In February, Meaningful Movies Bellevue will screen Evergreen, from Bullfrog Films. In this film, we meet Marianne Edain and Steve Erickson, who have worked continually to retain the rural character and ecological diversity of Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, just north of Seattle. Through their organization Whidbey Environmental Action Network (WEAN), Edain and Erickson have monitored county applications for development and logging; challenged projects that violate state environmental law and led the way in science-based environmental public policymaking. In partnership with citizens and communities up and down Whidbey Island, they have helped keep trees standing and protected sensitive island ecosystems. Join us for this inspiring film and learn what is happening right here in Puget Sound to help protect our natural world. Plan to join via Zoom to find out what you can do to help support this work!

Are you interested in participating in an arts & crafts group at ESUC? Do you have an unfinished project that you would like to finish while connecting with the community? Do you love to sew, quilt, knit, crochet, embroider, paint, do calligraphy, make jewelry, and more? Would you like to teach or learn these skills? Let’s get together to have fun doing all the things that bring us joy and an opportunity to distress and build community. All ages welcome!
Please join us to discuss Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Her unusual approach to cooking proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy, because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook, she’s daring them to change the status quo.

Please join us for gardening activities on the East Shore grounds. We will be weeding and pulling ivy, pruning shrubs, and mulching with wood chips north of North Room, reworking the strawberry raised bed, relocating 2 small blueberry bushes, and removing moss from patio pavers, among other projects. Adults and youth (accompanied by an adult) are welcome to help out. If you would like, bring a sack lunch and come to our lunch at noon in the North Room when we can chat and discuss upcoming projects. Come for any amount of time to help out.
