  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;She will receive an email with the subject line&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Event Registration Confirmed.&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#222222"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Please check daily – it could arrive anytime up to the event&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;. The host gets a copy too.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you are waitlisted and cannot attend, &lt;span&gt;please remove yourself from the waitlist&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;so the next person on the list can move up.

Waitlist events display with a 'Remove' link under the Status column. After removing yourself from the waitlist, you and the event host will receive cancellation notices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hosts:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;We recommend you text the people who move up from the waitlist to be sure they've seen the notice and can still attend.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Around the Sound | Food Lifeline Volunteer (Saturday, May 02, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Around the Sound |&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Volunteering at Food Lifeline&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Volunteers are needed for an afternoon working at the Food Lifeline facility near White Center. This is a terrific opportunity for our group to contribute some time and physical effort towards providing food and food related products for the less fortunate. You will spend approximately 2 hours on your feet sorting or repacking food goods. If you haven't done it before, it is a fun camaraderie building event! Close-toed shoes are required and layered clothing recommended as it can be a little cold in the warehouse. To learn more about this valuable organization visit it their website &lt;a href="http://foodlifeline.org" target="_blank" style=""&gt;foodlifeline.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will combine an afternoon of volunteer work with an early dinner at Jack's BBQ in SODO (separate checks will be provided).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#3598C1" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW TO REGISTER: IN TWO STEPS!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000"&gt;1. Required Steps to volunteer at Food Lifeline:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000"&gt;Each individual is required to register through: &lt;a href="https://vhub.at/FLLAroundtheSound" target="_blank"&gt;Food Lifelines Team Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000"&gt;If you've participated before, you can use the same log in information.&amp;nbsp; If you have never volunteered there, you will need to create an account.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000"&gt;Registration closes 12 days before the event - unfilled spots will be released at that time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000"&gt;The event begins promptly at 1:00 pm. Arrive 15 mins prior for check in.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000"&gt;Team members that arrive 15 mins after the event has begun will need to reschedule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000"&gt;2. Confirm your Registration on the Newcomers calendar&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Get Fit and Hike | Primrose Trail Loop via Coal Creek Trail (Monday, May 04, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Fit and Hike |&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Primrose Trail Loop via Coal Creek Trail&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please join fellow hikers on this 3.5 mile trail/loop near Newcastle, Washington. Generally considered an easy route (with some minor hills, it takes an average of 2 hours to complete).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will follow Coal Creek while making a few crossings of the creek via wooden bridges. Along the way you will also pass by Sand Stone Falls, one of Coal Creeks tributaries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Primrose Loop is named after a coal seam that was mined in the 1800's. While nature has covered up almost all traces of the mining activities there are a few artifacts that can be spotted along the trail.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please wear hiking boots or other sturdy footwear .&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;There is a parking area near the Red Town Trailhead. Here you will also find bathrooms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will meet on the parking lot at Red Town Trailhead off Lakemont Blvd.SE&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;After our hike we will go for lunch at noon at Tapatio Mexican Grill, 6920 Coal Creek Pkwy SE, Newcastle, WA 98059. Tel: 425-747-0477.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please keep in mind that the restaurant will only accept 4 credit card payments for the group, and they prefer to be paid in CASH. If paying by credit card please combine several payments on one credit card and Venmo each other the amount.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Register Online:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Engage for Change | North Helpline Food Bank Volunteer (Wednesday, May 06, 2026)</title>

