This Week
TLAB Meeting – Mon, Aug 25th
The Transportation Lab is a Local 20/20 Action Group working to promote a transportation system that minimizes need for personal motor vehicles. Such a transportation system must be safe, convenient and healthy, and it must be based on: people walking, the most healthful mode; people bicycling, the most efficient mode; mass transit, the most efficient for moving large numbers of people; and private vehicles for providing services and moving small numbers of people. In person, monthly on the fourth Monday. Contact by email for location or other information.
Time: 4:30 – 6pm | Location: Send email for info.

Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation practices – Sun, Aug 31st
Over forty years of scientific research around practicing these meditations has proven that the human mind has “neuroplasticity”, meaning: with practice we can change our outlook and attitude and see the resulting changes in our body: less fatigue, more energy and the ability to feel more balanced, even in hard times. This 2 hour introduction from Olympic Peninsula Mindfulness is offering a taste of these simple practices to help you understand and experience some of the methods and insights inherent in mindfulness to reduce the chronic stressors in life. Fee: $30. Learn more and register here.
Time: 12 – 2pm | Location: Online via Zoom
Calling Local Photographers!
Local 20/20 Weekly Announcements invites local photographers to submit images that capture the character of our community and its natural setting. For the opening photo of each weekly email (which is also posted to our website), we seek local color, horizontal (“landscape”) orientation, and jpeg format. Please no children, pets, or recognizable faces. Kindly email your photos, including your name in the jpeg filename. If you’re sending multiple images, please send one per email. We are an all-volunteer non-profit, so compensation for your talent and generosity is a photo credit and our profound thanks.
