  • Men’s Breakfast Club

    9:00 am-12:00 pm
    04/21/2021

    The Men’s Club welcomes NY Times bestselling Author/Speaker MICHAEL TOUGIAS with a presentation titled “Growing Up Wild in the 1960’s &70’s” based on his new book, The Waters Between Us: A Boy, a Father, Outdoor Misadventures and the Healing Power of Nature. Untamed. Unsupervised. Uncontrolled. Boyhood in the 1960s and ‘70s was a time for exploration and mischief. Author Michael Tougias found more than his share of misadventures in the woods and on the water: some life-threatening but others innocently hilarious. Over time – and after reading a multitude of adventure books — these experiences took shape in his quest to be a mountain man, owning a cabin in the forest and living off the land. Part of that dream would come true, but only after a family tragedy that shook his world and forced changes in his life. Tougias channels Bryson’s “A Walk in the Woods” to mix laugh out loud humor with insight into the natural world through the eyes of a curious boy. The author uses the same storytelling skills that landed him on the New York Times bestseller list to both engage and inspire his audience. Tougias is a New York Times Bestselling author and co-author of 31 books for adults, and 6 for young adults and children. Among his bestsellers are There’s A Porcupine In My Outhouse (Winner of the Independent Publishers “Best Nature Book of the Year”), Ten Hours Until Dawn and The Finest Hours (inspiration for a 2016 Disney movie).
