Humanities Washington Speaker Event:
What is a Chief? How native Values Can Teach Resilience-John Halliday
Most museums display no more than 10 percent of their holdings, often citing “not enough space” as the reason. But there are also a wide range of cultural, philosophical, political, environmental, historic, and even superstitious reasons why museums keep some objects from public view.
In this talk, explore a wide range of hidden objects found in the back rooms of museums in our state and around the country. Examples include a Spokane institution that holds Bing Crosby’s toupées and a museum in Lynden that’s home to a 150-year-old pickle. When possible, we will have local museum curators on hand to answer questions, participate in our discussions, and unbox a few hidden treasures.
As part of First Presbyterian Church of Aberdeen’s mission to the community, our church will hold a spaghetti dinner and craft fair on Saturday, November 2 nd from 5:00-7:00 pm. Funds raised will be used to purchase stocking caps, socks and gloves for those in need. The dinner will include spaghetti, salad, bread, dessert, and beverage. Vegetarian & Gluten Free options are available. The cost is $10 for adults and $7 for children 12 and under. Crafts for the event are being made and donated by the congregation.
Tickets can be purchased at the church office or at the door the day of the event.
There is no cost to attend the craft fair. For more information, visit our website at aberdeenpres.org.

AmeriCorps members in Aberdeen to unite in service on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
AmeriCorps members will volunteer, lead activities at Stewart’s Memorial Park Jan 20
ABERDEEN— The Moore Wright Group of Aberdeen is inviting AmeriCorps members and community volunteers for a day of beautifying Stewart’s Memorial Park, 2332 N B. St. The event takes place at 10 a.m. Jan. 20. Volunteers should dress warmly and wear work gloves.
Their service project is one of thousands simultaneously occurring across the country to honor the late civil rights leader.
Observed each year on the third Monday in January, Martin Luther King, Jr., Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King and improve their communities. AmeriCorps has been charged with leading this effort for more than a quarter century. While much work remains to fulfill Dr. King’s dream of creating the Beloved Community, AmeriCorps remains committed to showing that joining together in service can unify Americans of different backgrounds and experiences to transform unjust systems through a fierce urgency of now.
How to volunteer: Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Peter Van Volkinburg, pete@tmwg.org.
Find a service project in your area: Serve Washington has a “Get Connected” volunteer opportunities site that lets you search for volunteer opportunities in your community. You can filter results by location, focus area, ability and more.
