The Garden's 1st Quarter 2024 Big Give Recipient
This Sunday at The Garden, we welcome friends from our first quarter Big Give recipient, Best Buddies Indiana. Best Buddies International represents a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This weekend, we will have an opportunity to meet and engage with some of the artists who have donated the art work that has been on display in our hallway in support of Best Buddies. Join us Sunday for a special day of Celebration and to learn more about our local Best Buddies Chapter.

Betty Brandt comments on how two films—Conclave and Penguin Lessons—have taken on unexpected relevance in 2025. Conclave offers a glimpse into the process of selecting a new pope, coinciding with Pope Francis’s passing, while Penguin Lessons delves into Argentina’s turbulent 1970s, raising questions about justice and moral responsibility. Explore their significance in today's changing world.
