Upcoming Events

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Want to spread some love and hope in the world? Want to let some kids and teachers know they’re not alone or forgotten? Want to have fun doing it? Come join us on Saturday, October 19th upstairs at Browser’s Bookshop on 4th and Capitol!

Last month we sent out 60 post cards to students, residents, first responders, and shops affected by gun violence in Odessa, Dayton, and El Paso. Joining with #PostcardsForKindness we sent out messages of love and support to strangers who needed them, and we had fun doing it.

To us at SAO, this sounded like a golden “Help Often” opportunity! The folks at Browser’s have graciously given us their upstairs room, and we’re inviting anyone who wants to join us to write out postcards to the students of these community, and show them some PNW love! We ask people to bring their own postcards, or better yet, purchase some of the gorgeous postcards Browser’s sells by local artists to show off our beautiful home. SAO will take care of mailing the postcards Monday morning. If you’d like, we’d be happy to accept donations of 35-cent stamps for postage, or donations to cover postage. Or bring some baked goods or snacks to help fuel the postcard writers through our efforts. It’s a party! Bring friends! Bring postcards! Bring yourself! Let’s rain down some Washington love on our Texas and Ohio neighbors!

Join us for our last official Assembly of the year!

We will be welcoming SAO board Member, Jay Paulson, who will be speaking about his travel adventures!

Jay Paulson’s passion for fly-fishing has taken him to the far-flung corners of the world. This talk is not about fishing, but rather the experience of travel beyond the tour bus. Rafting a river in India, landing on a jungle airstrip built by drug dealers and standing on a beach where the only land south is Antarctica. Meeting the people of different countries and on their turf gives you a respect for lives very different from ours and yet very much the same.

Join us for our monthly Assembly where we build community together while finding new ways to Live Better, Help Often, and Wonder More!

Everyone is welcome to join us. There is a dedicated kids table for quiet play, arts, and crafts.

We look forward to seeing you there!

As always, will will be staying after Assembly for a little after-party drinks and food!
