About this event
Frustrated with your job search or your 9-5 or your 11-7? Join others in the same boat for co-working and commiseration from 11 AM to 12 PM, followed by a screening of a workplace classic. This month's film is 9 to 5 (1980), directed by Colin Higgins. Stuck in a dead-end job under a boss that she trained, Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin) is at her wit's end. But when the boss' good-natured secretary (Dolly Parton) and a new hire (Jane Fonda) decide that they've had enough, too, their revenge fantasy becomes hilarious reality in a scheme that spins wildly out of control! The movie will start promptly at 12 PM. Registrations are appreciated! This program is intended for adult participants. Viewer discretion is advised. Light refreshments provided!
