What's Happening

January 6, 2025, Adrian, Michigan – The next session of Weber Center’s Dine and Discuss Book Club focuses on Dan Slepian’s book, The Sing Sing Files: One Journalist, Six Innocent Men, and a 20-Year Fight for Justice. Dinner and the discussion are at 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at Weber Retreat and Conference Center.

The book details the experience of Dan Slepian, a veteran producer for NBC’s Dateline, as he investigates an allegation that two men were serving 25 years to life in prison for a 1990 murder they had not committed. For the next 20 years, Dan investigates other claims of injustice and the U.S. justice system.

The cost of $25 includes the book, as well as the dinner and discussion. If you purchase this hard-cover book for this reduced cost, please commit to attending the dinner and discussion. The book is available at Weber Center beginning on January 13, 2025.
