Join us in-person for our July Music @ Bosler concert as we welcome back Jamie O'Brien!
Singer and guitarist Jamie O'Brien returns to Carlisle, his home for a decade before moving to Tucson, Arizona in 2006, for an evening of Irish music.

With his mix of familiar and rarely heard songs, he tells the stories of how he learned them along with their origins.
Free to the public. No Registration Required.

Note: This concert takes place on the fifth Friday of the month.
The Music at Bosler series is made possible in part with support from concertgoers, and the Arts for All grant opportunity of the Greater Harrisburg Foundation, a regional foundation of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities.

Join us for a virtual talk on leadership this August with Dr. Matthew Raidbard!
Dr. Matthew Raidbard has spent the past 15 years as a men's college basketball coach and senior level college athletics administrator. While pursuing his Doctorate in Educational Leadership, he conducted research on athletic coach leadership practice that led him to determine that coaches were not being provided the tools and resources required to take on the outsized leadership role they were asked to take on for their athletes and team. This discovery was the inspiration for his new book, "Lead Like A Pro: Effective Leadership Styles For Athletic Coaches," where he provides coaches, at all levels of sports, with tools to enhance their leadership practice and become more effective leaders.
Thursday, August 25 at 6:30 pm
Program is free but registration is required.