As food insecurity and housing instability surged across North Seattle, our community has stepped up. Between July 2024 and June 2025, North Helpline provided over 50,000 food bank visits to more than 13,000 neighbors, distributed 3.5 million pounds of food, and kept hundreds of families housed through emergency financial assistance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Members will be working in the food bank. You will be assigned to a station along the line. You distribute items according to the rules as people move through the line. You're trained in at the beginning of the shift, and then help with clean-up at the end. They also might have us help with restocking the line or running grocery carts to the peoples' cars and back.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Living on the Hedge | Windcliff Plants (Tuesday, May 19, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Windcliff Plants&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;On a south-facing bluff in Indianola sits a botanical “salad bowl” known as Windcliff. A garden mixture of plants from around the world, it houses a diverse array of species. Plants from China and Vietnam are well represented but South African species especially love the climate and populate the garden, much like loading a salad with lots of croutons.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;The creation of globe-trotting plant collector Dan Hinkley and husband Robert Jones, Windcliff is the latest chapter in Hinkley’s botanical odyssey that began with his master’s degree in urban horticulture from the University of Washington. Decades of collecting and propagating combined with a love of plant diversity are the framework of Windcliff.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;em&gt;*** Please note that directions include a ferry ride.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;Please find complete information about the nursery on the internet at &lt;a href="http://danieljhinkley.com" target="_blank"&gt;danieljhinkley.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Storytelling Salon (Tuesday, May 26, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storytelling Salon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building Access:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parking Options:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Carpooling is recommended.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>All Things French | Napoleon &amp; the Bee: What’s the Story? (Wednesday, May 27, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All Things French | Napoleon &amp;amp; the Bee:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s the Story?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bring a French-inspired salad and join us for lunch to find out!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;A tiny symbol, a big story--and a lovely excuse to gather. This get-together is inspired by Bridget’s Tante Paulette, a cherished French family friend who once served drinks in weighty glass tumblers stamped with Napoleon’s bees. That small detail sent us down a delightful rabbit hole. We’ll share a bit of this history and explore how the bee still appears in French decorative arts today.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;What to Bring: A French-inspired salad to share, we’ll have baguettes, dessert, and pitchers of lemon water—simple, fresh, and very French.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>History Walks | stubus Indigenous Walking Tour (Wednesday, June 03, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;stubus Indigenous Walking Tour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;The stubus Indigenous Walking Tour consists of sixteen sites featuring indigenous art and landmarks throughout the Edmonds Bowl. Stubus (stoh’-boos) is the Lushootseed word for Point Edwards bluff, a prominent landmark that guided canoe travelers to the original Edmonds marsh, a location rich with natural resources and starting point for a vast regional trail system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is usually a self-guided tour – however – we are so pleased that Diana White, an enrolled member of Prairie Band Potawatomi, has volunteered to be our guide. Diana is one of the team members who created the tour, which debuted on indigenous peoples day 2025.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Printed booklets including a map will be given at the start of the tour, which is about two miles long and takes roughly 90 minutes to complete. Some hills, mostly flat city terrain.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;After coffee, you’re on your own to have lunch in the Banquet Room (you can sign up for the lunch program), buy a snack at Common Grounds, and/or take a walk along the waterfront. Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day. Walk on fees are $5.10 for seniors (65 &amp;amp; over), $10.25 for younger folks.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Get Fit &amp; Hike | Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park (Thursday, June 18, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Fit &amp;amp; Hike |&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join your fellow Newcomer hikers on May 18 as we venture over to the Kitsap Peninsula for a hike in the woods at Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park. Port Gamble is one of Washington’s oldest non-Native settlements and it appears that you might just be in New England! The town was settled by two Maine lumbermen, Andrew Pope and William Talbot, who, with partners Josiah Keller and Charles Foster, formed the Puget Mill Company. Due to a shortage of lumber workers in the area, they recruited mill workers from Maine, and constructed buildings in the New England style of the time to help ward off homesickness. Eventually, the mill recruited workers from the local S’Klallam tribe, and became a source of lumber worldwide. This mill became the longest continuously working lumber mill in North America. When it closed in 1995, it had been in operation for 142 years. In 1966, Port Gamble was declared a National Historical Landmark.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park is located just outside of the historic village, 15 minutes from the Kingston Ferry terminal, and has an extensive network of multi-use trails. There are over 60 miles of trails and forest roads in the woods traversing ~3900 acres. The singletrack and dirt paths travel through the dense Pacific Northwest forest. We'll walk Secret Squirrel and Beaver Trail loops, a total of approximately 5.25 miles, which should take approximately 2 hours to complete. For anyone who wants a shorter walk, there is a simple "bail out option" down a main forest road back to the car park, making a 2.5 mile loop. Hopefully the foxglove and other wildflowers will be blooming in profusion at this time; if so, we have an option to take a trail through a former clear-cut area to make the most of the show, which would extend the distance to 5.4 miles. Elevation gain is approximately 500 feet; most of the trail is gentle, with one short section of switchbacks going up and a short steep downhill section. Some hikers may want to use poles for these brief sections. Boots are not essential, but trail shoes with a good sole are strongly recommended, particularly if it has been wet.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;After the hike, we have the option to have lunch at &lt;a href="http://butcherandbakerprovisions.com" target="_blank"&gt;Butcher and Baker Provisions&lt;/a&gt; in town. They serve coffees, delicious homemade cakes/cookies/pastries, breakfasts salads, sandwiches, and entrees, and have indoor and covered outdoor seating. The portions can be large, but everything is delicious.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The town of Port Gamble is very quaint with some lovely gift and art shops, a small museum, theater, wedding venue and cemetery. There are also incredible views across Gamble Bay and Hood Canal, where the occasional Navy ship/sub or whale can be spotted. A walk around the town from the Butcher and Baker parking lot is approximately 0.5 miles.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Note: A ferry is required for this event! Preferred option is Washington State Ferries Edmonds-to-Kingston departing at 8:50 am, arriving at approximately 9:20. This should get walkers to the trailhead around 9:45.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Register Online:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost:&lt;/strong&gt; Ferry fare and lunch to be paid individually&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration deadline:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Saturday, June 13&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parking:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Park in the car park. If the car park is full, just across the road is another parking area called Bayview Trailhead Shore, Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park. Carpooling is strongly recommended. There is a porta-loo at the trailhead but hikers may want to use the restrooms on the ferry.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Event host&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;for questions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:kcolepit@yahoo.com" target="_blank"&gt;Kathleen Cole&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Storytelling Salon (Tuesday, June 23, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storytelling Salon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building Access:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parking Options:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Carpooling is recommended.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Engage for Change | Volunteer Event at Kubota Garden (Friday, June 26, 2026)</title>

