Potholes in the Road to Publication (date TBD)
Jan. 03, 2018
Eleanor, the protagonist of the novel, volunteers to drive an ambulance in France during WWI because she wants to make a difference. However, her wartime experiences are so horrific that she doesn’t want to talk about them. She has PTSD. One of the results of her not talking about her war is that her son enlists to fight in WWII.
The presentation is about 15 years of trying to make a difference by working to get out this anti-war story, from inspiration to winning a national book award.

"Safety and Assault Prevention" with NOT ME! Training, and non profit Super Hero Kids Foundation.
Mar. 14, 2018
Heidi Nauman phone 612-708-3676 email: heidi.nauman@gmail.com Heidi is the Assistant Director for the non-profit Super Hero Kids Foundation whch teaches safety and assault prevention for kids of all ages in schools and Pediatric Clinics in the Twin Cities. She also works on fundraising to be able to provide the classes at no cost or subsidized cost for schools and other non profits. Minnetonka District will be the first school district to provide assault prevention for kids beginning in Kindergarten and up. 1 in 7 kids will face an assault before they are 18 years old....90% by people they know, 10% by strangers. About 90% of trafficked victims encountered a sexual assault in elementary years, which makes exploitation much more likely, as well as emotional challenges, substance abuse, promiscuity, risky behavior, and suicide.
She also does outreach and training for NOT ME! TRAINING. Minnetonka was the first public high school to hold annual safety and assault prevention programs for graduates and their parents the last 4 years which empower people to avoid danger, and escape if necessary. In our area, Mount Calvary Church and Oppidan Investments have also been big supporters and hosts.
Heidi is proud of working with leaders in Minnetonka to provide an innovative model for the state of Minnesota, the USA, and globally to take bold initiatives to create the next generations of safer, healthier people.
