ZingTrain Speaker Series: Wayne Baker

We’ve known Professor Wayne Baker for so long that we sometimes take his scholarly accomplishments for granted. Which is why we’re so excited to be able to feature him as a speaker this season – so we can revisit his accomplishments, but more importantly, so we can share with you what is, perhaps, his most exciting work yet.
In this session of the Speaker Series, Wayne will talk about Mark Twain, the Apollo moon landing, Lady Justice, Olympic medals, and his family sailboat. What? Yes! The session will be an in-depth exploration of America’s core values through iconic images, personal stories, and colorful anecdotes. It will include a short activity to identify and talk about core values. And best of all, Professor Baker will reveal the surprising findings from his national surveys: That Americans share 10 core values. That a broad common ground still exists in America. Wayne will conclude the session by sharing why an organizational values alignment is critical and how you can uncover the values in yours. Wednesday, December 3, 8-930am.

Winter Beer Tasting with Arbor Brewing at Zingerman’s Creamery

What better way to kick off the holiday season than with a malty cup of Arbor Brewing’s Wenceslas Winter Fuel?

Fried Walleye & Cherry Pie: Cornman Farms Innaugural Book Club Dinner

There are few things in life that make us as happy as good book, but a delicious meal might be one of them. Zingerman’s Cornman Farms announces its Inaugural Book Club Dinner, to be held on Friday, December 5th. Honoring author Peggy Wolff and her outstanding book, Fried Walleye and Cherry Pie, the menu will feature quintessentially Midwestern cuisine, and the ticket will also include a festive welcome beverage.

This is a Cornman Farms occasion not to be missed!
The fine print: This dinner’s menu will be fairly specific, so let us know prior to booking if you or anyone in your party has dietary restrictions. Thanks!
