SUMMARY:After Hours 21 & Up: Featuring Havana Motor Club
DESCRIPTION:After Hours 21 & Up: Featuring Havana Motor Club\nJoin us for a special screening of the award winning documentary!\nBring your own beer/wine\, no liquor please. Valid ID required. 21+ ONLY. \nPlease limit drinks to one bottle/one 6-pack per person! Drink responsibly. \nThe Cafe will be open for light refreshments\, snacks and beverages. \nWe will also have a few classic cars on display as well as a few food trucks on site including Sugar Love\, Taco Spot\, and Arepa.USA. \nSpace is limited so grab your Tickets right away!\nMore on Havana Motor Club:HAVANA MOTOR CLUB tells a personal\, character-driven story about Cuba’s vibrant community of underground drag racers and their quest to hold Cuba’s first official car race since shortly after the 1959 Revolution. It tackles how Cuba’s recent reforms — the owning of property\, allowance of small businesses\, and greater exchange between Cubans\, Cuban Americans\, tourists\, and other foreigners — have affected the lives of these racers and their families.\nOne racer enlists the help of a Cuban American patron in Miami to bring in parts for his modern Porsche. His main competitor is a renowned mechanic who uses ingenuity rather than resources to create a racing machine out of his 1955 Chevy Bel Air. Another racer ponders whether he will participate in the race or sell his motor — one that he recovered on the ocean floor from a ship used to smuggle Cubans off the island — in order to flee Cuba on a raft headed to Florida.\nMeanwhile\, the race itself is in jeopardy of coming to fruition due to factors ranging from its status as an elitist sport to the arrival of the Pope in Cuba.\nThrough the experiences of these racers and their community\, HAVANA MOTOR CLUB explores how Cuba is changing today.

SUMMARY:Book Release: Mobile and Havana - Sisters Across The Gulf
DESCRIPTION:A sumptuously illustrated and vivid account of the deep ties that bridge the histories and cultures of two colorful and storied port cities \nMobile and Havana: Sisters across the Gulf presents a beautifully written and illustrated survey of the many historic linkages between these exotic port cities. Through an effortless blending of word and image\, John S. Sledge\, Alicia García-Santana\, Chip Cooper\, and Julio A. Larramendi\, historians and photographers from each side of the basin\, share a colorful\, complex\, and sometimes difficult story never before fully told. \nOver twenty years ago\, Mobile’s visionary municipal archivist Jay Higginbotham remarked\, “Mobile\, Alabama\, and Havana\, Cuba\, have only three things in common.

But this book is also more than that. It’s an inspired collaboration\, reminding us of transcendent ties of geography\, culture\, and architecture beyond present-day political differences.” —Robert Gamble\, retired Senior Architectural Historian\, Alabama Historical Commission

SUMMARY:Coastie the Safety Boat at the Exploreum
DESCRIPTION:Come join us on select Saturdays at 11am\, for a special visit from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and their friend\, Coastie\, the animated robotic boat! Learn all about water safety through an interactive learning experience for the whole family.\nScheduled dates (subject to change):July 12th (Shark Week)July 26th\nThis is free for Exploreum members or included in general admission for non-members. Pricing can be found here: https://www.exploreum.com/plan-your-visit/hours-admission/\n_______________________\n\nCoastie teaches rules about what to do and not do in a water emergency situation. For instance\, Coastie teaches “Reach or Throw But Never Go In.” This message along with interaction and instruction with Coastie teaches children how to throw or reach something to a person who is in trouble in the water rather than going in to try to save him. He also teaches slogans that kids remember like “Don’t Just Pack It! Wear Your Life Jacket!” and “Always Swim With A Buddy In A Supervised Area.”\nThis program has already educated thousands of children since it was started in 1996 and interacted with children and their parents at Boat Shows\, Schools\, Parades and Hospitals all over the Columbus\, Ohio area. Coastie has visited other cities such as Marietta\, and Dayton\, Ohio\, Washington DC\, Chicago\, and St. Louis. He has even gone to Pittsburgh 1997-1998 for the Tri City Regatta and Parade.\nOne of Coastie’s most recent educational programs that has also become an annual event is the Defense Logistic Agency\, Summer Family Fun Festival Day\, in Columbus\, Ohio. The interaction is always very worthwhile at this event. The bottom line for Coastie is “Education and Saving Lives” while sharing the boating and water safety message with everyone he contacts. Coastie’s Team motto is “Saving Lives Through Education”.
