Casino Royale Gala, Providence Centralia Hospital’s 2019 Gala Dinner & Auction, will take place on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 5:00 – 9:30 p.m. at the Jester Auto Museum & Event Center in Chehalis.

An environmental necessity, a vital economic resource, and a cultural symbol, salmon play a fundamental role in the Pacific Northwest—but they are in trouble.
With warming oceans, environmental degradation, and lowering genetic variability, wild salmon populations are dwindling. Climatologist Nick Bond explores the past, present, and possible future conditions for salmon in our state, and sees room for optimism. He shares lessons on how local communities have accomplished important work to support salmon runs, but also takes a hard look at the realities climate change poses for this regional treasure. Explore the history, science, and story of this cherished Northwest icon.
This presentation is part of Humanities Washington’s Speakers Bureau program and sponsored by the Friends of the Centralia Timberland Library.
For Teens (ages 12-18) and Adults (age 18 and older)
