Parks Appreciation Day is Saturday!
Saturday is a county-wide Parks Appreciation Day here in Pierce County. Last year more than 2,000 volunteers helped clear trails, comb beaches, and trim limbs. It's going to be a fun morning. Weather is currently calling for showers in the evening, so hopefully that will hold out for us. Here's more information about it if you're interested!
Union Station at City Club, with Rep. Norm Dicks!
Next Wednesday the 20th, City Club's lunch will feature Congressman Norm Dicks, Judge Robert Bryan, and Jim Merritt to discuss the saving of Union Station. This is just in time for the 100th anniversary of the station. I have a real fondness for Union Station after Mary and I held our wedding reception there in 2008. And Mary used to be a tour guide there too, way back when. I hope you'll consider coming. It's definitely a great success story for Tacoma. More information at the City Club site.
William Kamkwamba during the Q&A
A really great presentation this afternoon.
At @FoodCamp253. Listening to @captainchunk speak about mixology. My no-knead bread talk is up soon!
Tacoma Reads Together Author here on Sunday!
William Kamkwamba, author of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, will be in Tacoma Sunday at 2:00 at the downtown Tacoma library to speak about his story. More information here at the Tacoma Reads Together page. If you haven't read it yet, don't worry! You can still listen to the author, then read it, then participate in one of the other many events taking place over the next month.
