Please join the city in planting a downtown pollinator garden! We will install native plants from a Xerces Society Habitat Kit at the corner of SE 21st Avenue and Washington Street. Volunteers will chip in alongside city staff, who will demonstrate proper technique and safety before planting begins.
No gardening experience necessary. The city will supply all equipment including gloves, tools, and water. Please consider using alternative transportation and bring a reusable water bottle.
Space is limited. Families are encouraged to attend. The city asks volunteers to register by Wednesday, Nov. 4, using this link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/jNwmySB85f
The first Gather at Greely Friday. The Ridgefield Family Resource Center hosts a card-writing workshop for World Kindness Day. You write notes of encouragement, and they go into the snack bags the Resource Center sends home with local students. Free, family friendly, live music.
Join an afternoon with Grammy Award-winning soprano Audrey Luna. Audrey will give a masterclass with L&C and PSU students and present a lecture titled "The Business of Singing."

Bowles will also perform a free concert with the music of Schubert, Beethoven and Medtner as part of the Music @ Midday Series on Friday, November 6 from 12:15 p.m. to 1:05 p.m.
