Dessert and a Movie: The Pez Outlaw

Whip up your favorite dessert and join us to discuss a film which we have watched in advance on Kanopy, a free service accessible online using your Lawrence Library card number and pin.  This month we'll watch the quirky documentary The Pez Outlaw, the true story of Steve Glew, a Michigan man who became a millionaire in the 1990's by smuggling rare Pez dispensers from Eastern Europe into the U.S. The film uses reenactments and interviews to tell this "stranger-than-fiction" story of candy espionage, romance, and an eventual showdown with "The Pezident" of America's Pez division, who fights tooth and nail to monopolize the Pez market. Willy Wonka meets James Bond!  Sweet!  Don't miss this one.The zoom link will be emailed to all registrants the day prior. If you have not received it by the morning of the event, email retirement@lplks.org. Questions? Please reach out to Lorel Lewis at llewis@lplks.org.
