Spencer Conley – Finish Strong by Putting Talk into Action Without EXCUSE @ Tenino High School
Feb 23 @ 6:00 pm

“You can’t just DREAM about success. At some point, you must wake up and LIVE it.”  ~Spencer Conley

Many inspirational speakers make a presentation with passion – and Spencer Conley does just that. But Conley also shows his audiences how to put his “talk” into action, encouraging them to not just dream but wake up and live it; live beyond doubt, lack, fear, race, gender, and EXCUSE.

As a former professional athlete, coach and current mentor to professional athletes like Seahawks center Justin Britt, Spencer Conley now brings even more to others all over the world by establishing programs that encourage change and growth. He presents life-changing inspiration to people everywhere.

Spencer Conley, known as “Big Coach,” is the CEO of his firm, Too Driven. He is the backbone of many outreach programs that influence students, coaches’ offices, boardrooms and family living rooms. He’s devoted to his purpose as well as to being a father, husband, community activist, humanitarian, leader and friend. Conley’s mission is to leave the world a better place and to continue to encourage her people to live a life that is “Too Driven” to do anything other than succeed.

This event is being brought to you by the Citizens for Tenino Schools. We look forward to you joining us for an evening of excitement! 10 and under are free with an accompanying adult.

A Deadly Wind: The 1962 Columbus Day Storm @ Vernetta Smith Chehalis Timberland Library
Mar 23 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm

On October 12, 1962, a windstorm fueled in part by the remains of Typhoon Freda struck the Pacific Northwest with deadly winds topping one hundred miles per hour.

The storm killed dozens, injured hundreds, damaged more than fifty thousand homes, and leveled enough timber to build one million homes. Join us for an author talk with John Dodge, former investigative reporter for The Olympian, as he reads passages from his new book about Typhoon Freda, “A Deadly Wind: The 1962 Columbus Day Storm.” This talk will include a slideshow and a question and answer session. A signing will follow the presentation, and copies of the book will be available for purchase.
