Hope for the Howlidays @ Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County
Dec 31 all-day

Every year, thousands of shelter pets spend the holidays alone, longing for a forever home. We know you can’t adopt all of them, but you can still make a profound difference for animals in need at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. While dogs, cats, and critters wait for their new families, you can let these fur babies know they haven’t been forgotten by sponsoring them during this festive time of year!

During this event, you can sponsor a shelter pet to bring comfort and joy to a homeless pet and also provide the food, safe housing, and medical care they need while they wait for their forever home.

Sponsor a shelter pet today!

Tacoma Arts Live presents: GROUNDED, by George Brant. @ Theater on the Square
Feb 18 @ 7:30 pm

Confronted with the love of flying mixed with the challenge of fighting a war, female F-16 fighter pilot becomes pregnant. The Air Force grounds her from flying and reassigns her to the drone program in Nevada. Piloting remotely does not sit well. Mothering brings new connection and insight. She struggles to compartmentalize her existence as her two realities as Mother and Pilot become increasingly permeable. From the award-winning playwright George Brant. Performance contains adult language and themes. For complete performance schedule, visit website.

Seed Paper class @ Payette's School of Dance
Feb 24 @ 6:30 pm

Make your own Seed Paper
Spring will be here soon (hopefully). So join us for this fun class making your very own seed paper! Seed paper is fun to make and easy to grow. You can use your paper as a card or gift for a plant loving friend, or use it to grow your own wildflower garden. Choose from a variety of paper colors and seeds to make your very own unique creation. Paper takes at least 24 hours to dry, so please plan on either coming back to the studio to pick up your finished creation, or bring a towel and box to transport it home while wet. $10/person. Includes all supplies needed to make several sheets of seed paper to take home. Learners may make as many sheets as time allows.
