Author Talk about Sasquatch with Author David George Gordon @ Amanda Park Timberland Library
Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

People in the Northwest have reported encounters with Sasquatch for hundreds of years. There are footprint casts and eyewitness accounts, some from the earliest Northwestern inhabitants. With all this “evidence,” however, researchers have failed to scientifically prove the creature’s existence.

Author David George Gordon will discuss the data, the scientific method, and the possibilities that Sasquatch exists at the Amanda Park Timberland Library, Saturday, March 18 from 2-3 p.m.

Voices from the Harbor @ Driftwood Players Theater
Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm
Voices from the Harbor @ Driftwood Players Theater | Aberdeen | Washington | United States

Listen to selections from oral histories gathered by Harbor area students come to life through readings and narrator panels. Through these voices we will explore what draws us to this place, what helps us persevere during times of struggle, and what cultivates our sense of belonging to the area known as “The Harbor.

Presented by The Evergreen State College faculty member Stephen Buxbaum, “Voices from the Harbor” is possible because of a grant from Humanities Washington to The Evergreen State College Foundation.

Talk: A Cheapskate’s Road Map to Happiness @ Aberdeen Timberland Library
Apr 15 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Jeff Yeager is “the Ultimate Cheapskate.” NBC TODAY Show’s Matt Lauer said so. Even before becoming a darling of national media, when he ran nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C., Yeager was famous for skinny budgets and impressive outcomes. In those days he called himself a “Titan of Tightwads.” 
Yeager has created a lifestyle that allowed him to retire at age 46.  He continues to live a rich, happy life, doing exactly what he wants to do. Thank goodness he loves to share his secrets with the rest of us.

COASST Marine Debris Training Session @ Ocean Shore Convention Center
May 7 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
COASST Marine Debris Training Session @ Ocean Shore Convention Center | Ocean Shores | Washington | United States

COASST Marine Debris participants survey local beaches and collect data on the characteristics and location of debris – data that will ultimately be used to map the source and transport pathways of debris, as well as the potential harm to people, wildlife, and local coastal ecosystems. Volunteers need NO prior experience, just a commitment to survey a specific beach (about ¾ mile) each month.

If you are interested in participating, join COASST staff for the training session. There is no charge to attend the training, but plan to provide a $20 refundable deposit if you would like to take home a COASST volunteer kit. Training activities take place indoors. Beach surveys are best conducted in groups of 2 or more – please come with a survey partner in mind or plan to join a team during training.
