The SPT Youth Program is proud to presents OSCAR WILDE’S THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

Seattle Public Theater
7312 W Green Lake Dr N
Seattle, WA 98103
Friday, June 21, 2013, 7pm

For its 10th Annual Senior Show the SPT Summer Youth Program is proud to present The Importance of Being Ernest, Oscar Wilde’s timeless farce of topsy-turvy romance, faked identities, and the sweet celebration of rapier wit.

Six [free] performances June 21, 22, 23, 28 and 29 at the historic Bathhouse Theater on Green Lake. Donations are encouraged, and go to support SPT’s Youth Scholarship Fund.

ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
In Wilde’s “Trivial comedy for serious people,” long-time pals Algernon and Jack invent false identities to save themselves from the drudgery of dreary social engagements. Complications arise when the two conspire to woo Gwendolen and Cecily. Both women want nothing more than the hand of a man named “Earnest”—conveniently enough the very name Jack took on to avoid public entanglements. With his inimical facility for language, Wilde skewers nearly every institution under the sun, from marriage and manners to aristocracy and economics. Come see why The Importance of Being Earnest still to speaks audiences as readily now as it did 100 years ago.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Performs Friday, June 21 @ 7pm, Saturday, June 22 @ 7pm, Sunday, June 23 @ 2pm, Friday, June 28 @ 7pm and Saturday, June 29 @ 2pm & 7pm.

Six [free] performances June 21, 22, 23, 28 and 29 at the historic Bathhouse Theater on Green Lake. Donations are encouraged, and go to support SPT’s Youth Scholarship Fund.

ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
In Wilde’s “Trivial comedy for serious people,” long-time pals Algernon and Jack invent false identities to save themselves from the drudgery of dreary social engagements. Complications arise when the two conspire to woo Gwendolen and Cecily. Both women want nothing more than the hand of a man named “Earnest”—conveniently enough the very name Jack took on to avoid public entanglements. With his inimical facility for language, Wilde skewers nearly every institution under the sun, from marriage and manners to aristocracy and economics. Come see why The Importance of Being Earnest still to speaks audiences as readily now as it did 100 years ago.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Performs Friday, June 21 @ 7pm, Saturday, June 22 @ 7pm, Sunday, June 23 @ 2pm, Friday, June 28 @ 7pm and Saturday, June 29 @ 2pm & 7pm.

Dynamic Adaptability 2.0

Monday, June 24, 2013, 9am – 12:30pm

How Do We Talk About The Public Value of the Arts?

Join us on June 24 at Town Hall from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm to explore how your organization, and the cultural sector as a whole, can make a better case for the public value of arts and culture.

Joining us to talk about what makes a successful appeal to public value:

Tom Schorgl from the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture in Ohio – leader of a successful 2006 campaign to pass a county-wide cigarette tax for arts and culture that yields over $17 million a year.
Sheila Smith from the Minnesota Citizens for the Arts — leader of a successful campaign to pass the largest state constitutional amendment for culture in the U.S., which provides arts, culture and heritage over $52 million a year.
Michael Rushton, Associate Professor and Director of the Arts Administration Program at Indiana University – an economist and public policy expert who specializes in the public value of the arts.

These speakers will share their experience with what works — and what doesn’t — in communicating about the value of culture in the context of campaigns for public funding. The lessons they will share are useful for any organization that wants to communicate more effectively with donors, audience members, and the general public.

We’ll also be joined by several local arts leaders including Jim Kelly from 4 Culture, Kris Tucker from the Washington State Commission on the Arts and a representative from the Cultural Access Fund, who will reflect on how we can apply these insights to strengthen the role of the arts in our local communities.

What is Dynamic Adaptability 2.0?
Dynamic Adaptability 2.0 complements and extends a series of four convenings that took place from February 2010 to January 2011 to support the cultural sector of the Puget Sound region. The original series was launched by a consortium of regional funders after a survey of cultural leaders in the region revealed a desire to gather with colleagues and discuss shared issues around navigating change. More information, including videos and materials from previous sessions, can be found here.

E-mail us if you'd like to be kept informed about future Dynamic Adaptability offerings.

Bainbridge Rotary Auction Preview

Woodward Middle School
9125 Sportsman Club Rd NE
Bainbridge Island, WA 98110
Friday, June 28, 2013, 5 – 8pm

Imagine over 6 acres of garage sale items: hundreds of bikes of all sizes, every color of baby clothes folded and arranged by size, rooms full of tested and sorted household items, antique furniture, bedroom furniture, vintage furniture and items. And on and on.

As in each year for the past 52 years, the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island is accepting donations from the community making this the prime time to clean closets, garages and storage areas. You can drop off your unwanted items starting Friday June 21 through Wednesday June 26, from 8 am to 8 pm each day. Volunteers will be on hand to help unload your vehicle and give you a tax receipt for your donations. The Club members recommend that you come early or late for best service.

