Today is Arbor Day in Washington State

Respect your Elders (and Oaks, Pines and Hickories too)

In Celebration of International Moment of Laughter Day and to commemorate the 106th anniversary of the first motion picture public showing in1894, today we are offering a private showing of Wall-E at noon in the Alder Room.  Bring your lunch!


The year is 2700. WALL•E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for.

Facts about Washington – The Evergreen State
State flower: Coast rhododendron (1892)
State tree: Western Hemlock (1947)
State bird: Willow Goldfinch (1951)
State fish: Steelhead trout (1969)
State gem: petrified wood (1975)



And now for today's eco-friendly tip:

Tip # 8 Buy smart.

o Buy in bulk. Purchasing food from bulk bins can save money and packaging.

o Wear clothes that don't need to be dry-cleaned. This saves money and cuts down on toxic chemical use.

o Invest in high-quality, long-lasting products. You might pay more now, but you'll be happy when you don't have to replace items as frequently (and this means less waste!).
