Oct 12 @ 5:00 pm – 9:30 pm

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. The Gala Dinner & Auction is Providence Health Care Foundation’s largest event fundraiser of the year and includes a champagne hour with auto museum viewing, silent and live auction, dessert dash, wine grab, and live dance music by the Bruce Maier Band.

Funds raised will support the purchase of an E-ICU unit. An Electronic Intensive Care Unit is a form of telemedicine that uses state of the art technology to provide an additional layer of critical care services. It is a supplement – not a replacement – to the beside team, offering support and delivering need-to-know information to caregivers, empowering them to care for their patients who need it most in the moments that matter most.

Advance reservations required. Reservations are $100 per person and tables can seat up to 8 guests. For more information, to make a donation or to purchase your reservations, please call (360) 827-7940. We hope to see you there!

Restoration at Discovery Trail

Your help is needed. We have removed blackberry along the trail and need to plant native shrubs to slow the return of this problem plant. All the plants are bare-root and must be put in the ground quickly. Many hands make light the work – bring your friends.

We will have hot drinks, water and snacks available. Please dress for the weather (cool and damp, with rain showers). Bring a shovel if you can and your favorite gloves. Questions? Please email office@chehalislandtrust.org.

Are Salmon Doomed? Hatching a Plan to Save a Northwest Icon @ Centralia Timberland Library
Mar 14 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm

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)
