Molly McKasson

From Pima County News:

Molly McKasson, writer, actress and former teacher and Tucson City Council member, will meet and talk with the public at Pima County Public Library’s next “Meet Me at the Library: Conversations with Arizona Leaders” on Saturday, Jan. 14.*

The event is 2-3:30 p.m. at the Himmel Park Branch Library, 1035 N Treat Ave., and is free and open to the public.

McKasson served two terms representing Ward 6 on the Tucson City Council from 1989 to 1997 and ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 1999 against Bob Walkup. She continues to be active in the community. Her writing has appeared in a number of local magazines and other publications. She has directed and acted in a number of theater productions, most recently “Circle Mirror Transformation” at Invisible Theatre in November.

Meet Me at the Library is an opportunity for people to meet and talk to elected officials and other community leaders.

Previous invited officials to this Conversations have been former UA President Robert Shelton, retiring Pima County Supervisor Ann Day (District 1) and current Chair Supervisor Ramon Valadez (District 2), State Senators Paula Aboud (LD 28), Linda Lopez (LD 29), Frank Antenori (LD 30).

I’ve known Molly for a number of years since she was our Ward 6 Councilmember, and attended the memorial service of her husband Rich Morgan two years ago. She is a very strong woman, who has a deep sense of community involvement.

1/11/12: Just received notification that this library talk has been cancelled. See note below.

*1/12/12: Molly’s talk has been rescheduled to Tuesday Feb.7, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Himmel Library.

    Hi Sue,  I was really looking forward to attending Molly’s talk, and then heard at the Annual Sam Hughes Neighborhood Association Meeting it had been rescheduled to Tuesday, Feb. 8th, 6:30 pm..  OH My,  that creates a conflict with the Tuesday evening Science Lecture Series at the UofA ..(that evening on the Aging Brain).

    I don’t know if others would find it as an excruciating choice as I do, but as a senior citizen, I feel a need to join my husband at the UofA lecture series. If there’s not a large turnout… perhaps Molly would return for a daytime presentation in the near future?  I hope so.     Lastly, thank you for setting up these lecture series at the library.  We have thoroughly enjoyed the ones we’ve attended.  Regard, Gladys Richardson

      Thanks for commenting Gladys and inquiring about whether Sue Parker (librarian at Himmel Library) can schedule an additional time for Molly to speak. Hopefully Sue will respond to your email inquiry. Molly’s Feb. 7 talk does conflict with the Living Beyond 100 lecture series, which I will blog about next week, as it starts on Jan. 24.

    Reminder: Molly’s talk tonight at Himmel Library, 6:30 p.m.
