Oso Landslide Fundraiser @ Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen

May 2 @ 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Oso Landslide Fundraiser @ Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen | Bellingham | Washington | United States

The event will feature a variety of local beers on draft, food, live music, raffle prizes and a silent auction. All proceeds from beer and food sales, raffle tickets and silent auction items will go to the Red Cross “Oso Mudslide Relief Fund.”

Since the March 22 tragedy, Red Cross has stationed more than 350 trained disaster workers at or near the slide site, the majority of which are from Washington state. Multiple shelters have been set up, and the volunteers continue to serve countless meals to rescue workers and affected families, provide counselors and case workers to help with individual recovery plans, and so much more.

This fundraiser is being put together by the organizers of Bellingham Beer Week and Chuckanut’s owners and staff. Many local and regional businesses have graciously donated items for this event – everything from beer to food, live music to advertising, and raffle prizes to silent auction items.

Bees and Pollinators through the Macro Lens @ Sustainable Living Center @ the RE Store

Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society
Chapter Meeting:

Many people are unaware of the fascinating diversity of bees and other pollinators around the world. For example, in the state of Washington alone there are upwards of 700 species of native bees. To the naked eye, many of these organisms look like nothing more than a mundane house fly. Through the macro lens, however, a vastly different world is revealed. In this presentation, Aidan Hersh will showcase the beautiful bees and pollinators of Washington and beyond. Aidan Hersh is a macro photographer and native bee enthusiast living in Bellingham. He serves on the board of the Washington Native Bee Society and the steering committee of the Washington Bee Atlas. He hopes that his photography will spark interest in the too often forgotten yet vitally important world of bees and pollinators. His photos can be found on Instagram @photo.by.aidan

This is an in-person chapter meeting! The Koma Kulshan Chapter’s in-person meetings begin at 7pm in the Sustainable Living Center education room at the ReStore (2309 Meridian St.). The entrance is off the back alley and the SLC is upstairs.
