Anatomy education is preventative care!
The best way to keep everyone safe and healthy is to make sure we all have the language to talk about our anatomy. Participants will deepen their knowledge of reproductive anatomy by making anatomy collages while they hear “the story of the egg” and “the story of the sperm.” We will offer a show and tell about period care products so that everyone knows their options and the pros and cons of various methods. Participants will leave the program equipped with the knowledge to better advocate and care for their bodies.
Registration fees are $0 thanks to sponsorship from Grays Harbor Community Foundation.

The Museum of the North Beach will be hosting a book signing on Saturday, August 12 from 10am to 12 noon for Exploring Maritime Washington by author Erich Ebel.
Discover the popular destinations and hidden gems along Washington’s coastline, from the Mukilteo Lighthouse to the Wedding Rocks petroglyphs and beyond.