The donations are organized by type. Electronic and powered items are tested, while other items are repaired and cleaned. Finally, the items are displayed for your shopping convenience. The result is what we believe to be the world's largest garage sale. We haven't heard of one larger.

From 8 am to 2 pm, Saturday June 29, Woodward Middle School is transformed into a shopper's paradise. You'll find vintage, antique or last year's model at wonderful prices. Snacks, hot dogs and pizza are also available. It is the social event of the year.

Here is the inside secret — if you would like a head start on your neighbors, or just have a fun evening with the Island community, make sure to attend the Auction Preview. You can get an early strategic view of what is going to be on sale on Saturday, plus an entry into a drawing for a $500 gift certificate from Town & Country Market or a $250 cash prize.

Proceeds from the Bainbridge Rotary Auction & Rummage Sale help build Island infrastructure such as parks and sports fields, dance floors and theater seats. The sale of donated items also funds grants to other non-profit organizations, provides college scholarships, drills wells in Uganda and provides sanitation equipment in Guatemala.

The Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island thanks you for your generous donations.

The SPT Youth Program is proud to presents OSCAR WILDE’S THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

Seattle Public Theater
7312 W Green Lake Dr N
Seattle, WA 98103
Saturday, June 29, 2013, 7pm

For its 10th Annual Senior Show the SPT Summer Youth Program is proud to present The Importance of Being Ernest, Oscar Wilde’s timeless farce of topsy-turvy romance, faked identities, and the sweet celebration of rapier wit.

Six [free] performances June 21, 22, 23, 28 and 29 at the historic Bathhouse Theater on Green Lake. Donations are encouraged, and go to support SPT’s Youth Scholarship Fund.

ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
In Wilde’s “Trivial comedy for serious people,” long-time pals Algernon and Jack invent false identities to save themselves from the drudgery of dreary social engagements. Complications arise when the two conspire to woo Gwendolen and Cecily. Both women want nothing more than the hand of a man named “Earnest”—conveniently enough the very name Jack took on to avoid public entanglements. With his inimical facility for language, Wilde skewers nearly every institution under the sun, from marriage and manners to aristocracy and economics. Come see why The Importance of Being Earnest still to speaks audiences as readily now as it did 100 years ago.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Performs Friday, June 21 @ 7pm, Saturday, June 22 @ 7pm, Sunday, June 23 @ 2pm, Friday, June 28 @ 7pm and Saturday, June 29 @ 2pm & 7pm.

The Olympic Music Festival begins its 30th season of Concerts in the Barn on Saturday, June 29th. Join us for world-class chamber music on our 55-acre farm - an idyllic setting halfway between Chimacum and Quilcene. The restored 100-year old dairy barn sets the perfect stage for a relaxed, casual appreciation of some of the world's best classical music, performed by artists who represent nearly seven decades of excellence in musicianship. World-class artists performing world-class music! Bring a picnic and spend the stroll around the farm before the concert begins at 2PM. Seating is in the barn on up-cycled padded church pews or haybales (bring a blanket!) or outside on the lawn where the music is broadcast through speakers. Either way, it is a day to relax and enjoy!

3rd Annual Goatalympics

Evergreen State Fairground
14405 179th Ave SE
Monroe, WA 98272
Saturday, July 6, 2013, 9am – 5pm

A festive, free, family-friendly event, the Goatalympics is ridiculously fun! Come watch goats and their people compete in foot races, obstacle courses and more. Take your guess as to who will win Best Trick, Most Spots, Longest Beard and other exciting contests. Vote in the People’s Choice Awards for Adult and Youth costume contests. Last year we saw attendance double with approximately 200 spectators and 64 participants who showed 71 goats. Ages of contestants ranged from 4 to 64. “We’ve been training for the Goatalympics for months – bring on the competition!” – Shelly, adult competitor

The 2013 Goatalympics is not your typical livestock event. Rather than focus on conformation and production, as seen at a typical County Fair, the Goatalympics is all about having fun with pet goats. It’s a chance for people to show off their ruminants’ skills, with events ranging from obstacle courses and races to costume and stall decorating contests. Last year’s “Best Costume” – “Beach Bums” was a sight to see! In addition to goat contests, there will be a mega-raffle and silent auction. Of course, there will be adorable, adoptable goats for people to meet. Several photographers will be on site as well, covering the fun from every angle and photos will be available for purchase online after the event.

A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, New Moon Farm is excited about the success of the Goatalympics, their largest fundraiser of the year. Since 1999, New Moon Farm has taken in, rehabilitated and found loving homes for over 1,200 goats. As the only goat rescue in Snohomish County, NMF takes in animals from private individuals, as well as working regularly with Animal Control agencies from across the state. Animals have come to NMF from as far as California and Idaho. All animals are seen by a veterinarian, and receive all necessary medical care before being made available for adoption. In addition to caring for these animals, New Moon Farm strives to promote compassion and respect for all living creatures through a presence in the community and by offering educational opportunities. With an operating budget of approximately $70,000 per year, New Moon Farm is funded completely by public donations. There is no county, state, or federal funding for large animal rescue. In addition to being a fun celebration of goats, the Goatalympics helps to raise money for the goat rescue and raise awareness of the New Moon Farm organization. The event is open to anyone who loves animals! Please visit www.newmoonfarm.org for more details.

