Exhibit Opening Reception & Lecture: Bitter Sweet with Kitty Morse
2025-11-06 17:30 - 19:00 | CA
CHA is proud to announce the opening of its newest WWII exhibit. In honor of this exhibit, join us Thursday, November 6, for an exhibit opening reception and lecture featuring author Kitty Morse. Kitty will discuss her new book, Bitter Sweet: A Wartime Journal and Heirloom Recipes from Occupied France. This book was written after she discovered her great-grandfather’s journal chronicling the advance of the Germans in Le Grand Est (Alsace-Lorraine) between April and December 1940, and two notebooks filled with recipes written in her great-grandmother’s hand in a suitcase left to her by her mother. Bitter Sweet takes place in and around her mother’s birthplace, Châlons-sur-Marne (now Châlons-en-Champagne). Blanche Lévy-Neymarck, Morse’s maternal great-grandmother, died at Auschwitz in 1944 along with one of her daughters and her son-in-law. Blanche’s husband Prosper, an army surgeon in WWI, was twice the recipient of the Légion d’Honneur. This book is not just the story of a family torn apart by war, but it also features 70 unique recipes that show the rich history of a family.
On Thursday, November 6, a wine & cheese reception at 5:30 pm will be followed by the lecture from 6 to 7 pm.
Tickets are available now
Member ($15.00 each)
Non-Member ($20.00 each)

About the Speaker: Award-winning author Kitty Morse was born in Casablanca, Morocco, to a French mother and a British father. She emigrated to the United States at the age of 17. While studying for her master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Kitty catered Moroccan diffas, or banquets, and went on to teach the intricacies of Moroccan cuisine in cooking schools and department stores nationwide. In June 2002, she conducted a Culinary Concert on Moroccan culture and cuisine hosted by Julia Child, as a benefit for the Harry Bell Foundation of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Kitty’s books have been translated into French, German, Polish, and Czech. In 1984 (and for the next 25 years) she initiated annual gastronomic tours to Morocco that included culinary demonstrations in her family home, a Moorish riad south of Casablanca. Her monthly e-newsletter, The Kasbah Chronicles, in French and in English, is now in its 12th year of circulation.

This show is written expressly for children and is 45-50 minutes in length.

A Very Special Christmas Tree
Deep in the forest where the fairies dwell, a little pine tree grows among her lush and lofty neighbors. Her branches droop, her needles are sparse, and every other tree towers above her. Her greatest wish is to grow taller and stronger, so she will be chosen to stand in a special place for the Christmas season.
After every other tree finds a glorious home for the holiday, the little tree is disappointed to find where she has been taken.
But with the help of a kind man and a wise angel, the little tree discovers the true spirit of Christmas and that her greatest wish has come true.

Delta Beach before the 2022 cleanup.
Emerald Keepers will be helping to clean the northern end of Delta Beach in support of Naval Base Coronado’s Environmental Team.
Delta Beach, on the bay side of Silver Strand, just south of the Naval Amphibious Base is on Navy land. This stretch of coastline has been designated as a critical habitat for the western snowy plover and the California least tern. The western snowy plover is listed as threatened and the California least tern is listed as endangered under the Federal Endangered Species Act.
This cleanup has been scheduled after least tern nesting season, which runs April through September. This is an opportunity to see a beach normally closed to human activity, while cleaning up a habitat for vulnerable species and keeping trash out of the San Diego Bay to protect marine animals.
Directions: From Coronado, head south on state Route 75 for 2.4 miles. Make a U-turn at the Fiddlers Cove Marina and RV park (Note: There is no sign or traffic light, but it’s the first left turn lane south of the Naval Amphibious Base). Head back north for about 1 mile and look for the Emerald Keepers flag by the north gate for Delta Beach. Drive carefully across the bike path and park on the sand inside the fence line.
Bring buckets, gloves, and pickers if you have them. Questions? Contact info@emeraldkeepers.org

Autumn Concert Series: Robert Wetzel
2025-10-31 13:00 - 14:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Library’s Autumn Concert Series takes place on Fridays from September 5 to October 31. Each concert will begin at 1 pm in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. On October 31, we will have Robert Wetzel on guitar, performing Guitar Fantasy Through the Centuries.

Robert Wetzel was born of Dutch and Indonesian lineage. He started playing piano at age eight, acoustic steel-string guitar and electric guitar at age eleven, and then he began serious study of the classical guitar at age fifteen which changed his life forever. In 1972, he began several years of private classical guitar studies with Spanish guitar virtuoso, Angel Romero, followed later by private guitar studies with guitar maestros Celedonio Romero, Pepe Romero and Celin Romero. He still considers himself a disciple of the Romero family of master guitarists, and often states, “the master-disciple relationship is a lifelong affair.” Wetzel frequently performs as a soloist and with orchestral and chamber music groups. He is also the founding member of the award-winning Odeum Guitar Duo, that was established in 1994 with his well-known guitarist duo colleague, Fred Benedetti. Their second Odeum Guitar Duo CD, entitled Forgotten Romance, was officially chosen by NASA in 2016 to fly aboard the final flight of the United States Space Shuttle, THE ENDEAVOR, Mission STS-134, to the International Space Station launched on May 16, 2011, and the CD travelled there and back with additional orbits around the earth to complete mission objectives for a total of 6.5 million miles! Robert resides in San Diego County, where over the years he has been or presently is teaching the art of playing the guitar while on the musical faculties of Point Loma Nazarene University, University of California San Diego Extended Studies, SDSU, Cuyamaca College, Grossmont College, Southwestern College, Palomar College and Mesa College. He also teaches private guitar students online all over the world via video platforms. FANFARE Magazine described his guitar playing as, “…truly magical…realized the piece’s inherent fire…projection of instrumental color…delightful…”

