September is here and it brings us cooler
nights, football games, and lots of great ac-
tivities at the Camano Center. Tickets are
now on sale and going fast for our 10th An-
nual Gala Auction on Saturday, September
24. Our decorating committee is busy plan-
ning the transformation of the Center for the
evening to “Havana Nights”. Cuban food
and drink will be offered as well as well as
some other little surprises. Adin Collver,
our catering director, has planned an amazing dinner for us. Great
items, great food and drink make for a great evening. Please join us at
this not to be missed event.

Also this month we have three musical concerts. The first concert will
be Tuesday, September 6 with Susan Pascal, a Seattle jazz vibraphon-
ist. September 14th features the renowned Mac Frampton on piano
from 7 to 9 pm. Mac is very entertaining and this promises to be a fun
filled evening of music. And the Julian Macdonough Dixie Louis
Armstrong Tribute Band will be playing on Wednesday, September 28.

This month is a great time to reconnect to the Center. Come join a
class, go on a trip, or join us for lunch. Volunteering is a great way to
meet new people and to get connected in the community. Consider
signing up here or at the thrift shop. As always thank you for support-
ing the Center and its important work through your membership renew-
als, volunteer work, and financial support.

Have a great month and come on in and get connected!!!

Solar energy potential dwarfs the potential
from every other energy resource on the
planet. (Note that, in the following chart, the
energy potential for renewables is annual en-
ergy potential, whereas the energy potential
from non-renewables is for total known re-

ergy in one hour than the entire world uses in
a whole year.
