This Week
Olympic Peninsula Timebank Tri-Area Group Meeting – Mon, Apr 27th
What is a timebank? Learn, ask questions, hear stories about successful timebank exchanges, and meet new friends and neighbors. Eat yummy snacks. Share some laughs. If you live or work in Port Hadlock, Chimacum, Port Ludlow, Marrowstone Island, Quilcene, or Brinnon, this is your group!
Timebank members give an hour of help doing something they enjoy. This earns them an hour which they may use to receive help from other members. One hour equals one hour; no contribution is ranked above another. Exchanges build trust and connections in our community. Questions? Call, text or email Sharon Rader at 970.903.3586 or send email.
Time: 5:30 – 6:30pm | Location: the Humphrey Room, Jefferson County Library, Port Hadlock
Community Dream Circle – Tue, Apr 28th
Join Lilac & Fig for a welcoming, reflective evening exploring the wisdom of dreams. Share, listen, and gently engage the symbols and messages that arise in the dreamscape. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and an open mind. Participants are invited to bring a dream journal (if they have one) and anything that helps them feel comfortable in a circle setting. These circles are rooted in connection, insight, and the understanding that our dreams often speak in ways our waking minds cannot.
Cost: $10 at the door (cash or Venmo)
Time: 6 – 8pm | Location: Quimper Grange, Port Townsend

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.
