SUMMARY:New Home Work Party
DESCRIPTION:Want to help the AltLib and aren’t quite sure how? Come join AltLib volunteers for a work party to help prep our interim home! \nWhen: Sunday\, Dec. 1\, 11:00am\nWhere: 1309 Billy Frank Jr Street (the old pottery studio)\nWhat to wear: Sturdy clothes for moving! Denim\, gloves and boots recommended.\nBring your own sack lunch! \nWhy: December’s upon us\, and we’ve gotta be out of the Karate Church by the 20th! We’re in the process of negotiating and signing a short-term lease with the owners of the old pottery studio on Billy Frank Jr. Street. The owners want to tear the building down\, but the permitting process will take a minimum of 9 months\, and we plan to continue our search for a more permanent home from there. They’re giving us access to the building throughout December so we can clear the space and have the Library up and running by the start of the lease in January. \nWhat to expect: The pottery studio is still full of remnants — tables\, clay\, and all sorts of odds and ends. We’ll spend the day clearing out old debris and cleaning the space so it’s ready for repairs and a fresh layer of paint! We’ll provide cleaning supplies\, rags\, tools\, and direction\, and we hope you’ll bring the energy and good vibes! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Suicide Prevention & Awareness Benefit Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:Come and dance your heart away with a few amazing local DJs while supporting an important cause!

This event is all about the celebration of life and acceptance & appreciation of one another and ourselves! \nContributing to this benefit\, there will be a licensed massage therapist set up and taking donations to give 5-10 minute upper body massage. Touch is something we need as humans\, and since we are often very isolated\, the simple act of personal massage can be incredibly beneficial to both mental and physical health. \nIn honor of the benefit\, there will also be a raffle drawing for a 60-minute Empowerment and Wellness Coaching Session with Victoria Mantzoros of Inspiration Unleashed Coaching. Oftentimes\, the help we need can be as simple as setting a plan and following reminders for ourselves\, or just having a cheerleader by your side to help you keep to your commitments. Her sessions are impactful\, compassionate\, and full of wisdom. \nTo keep us dancing all night\, we have the following featured artists: \nDJ Tru-ah [Joshua Hale]\nMultigenre Dance / Dub & Bass\nMusic: https://soundcloud.com/harmonicflowyoga/tracks\nWith a potent sense of grace and fluidity\, DJ Tru-ah travels through a nuanced landscape of posture\, strength\, and balance.

The sound waves inhabit a world where the spiritual connects to the sensual\, an inspiring realm of music and bliss. \nMetaPhysical [Ben Towers]\nPsyDub / PsyBass\nMusic: https://soundcloud.com/djbentowers/tracks\nMetaphysical is an American DJ and producer from Snohomish whose outlook on electronic music has changed profoundly over the last couple of years. His intention has changed in the way of making music that focuses on the frequencies and harnessing the raw power that music is medicine. His otherworldly musical flow will have you feeling like you’re in a spiritual experience\, meditation through movement can be expressed beautifully to his sounds. \nwinzlo [Phillip Nguyen]\nChill Dance / Electronic\nMusic: https://soundcloud.com/winslomusic/tracks\nWinzlo is an American DJ and producer from Bellingham whose subdued charm shines through in his vibrant mixes that embody the upbeat rhythms of house and grimey bass drops of trap that come together in harmony through his endless flow.

With things looking up for the young and upcoming producer\, he’s ready to bring his season onto the night wherever he roams. \nRSVP and more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/884689001913337/
