall. $20.00 suggested donation at the door. At Rachel's request, all proceeds will go to First Lutheran School.   Flyer (pdf)
