2024-01-03 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Vancouver) | Third Place Commons
Writers of any experience level are welcome to join this inclusive, inspiring group. We employ a fun, no-pressure format: members create 6-words-or-less “start line” prompts to be used for 5, 10, and 15-minute writing sessions. The results are then read aloud to the group.
Meets every Wednesday in the central area on the main floor. Look for the stand-up sign at a central table.

Folichon Cajun - Live Music brought to you by Third Place Commons!
2024-06-08 19:00 - 21:00 (US/Pacific) | Third Place Commons Stage
While community transmission numbers remain low, we have updated our policy to allow dancing once again. Woo hoo! However, in light of the ongoing pandemic and still increasing infection rates, we ask for your help in keeping our community and staff safe.
Dancing is a high exertion activity that causes heavy breathing and in close proximity to others. In addition, we know that asymptomatic spread is common, especially among vaccinated individuals. Other activities like changing partners increase potential exposure further.
Many in our community are in vulnerable populations.
If you would like to dance, **please consider wearing a mask** to protect others and to minimize your own potential exposure.
Thanks for helping us keep our community safe. And now, enjoy the dancing!
Thank you to Merlone Geier and our community music sponsors.
