Our fourth annual Literary Fundraiser event will take place on Saturday, June 30, 2012, at Lopez Center for Community and Arts.  Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and refreshments will be available, including wine and Northwest hors d’oeuvres. 

This year’s featured authors:

Bruce Barcott

Claire Dederer

 For those of you who don’t know them, Bruce and Claire are writers who are husband and wife, yet very different from each other in their literary pursuits. Bruce is an environmentalist and has written a beautiful book about Mt. Rainer, among others. Currently he is writing a book about salmon and fishing rights in the Northwest. Bruce also writes regularly for “Outside” magazine. Claire is a journalist, and has recently published “Poser: My life in Twenty Three Yoga Poses”, which has captured much attention, particularly from women raising children these days.

Susan Young will be instructing two new Employment and Life Skills classes in May: “Create Your Own Website Using Google Sites”, which will provide an introduction to using free Google tools for developing a website,  and “Create Brochures, Newsletters, Business Cards, and More”, which will provide instruction on locating and customizing ready-made templates that use Microsoft Word 2010 as a desktop publishing program. 

Both classes will be taught over three sessions (Mondays May 7, 14, and 21).  For more details and information on times and registration fees, please click here.
