A great story must start strong to get the reader’s attention. Each novel’s beginning must be a balancing act of description, backstory and action. Participants in this workshop will learn how much backstory to include in their novel, how to identify essential establishing information, and how to effectively drop their readers into the action.
This is the first of a four-class workshop series taught by local author Lindsay Schopfer. Although these classes work best together, attendance for all three classes is not required
Join in a Discussion of “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou. This program is part of a year-long series of book discussions exploring black history and culture to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of African American pioneer George Washington, who, together with his wife Mary Jane, founded the City of Centralia in 1875.
This social, family-friendly class gets your body and mind moving in a fun atmosphere. By the end of ten weeks you will have learned the basics of modern square dancing – the same moves used in thousands of square dance club dances and dance events throughout the world. You’ll be dancing at the very first lesson. Couples, families and singles are all welcome. First lesson is Thursday, January 18 at 6:30 p.m. For more information call Nancy at 360-438-1284 or Ed at 360-352-2662. Sponsored by Olympia Area Square Dancers. Web: www.OlympiaSquareDance.com
We will have two presentations of interest to residents of Lewis County. Everyone is welcome:
Poplar Farms and Bio-Refinery in the Chehalis?
Researchers at WSU Extension are looking at the potential for a poplar tree-based
bio-economy in Lewis County. They are examining the economic feasibility of a
refinery in Centralia supplied by poplars grown within 60 miles of the site. They will present details on the proposal and ask community members what they think.
This presentation will interest anyone involved in agriculture, wastewater treatment, or land and water use in the Chehalis River Basin.
City of Chehalis Flood Mitigation and Water Supply Solutions
The City of Chehalis is setting up a flood mitigation site, as well as a dedicated fund and a mechanism for providing mitigation credits for filling in the floodplain. The City is also looking at new water treatment and supply options to support economic development. Trent Lougheed will provide details.
Meeting time and location:
Friday, January 26
9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.
