Busy Week

It is not common for the Commons to not be busy...OK, that's a double negative. 

It is common for the Commons to be busy. There. That's better.

And this week provides no exceptions! Our AmeriCorps team is out in eastern Washington at the SERVES conference, so we're a little short staffed (volunteers, anyone?).

We're celebrating Veterans' Day on Thursday with a 20% discount on all food and beverages for anyone who has served in our military (watch for the coupon to show up today or tomorrow here and in our e-mail updates).

And Cafe Espanol returns to The Backroom on Thursdays from 5-7pm! Youth and adults alike will have fun learning together! The format is informal and conversational, but with a great local resource in your midst – Spanish speaker, Sonja Bricker *. Not only will you improve your Spanish language skills, but you’ll learn more about being a local AND global citizen as you rotate watching movies, playing games, and ordering food (all in Spanish, of course!).

The great thing about "busy" though, is that it offers you more ways to find your place at the Commons! 

So please, drop by this week. Yes, the coffee's on...and so are the eggnog chai lattes :)

See you soon!

This was followed by numerous bicycle and backpacking trips through Spain, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Chile, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua and Cuba. She received her Master's in Teaching in 2006 and currently teaches 2nd, 3rd and 4th year Spanish at the high school level.
