SUMMARY:An Evening with Lee Asher
DESCRIPTION:Lee Asher\, founder of The Asher House\, delivers a powerful and inspiring talk about his journey to saving animals\, INSPIRING PEOPLE\, and finding his true purpose in life. A prominent figure in the animal rescue community — with a massive social media following of more than 12 million people across platforms — he has used his influence to raise awareness about animal welfare and inspire countless individuals to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. His tireless dedication to rescuing dogs\, cats\, horses\, and other animals has earned him a reputation as a true champion for the voiceless. \n\n\n\nWith his infectious energy\, humor\, and powerful storytelling\, Asher continues to touch hearts and change lives\, both human and animal alike. During his live show\, he takes his audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions as he recounts his struggles\, failures\, and ultimate triumphs in building one of the largest animal sanctuaries in the United States. Asher’s talk is a testament to the transformative power of pain and the importance of turning resentment into gratitude. He encourages the audience to embrace their own struggles and use them as a catalyst for positive change\, reminding them that they have the power to be the savior they seek in their own lives\, and never give up on their dreams\, no matter how challenging the journey may be. \n\n\n\n$2 from every ticket will be donated to Oaken Acres Wildlife Center in rural DeKalb County that is celebrating their 40th anniversary. Their mission as a nonprofit organization is to provide care for injured and orphaned wild animals with a focus on releasing them into their native habitat. To date\, they have taken in almost 30\,000 wild animals since opening in 1984. Their slogan tells their story — Every Life Matters!

SUMMARY:NIU STEAM STEM Café
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss these STEM Cafés this fall! \nSept. 11\, 2024 – Critical Minerals: The Hidden Materials Required for Green Energy \nMany of the technologies we need for green energy – such as advanced batteries and solar panels – are made from materials that exist in incredibly small proportions within the Earth. These critical metals and minerals are difficult to find\, and often we know little about their processes of formation. \nWe’re now facing urgent questions: do we have enough of these critical materials to support a shift to green energy sources in a timely manner? Or do we risk having found an answer to climate change but not being able to implement it in time? \nSpeaker: Mark R. Frank\, Ph.D. Professor and Chair\, NIU Department of Earth\, Atmosphere and Environment \nOct. 9\, 2024 – Supercomputing to Change the Course of American Science \nNov. 6\, 2024 – Artificial Intelligence in Sales and Pricing \nDec. 4\, 2024 – The Fast-Moving World of Electric Vehicles \nFind details and descriptions on the STEM Café webpage.

SUMMARY:Foreigner 4 Ever & Rok Brigade
DESCRIPTION:One night with two extraordinary tribute rock bands! \n\n\n\nForeigner 4 Ever is an American 7-piece rock band formed in 2017 as a tribute to the music of British/American rock band Foreigner and is based out of Milwaukee\, WI. The band is made up of veteran musicians with decades of experience entertaining rock music fans at premier venues\, festivals and concert events. The members of Foreigner 4 Ever\, having grown up with the music of Foreigner\, are proud to perform for you\, as they pay tribute to the music of Foreigner! \n\n\n\nRok Brigade is a Def Leppard tribute band formed in the summer of 2018 when six friends\, all in well-established working cover bands in the Chicago area came together to pay tribute to one of the most dominant party rock bands of the 1980s. They wanted to cover their favorite songs from the band’s extensive catalog\, focusing primarily on the first six albums. Def Leppard’s infectious melodies\, heavy guitars\, pounding drums and layered harmonies combine perfectly to give us some of the greatest rock anthems of all time! Reproducing the Def Leppard experience live with great sound\, look and energy is what makes Rok Brigade one of the best Def Leppard tribute bands today. Rock with Rok Brigade!