We will have a short private tour in advance of the work event to learn about the history of the Garden (or other topics of interest) and provide context for the volunteer effort. All equipment, tools and gloves will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Exact tasks will be determined by the gardener but could be a range of garden maintenance projects, likely weeding or mulching garden beds. If you like, bring a sack lunch and we can have lunch together in the garden after the event. There are several picnic tables.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;After coffee, you’re on your own to have lunch in the Banquet Room (you can sign up for the lunch program), buy a snack at Common Grounds, and/or take a walk along the waterfront. Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day.

      <title>Storytelling Salon (Tuesday, July 28, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storytelling Salon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building Access:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parking Options:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Carpooling is recommended.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Storytelling Salon (Tuesday, August 25, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storytelling Salon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building Access:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Carpooling is recommended.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bring your own morning beverage or buy a coffee at EWC’s Common Grounds coffee bar.

      <title>Storytelling Salon (Tuesday, September 22, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storytelling Salon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building Access:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parking Options:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Carpooling is recommended.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;After coffee, you’re on your own to have lunch in the Banquet Room (you can sign up for the lunch program), buy a snack at Common Grounds, and/or take a walk along the waterfront. Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day. Walk on fees are $5.10 for seniors (65 &amp;amp; over), $10.25 for younger folks.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Storytelling Salon (Tuesday, October 27, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 16.0016px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF8357" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storytelling Salon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#3598C1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building Access:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;After coffee, you’re on your own to have lunch in the Banquet Room (you can sign up for the lunch program), buy a snack at Common Grounds, and/or take a walk along the waterfront. Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bring your own morning beverage or buy a coffee at EWC’s Common Grounds coffee bar.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;After coffee, you’re on your own to have lunch in the Banquet Room (you can sign up for the lunch program), buy a snack at Common Grounds, and/or take a walk along the waterfront. Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day.
