Wine, Cheese and Halloween Tuesday in Roxborough

Here's what's going on Tuesday in Roxborough.

Wine, Cheese and Halloween: It's the season at the Schuylkill Center on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. for all things ghoulish.  They'll uncork a bottle of wine and share the weirdly wonderful stories of scary animals and plants: the lethal weed that killed Abe Lincoln's mother, the truth behind vampire bats, a massive wasp that feeds on—gulp!—tarantulas, and the world's deadliest animal.  They'll also meet two very Halloween-ish characters—a vulture and a great horned owl—live and in person.  It's a special adults-only celebration of that master of the macabre, Mother Nature. 

Registration required.  $18 (Schuylkill members $15)

Social Media Talk: Springside Chestnut Hill Academy will host a guest speaker who will talk about social media on Tuesday at 7 p.m.  Here's how the school describes the program: Why are girls so obsessed with social media? How can you help your daughter be more confident when she's so desperate to fit in? How can you help your daughter stay grounded during the college application process? In an informal, intimate conversation with parents, Rachel will answer your questions about raising girls to be more self-aware, authentic and assertive.
