Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
A determination to pursue dreams even in the midst of difficult circumstances will be
discussed at Lifetree Café on Sunday, January 3 at 7 p.m.
The program, titled “Follow Your Dreams: Even When You Think You Can’t,” features a
filmed interview with Mandy Harvey, a jazz vocalist whose sudden hearing loss nearly
derailed her dream of becoming a professional singer.
During the interview, Harvey explains how losing her hearing caused a downward spiral
that almost kept her from pursuing any interest in music altogether.

“I started not being able to understand my teachers talking anymore, so I started moving
closer and closer to the front of the room,” she says. “It didn’t help. I got hearing aids, but
they stopped being useful probably after a month. I figured that I would never do music
again.”
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Campbell Creek
Connexion on the corner of Union and 13th St., Arcata.
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a
