Plug In To The Energy!

Living on an island, power outages happen. But that doesn't have to affect our energy! Combine an abundance of available caffeine with the creative juices and supportive spirit of our community, and you have a good idea of what The South Whidbey Commons is all about.

This week alone, here's what's going on at The Commons:
Wednesday, 3-5pm - Capturing the Holidays on Video - basic video skills to help you document your family & friend experiences.
Wednesday, 7-9pm - Artists' Forum - A multi-media artists gathering...meet, share, and encourage!
Thursday, 3-5pm - Commons' Crafts - An opportunity to get crafty with others as the holidays approach.
Thursday, 5-7pm - Cafe Español - Improve your conversational Spanish in this fun and informal gathering in The Backroom.
Friday, 7-9pm - Jessica Owen, Olympia acoustic singer-songwriter, in the Front Room for Friday Night Live!
Saturday, 2-4 pm - Brave New Words workshop for teens, designed to inspire and create poetry, spoken word and performance art events - with Swil Kanim, Native American Violinnist, Storyteller & poet, in The Backroom.
Sunday, 2-4pm - Lego Club, an informal opportunity for families to snag a Coffeehouse beverage and head to The Backroom to PLAY with a mondo pile of Lego pieces.
Sunday 7-9pm - Jim Page, playing The Front Room, for a special performance!

ALL of these incredible activities and performances are offered at no direct charge to you, and are open to people of ALL ages.

We do hope that while you're here, you'll support The Commons by purchasing gently used, quality books, an espresso or tea, and a freshly baked scone...but more than anything, we simply hope you plug in to all of this energy.

When we say "our programs," we are not claiming ownership as staff and volunteers here. Not at all! We're saying that everything that goes on here at The Commons belongs to "us" as in "our community."

So please, venture out, through wind, rain, snow (?!), and join US. Plug in. Recharge.
