Enjoy An Evening with David Sedaris on April 27 at Clowes Memorial Hall! David Sedaris, America’s best-selling humorist and social satirist, returns following publication of his most recent book of short stories, Happy Go Lucky, and his first ever children’s book, Pretty Ugly. In his customary sartorial and humorous manner, David will make you laugh and think in equal measures, with all new, unpublished stories and commentary. As always, the reading will be accompanied by a pre and post-show book signing.

WFYI is proud to partner on this event, hosted by Butler Arts & Events Center.

In Indiana, many households that were once considered financially secure are now facing increased risk of instability due to rising costs of living and limited financial buffers/safety nets to fall back on. County-level analysis of ALICE data (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) shows a different on-ground reality from the federally demarcated poverty line. This report explores how economic security is becoming more out of reach for many families. By examining ALICE households and geographic patterns, particularly where rent, childcare, and grocery costs consume a disproportionate share of earnings, this analysis explores the question: What socioeconomic indicators are early-warning, high-risk factors for moving into the ALICE population, beyond income alone?

Through this collaboration between The Polis Center, SAVI, and WFYI, we'll explore what factors beyond income put Indiana households at greater risk of falling into ALICE status.

Join The Economic Club of Indiana for a lively event on May 1, 2026, as we welcome Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America.

Since 2018, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Feeding America, a network of food banks, statewide food bank associations, food pantries and meal programs, and the largest charity in the United States since 2022, according to Forbes. Under her strategic guidance, the organization has reached new milestones in addressing domestic food insecurity. Claire's leadership has propelled Feeding America forward, navigating through the challenges of a global pandemic and significantly growing the strength of its network of food banks and partner agencies to better serve communities and people facing hunger.

Claire holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, a Juris Doctor from Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and a Master of Laws in Taxation from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in Dallas, Texas.

Claire was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2020. In 2021, she was honored with PRWeek’s Communicator of the Year award and Sothern Methodist University’s Distinguished Alumni Award. Claire was among Forbes 50 over 50 in 2022, and, in 2023, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities honored Claire with the Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Claire has been a lifelong volunteer and has served on a number of nonprofit boards, including the Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, the board of directors and audit committee for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and the board of trustees and finance and audit committee for the National Urban League and the National Association of Black Accountants. She also served on the corporate advisory board for the Association of Latino Professionals for America and the global board of directors and the Walmart Foundation executive committee.

With brilliant arrangements, flawless musicianship and superlative vocals, the 12-piece band Evil Woman – The American ELO – is widely recognized as the world’s premier tribute to the Electric Light Orchestra. Picking up where the Beatles left off in 1970, the UK-based ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop songs. ELO was one of the biggest groups of the 1970s, with hits including “Telephone Line,” “Mr. Blue Sky,” “Xanadu,” “Evil Woman,” “Livin’ Thing” and “Don’t Bring Me Down.”