TruAthlete

Starfire Sports (Sounders practice facility)
14800 Starfire Way
Seattle, WA 98188
Saturday, July 27, 2013

Calling all sports enthusiasts! You and your friends looking for the next 5k or event in the Seattle area? Look no further. TruAthlete is the ultimate tri-sport event taking place Saturday July 27th at Starfire (Sounders practice facility). The event was created on the idea that a "true" athlete should be defined by someone that can take on any sport. Tiger Woods is great with a 9 iron, but can he throw a baseball? Football players can run, throw, and make some amazing catches - but can they accurately pass a soccer ball? We're looking for people with the ability to use both their hands AND their feet - the TruAthlete.

How it works is you create a team of 7-10 of your friends, co-workers, family members - whatever the connection. Must be at least 18 years of age, and at least 3 girls on team and to remain on field at all times. If you do not have the minimum 7 people - dont' panic. Register individually and we'll hook you up with another team in need. There are 2 divisions - division 1 for the more competetive, blood thirsty group - and division 2 for the more relaxed "just want to go have a good time" bunch. You'll battle it out against other registrants playing 3 sports - flag football, volleyball and soccer. Cash prize for the winner, and crowned the TruAthlete.

If competing really isn't your thing, but you want to check out the event, meet some cool people and watch some sports - we'll have general admission with live music, beer garden, wine tasting - and even stuff for the kids!

Visit [url]www.thetruathlete.com[/url] to register today! Team captains enter code "capn1" and your registration is FREE - this weekend ONLY! Free Agents and team players receive $5 off registration when you enter "bewm1". Prices WILL go up the longer you wait - so what are you waiting for?!This is our first event - come make it epic!

Are YOU a TruAthlete?! Prove it.

Arts in Nature Festival

Camp Long
5200 35th Ave SW
Seattle, WA 98126
Saturday, August 10, 2013

After a one-year hiatus, the Arts in Nature Festival returns to Camp Long on August 10-11 with indie rockers Cloud Cult to headline. The Festival is an eclectic, multidisciplinary experience of music, dance, interactive arts, and sound in the woods of Seattle’s only campground. Festival-goers can experience works ranging from jazz, classical, indie rock, bluegrass, contemporary dance, marching bands, fire & wandering performances, and interactive sound installations.

Camp Long’s rustic cabins will house the Museum of Sound where artists will take up residency for the weekend creating multidisciplinary installations blending sound, auditory arts, music and visual arts. The cabins meander through the forested outer perimeter of the park and festival goers will have the opportunity to enter and explore each cabin. Most of the cabins will have a hands-on component allowing attendees to interact with the artists’ work.

Festival goers will also be able to participate in art activities, a ropes challenge course, writing workshops and open mics, knitting and fiber arts, hikes through the forest, and naturalist activities.

One unique thing that Arts in Nature attendees will notice is that, aside from delicious local food, there will be no large booths of vendors trying to sell them anything. The Festival experience is one centered on interaction rather than transaction.

Seattle's Original Coffee Crawl

Meet at Hammering Man | Seattle Art Museum
Seattle, WA
Thursday, August 22, 2013, 10am – 12:30pm

Our signature tour, devoted exclusively to coffee–the FIRST of its kind in Seattle, enjoyed by visitors from as far away as New Zealand and as nearby as next door. Seattle is home to the world’s largest concentration of coffee roasters (more than 70) and it’s the birthplace of the world’s dominant purveyor of coffee drinks.
Best of all, we will sample a variety of blends, roasts and brews at some of the city’s best-loved coffee houses. This tour is more than coffee…we walk through several different downtown districts and visit some of downtown’s most impressive towers, buildings and views.

The Chocolate Box Experience is a scenic luxury van tour of Seattle's chocolate stops, including Chocolate Box near Pike Place Market and the Theo Chocolates factory in Fremont. The tour begins at Chocolate Box, where participants enjoy a cup of hot chocolate from Chocolat Vitale, along with a overview of how cacao is grown and lessons on fine chocolate eating etiquette.

The chocolate tour continues with a trip to Theo Chocolates in Fremont, where guests learn how chocolate is made and try samples of Theo's bars. Finally, the trip concludes back at Chocolate Box and participants make their own chocolate treats while learning how to temper chocolate and dip confections. All guests receive their own custom chocolate bar, a thank-you bag of chocolate samples, and a gift coupon for Simply Seattle, a souvenir and gift store next to Chocolate Box.
