SUMMARY:Soroptimist program on human trafficking awareness and prevention
DESCRIPTION:Children as young as eight years-old can fall victim to trafficking\, and the average age is just thirteen.

SUMMARY:San Diego Writers Festival
DESCRIPTION:The San Diego Writers Festival is a free\, community-based event designed to celebrate the power of writing and storytelling.  \nStories transform both the teller and the listener. In whatever form you welcome a story into your life—by reading a memoir or graphic novel\, listening to a podcast or a poetry reading\, watching a movie or play or going to the theater—stories are our pathways\, our links\, our bridges to one another. \nAt the San Diego Writers Festival\, we ask two important questions: What if there was a place where all stories could be nurtured and heard? What if we opened up our community to stories from those who have been under-served\, disenfranchised\, or neglected? \nWe invite you to join us on our mission to hear one another\, be educated and illuminated by one another\, and inspired by one another—one story at a time. \nJodi Picoult headlines 7th annual San Diego Writers Festival in Coronado

SUMMARY:CIFF Educational Classic Film "The Maltese Falcon" (1941)
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Island Film Festival presents Director John Huston’s 1941 Best Picture Oscar Nominated feature film\, “The Maltese Falcon” on Sunday\, April 12\, 1:30-4 pm in the Coronado Public Library Ruby Room. The screening is free and open to the public of all ages and is part of this year’s Educational Classic Film Series – “The Art of Adaptation.” \n \nJohn Huston’s Landmark Film Noir Classic: “The Maltese Falcon” \nAs darkness descended on Europe in the late 1930s and early ’40s\, a new movie genre\, (in retrospect) labeled Film Noir\, emerged from Hollywood. It featured stories of the darker side of human nature and fatalistic themes of murder\, crime\, double-dealing\, and corruption. The moral ambiguity of the genre appealed to the anxieties of audiences facing a world seemingly gone mad. \nWarner Brothers long held the film rights to Dashiell Hammett’s 1930 novel\, The Maltese Falcon\, based on a story he serialized in the pulp fiction magazine Black Mask. The Warners produced a notorious pre-code version in 1931 and a later comedic version in 1936\, “Satan Met a Lady\,” starring Bette Davis that was a notable flop. \nThe Warners offered a young\, promising screenwriter\, John Huston\, the opportunity to adapt and remake Hammett’s story for a third time as his directorial debut. The result: perhaps the most enduring\, admired\, and imitated detective mystery movie ever made. “The Maltese Falcon” is a definite must-see in the American film canon. \nIn addition to the story’s appeal with audiences\, Bogart’s “hard-boiled” detective\, Sam Spade\, proved his breakout role as a leading man. The supporting ensemble cast includes an exceptional roster of Warner Brothers Golden Age contract talent: Mary Astor as the story’s femme fatale\, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre in their first of many screen pairings and the inimitable Elisha Cook\, Jr. as Greenstreet’s gun-toting “boy” who Bogart’s Sam Spade continually delights in humiliating. \nFeaturing a roster of menacing\, murderous\, deceitful characters\, and crackling\, quotable dialogue\, all wrapped in Arthur Edeson’s shadowy cinematography\, its themes of betrayal\, greed\, and cynicism make “The Maltese Falcon” the quintessential example of the Film Noir genre. Don’t miss this timeless 1941 Warner Brothers Classic! \nThis screening is free and open to the public of all ages.

Afterward\, he built a long career in San Diego’s electronic component industry until retiring in 2016. \nHis lifelong fascination with railroads began with a few old maps and led him to join the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in 1984. What started as a volunteer cataloging project became a decades-long commitment as Research Director\, Librarian\, and Archivist. Bruce has lectured widely\, taught railroad history at Cuyamaca College\, and helped restore trains\, tracks\, and facilities. \nToday\, he continues collecting material for a book on San Diego’s early railroad history while hiking\, researching\, and preserving the region’s rail heritage for future generations. \nLEARN MORE HERE: \nWine & Lecture: San Diego’s South Bay Railroads

SUMMARY:2026 Preservation Symposium
DESCRIPTION:May is National Preservation Month\, and Coronado is joining communities nationwide in celebrating our unique heritage. We’re fortunate to have so many meaningful historic places\, and we’ll be highlighting them throughout the month. Our celebrations include a City Council Proclamation\, the presentation of plaques to recently designated historic homes\, and the beloved Historic Home Tour on Mother’s Day. \nThe celebrations will culminate in the annual Preservation Symposium on Thursday\, May 21\, at 5:30 pm. A wine and cheese reception will be followed by the the program at 6 pm. \nThis year’s program features a documentary screening and discussion with filmmaker Scott Goldstein. \nThe evening will address the unforgettable impact of loss in architectural history\, highlighted by the demolition of the iconic Maslon House in Rancho Mirage — designed by Richard Neutra in 1962. The razing of this modernist masterpiece in 2002 caused international outrage and directly inspired a new preservation movement in the region. \nFilmmaker Scott Goldstein will join us to present a portion of his documentary work and share his intensely personal connection to this landmark structure. Through interviews and archival footage\, the film brings the house back to life\, exploring the home\, the Maslon family\, and their incredible collection of modern art. \nGoldstein will recount his powerful story of returning to the desert only to find the magnificent home gone\, replaced by a structure that “just wasn’t the same.” Join us to hear this powerful\, firsthand account\, see related footage\, and discuss why architectural preservation matters and how the loss of history shapes the present.
