Whatcom Literacy Council's 28th Annual Trivia Bee @ Aslan Depot or Online

Join the Whatcom Literacy Council for our 28th annual TRIVIA BEE fundraiser on Thursday, April 18th from 6:30 pm to 8 pm.

Ryan Budds of TRIVIA WITH BUDDS will provide a fast paced and interactive platform for an online trivia night akin to Jeopardy!

Register your team (3 people) on our webpage for $75, or just watch for free.

Teams compete in four rounds on a variety of topics, with the winners going home with the traveling “Totten Trophy.” Because it is a virtual ZOOM event participants can play from anywhere, with answers submitted via cell phone.

For local residents who would like to meet in person Aslan Depot (1322 N State, Bellingham, WA) will be showing the event on a big screen. It is recommended that you arrive around 6pm to find a table and order drinks and food before the game begins at 6:30pm.

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.

Please contact us at events@whatcomliteracy.org for information on sponsorships and visit our website whatcomliteracy.org for team registrations. Thank you!

Revenge of the 6th | Star Wars Trivia Fundraiser Benefitting the Max Higbee Center @ Stemma Brewing Co.
May 6 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Join us at a Brewery in a galaxy not that far, far away for a night of Star Wars trivia and supporting the pillar in our town that is the Max Higbee Center!

Who is the Max Higbee Center? They’re a local organization here in town with a mission to provide community-based recreation programs for teens and adults with developmental disabilities in three ways:

1. To provide opportunities for personal enjoyment and enrichment through a diverse range of leisure activities.
2. To promote the social, physical, emotional, and cognitive growth and development of participants.
3. To assist participants to achieve greater independence in their lives and increased involvement in the community.

Last year we raised $4,235 and our goal is to beat that this year with a total of $5,000 or more.

Join Naturalist, Jazmen Yoder on a day of foraging out in the woods. This course will take place on private and public property approximately 2 miles from of Maple Falls. Location is subject to change based on seasonal anomalies such as delayed sprouting.

Expect moderate walking/hiking with frequent stops, self-led exploration, and a lesson in ethical foraging on public lands.

The last half of the class, we will build a fire and cook together using nettles. I will show you 2 recipes and make suggestions for several others.

Pine Needle Basketry – A Wildcrafter’s Workshop with Northwest Natura @ Chuckanut Center
May 18 @ 1:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Pine Needle Basketry - A Wildcrafter's Workshop with Northwest Natura @ Chuckanut Center

In this wildcrafting workshop you will learn how to weave a basket using the coil technique and Ponderosa Pine needles.

Baskets are thought to be one of the first art forms of ancient peoples, with basket fragments found in California and the Southwest dating to 9400 years, and coiled baskets from the earliest sites in Egypt dating to 7,000 years. The coil technique requires patience and attention to detail before it becomes a relaxing, repetitive stitching pattern. It is a skill that is more easily learned with a little guidance.

Dabblers, beginners, intermediate, and advanced weavers will enjoy this creative, social gathering.

In this course you will learn:

ID and Ecology features of Pinus spp. (various pine tree species).

Foraging techniques and where to harvest pine needles.

How to weave a coiled basket using pine needles.

All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own too if you wish (e.g., thread, beads, decor, sewing kit).