CoSA DigArts Horror Nights: Whispers in the Woods
2025-10-30 18:00 - 19:30, 2025-10-28 18:00 - 19:30 | Black Box Theater 650 D Avenue, Coronado, 92118
It screens and causes screams at the Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Digital Arts Conservatory’s Horror Nights taking place on Tuesday, October 28 and Thursday, October 30. For two chilling and thrilling nights, students will showcase their A+ work focused on the theme: Creepy Campfire stories – ranging from ghost stories to monster and stalker lore, it’s all happening at the Coronado High School Black Box Theatre, 650 D Avenue from 6 to 7:30 pm each night.
To prepare for the project, students chose a campfire story to represent their form of digital art that includes their unconventional storytelling and suspenseful audience appeal. Students explored how campfire stories can be brought to life through creativity and horror.
“Students are excited to test their skills in a horror genre,” said Anna Woerman, CoSA DigArts Conservatory Director and Teacher. “They love horror and retelling the genre in their own way. Students get to be creative within the theme and they like to push the limits, within a PG-13 appropriateness,” added Woerman.
Horror Nights, now in its 16th year, is a much-loved DigArts tradition. Since horror night occurs in October, students are tasked with beginning their projects as soon as they start school. They begin with sketches and brainstorming, then they storyboard, film, animate, or begin to design in Illustrator or Photoshop in anticipation of their show October 28 and 30.
The event is recommended for middle school aged children or older. Concessions will also be available for sale.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, staff, seniors, and military and are on sale now at cosasandiego.com or can be purchased prior to each performance.

CIFF Classic Film "The Shining" (1980)
2025-10-29 17:30 | Village Theatre, 820 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Scary Movie Coming Your Way October 29

So you say you want a really scary movie for Halloween? Well, do we have the perfect one for you! Join Coronado Island Film Festival if you dare for the 1980 psychological horror/ thriller “The Shining” on Wednesday, October 29, at Coronado’s Village Theatre. The work of the always difficult but groundbreaking director Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999), the film stars Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd and Scatman Crothers. Written by Kubrick and Diane Johnson, it’s based on the 1977 novel by Stephen King and was largely unappreciated when it first came out. It was actually considered a “flop!” Since that time, however, “The Shining” has been reappraised by critics and audiences alike and is now considered to be a horror masterpiece and the second-best movie of 1980 (after “Raging Bull”). Doors open at 5 p.m. for complimentary wine, followed by a vintage cartoon and the feature at 5:30. Tickets are $15 and are on sale now at coronadofilmfest.com.
Nicholson plays writer and recovering alcoholic Jack Torrence, who travels with his wife (Duvall) and young son (Lloyd) to accept a caretaker position at the remote Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rocky Mountains while it’s closed for the winter. Upon arrival, Jack is informed that a previous caretaker, Charles Grady, had killed his wife, two young daughters, and himself at the hotel a decade ago. Creepy enough for you? Well wait, there’s more! Son Danny, who it turns out is clairvoyant, starts having disturbing visions, Jack has writer’s block and violent outbursts and starts drinking again, then descends into complete insanity (as only Jack Nicholson can do).
Alert: THIS IS NOT A “FAMILY FILM”! But it IS a chilling, majestic piece of cinematic fright for the ages, brilliantly written, directed, shot and acted, and the perfect scary movie you asked for!
Next month: “Nobody’s Fool”, the comedy drama starring Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, and Jessica Tandy on Wednesday, November 26, the day before Thanksgiving. This is considered the ultimate “Thanksgiving movie.” Bring the fam. Tickets are on sale now.

In the meantime, we invite you to celebrate Ten Incredible Years of the Coronado Island Film Festival, November 5–9!
Experience over 130 films, from powerful documentaries to Oscar contenders, along with Tribute Awards, parties, and free screenings at the Coronado Public Library.

Stay for the games! There will be carnival booth games that bring back old-time fun. For the little ones, craft stations will be set up, so bring your spooky spirit and get ready to create a masterpiece. The autumn-themed booths and decorations will make you feel fall-fabulous. Stop by Coronado Coffee Company for a pumpkin spice latte and hot chocolate to complete the vibe, or stay for dinner at one of the unbeatable waterfront restaurants.
How you spend your time at the pumpkin patch is entirely up to you. Be sure to bring your camera for the seasonal photo-op setups with themed backdrops. One thing is certain: when you visit the Ferry Landing, you’ll leave with memories to cherish.
