The Whatcom Literacy Council will host the annual Literacy Breakfast with Nancy Pearl Thursday, November 2 from 7:15 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. at Bellingham Technical College’s Settlemyer Hall. An $11 registration (available via the website www.whatcomliteracy.org) will be required to reserve a seat. This event typically sells out over a month in advance, so early registration is advised.
Since 1983, the Whatcom Literacy Council has helped hundreds of adults in Whatcom County transform their lives by strengthening their literacy skills with free tutoring and small group classes. Proceeds from the event go directly to programs that help our neighbors here in Whatcom County build skills that help them get jobs and take care of their families. This year the witty and wonderful Nancy Pearl, NPR commentator and author of Book Lust, More Book Lust, Book Crush, Book Lust To Go and, most recently, a novel called George and Lizzie, will return to share her thoughts on some of the best reads available. Village Books will be on hand to sell Nancy’s recommendations.
This is a fundraiser for the adult literacy programs offered by the Whatcom Literacy Council. It is expected that guests will make a donation at the event.

The sounds of trio Ensemble Electra will fill the Chamber Hall on Saturday, January 20, in the third presentation of the J’s Firefly Concert Series. The musicians are Vicki Boeckman, recorder; Tekla Cunningham, violin; and Jillon Stoppels Dupree, harpsichord.
The Seattle-based trio performs with energy and passion the rich, varied repertoire for recorder, violin and harpsichord, specializing in music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The trio draws on its many years of solo and ensemble experience, as well as highly-acclaimed individual reputations, to create innovative and dynamic performances. The ensemble’s unique programming often combines musical genres from seemingly disparate styles, woven together with intelligence and historic sensitivity. Ensemble Electra’s spontaneous, charismatic energy makes for playful and engaging concerts which appeal to audiences of all ages. Recent performances have received rave reviews in Seattle and throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Their performances have been described as “brilliant and engaging,” “exuberant with an authoritative flair,” and “fostering a personal approach to the listener.”
Come cheer on the WWU Volleyball team at Carver Gym on WWU Campus on Saturday, August 31, 2019 at 1 PM against British Columbia! Go Vikings!

Dates: Tuesdays, November 16–December 21, 2021
Time: 6:30–9:00 PM

Learn the art of making pottery and create decorative and functional vessels in a spacious studio.
This class is for the beginner and for those who have taken beginning pottery classes in the past. The course will cover basic and intermediate level workings in clay – this class is mainly focused on wheel-thrown vessels (centering, pulling walls, shaping and trimming). Topics on cups, mugs, bowls, plates, cylinders, and aesthetics related to these shapes will be covered.
Advanced students are welcome and individual instruction will be given on topics such as lids, two-part pots, slip decoration, large vessels, production techniques, and more.
Each student will create a small series of functional vessels on the wheel (6-8). Various styles of vessels will be discussed during this course and an introduction to glaze and firing techniques will also be covered.
The cost of this course includes 23 hours of free open studio time per week for extra practice.
