PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

REGARDING THE PLEASANT HARBOR RESORT, JANUARY 6TH, 6:30 PM AT

THE BRINNON SCHOOL

WE WANT TO DEDICATE THIS PAGE TO

THOSE WHO ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

IN OUR COMMUNITY .

Bill Barnet & Rick Meyer, Editors

Dear Editor,

Through our local food banks, schools and

churches the local World Vision’s Gift-in-

Kind program provides the Brinnon and

Quilcene communities with many items,

such as school supplies, personal items,

cleaning supplies, food bank and senior

meal provisions, clothing, toys and books.

Yearly memberships are necessary to par-

ticipate in this program along with local non

-profit sponsors. This year, both the Emer-

ald Towns Alliance and the Brinnon/

Quilcene Garden Club donated the funds for

two memberships as well as the use of their

non-profit status. The Brinnon Senior Or-

ganization, along with some very generous

Brinnon individuals also donated enough

funds that allowed us to once again pur-

chase a total of 6 membership in this amaz-

ing outreach program. Our GIK team ex-

tends to all our most heartfelt thank-you for

your continued support.

SPECIAL EVENT

Wednesday, Jan. 20th 6:30 PM

Inquiring Mind Lecture:

Seriously Funny: Humor, Film,

and Philosophy

Can films teach us about philosophy? Is what we feel while watching a film

linked to what we learn? Film holds

tremendous power to shape the

thoughts of audience members. Many types of films exist today, from the

deeply philosophic to the comedic. In

this unique take on philosophy, film and

comedy, Professor Mike

VanQuickenborne shares brief clips from Being John Malkovich, Intolerable

Cruelty and Adaptation to start a

conversation about philosophy and

explore the issues raised by each of these films. Audience members are

certain to leave the presentation with a

renewed interest.
