Dessert Potluck at Larson Gallery with Ken ”Casey” Stenehjem, the Puppet Man
2024-03-26 18:30 - 20:00
Tuesday March 26 Dessert Potluck at Larson Gallery with Ken ”Casey” Stenehjem, the Puppet Man-Please join us 6:30-8:00 pm and enjoy Ken “Casey” Stenehjem’s passion for puppets! He has been a puppet fancier and collector since he was a 4th grader in Colville Public schools. He has studied with puppet geniuses, taught puppet classes, and performed with the Yakima Symphony. Casey has 950 puppets in his collection (from 3” to 8 feet tall) and will accompany himself with around 25 puppets at the potluck, enabling him to show construction techniques, various kinds, and examples from his student classes. The puppets will be passed around the group so attendees can try them on, manipulate them, give them voice.

Join us for a wonderful evening of delight and learning! Bring fruit or dessert to share (keep it simple), or just come and enjoy coffee, tea, or buy yourself a class of wine and benefit the Larson Gallery.
Larson Gallery 1606 W. Nob Hill Blvd.

10AM Walking Group- Kissel Park-Open to all!
2024-04-26 10:00 - 11:00
A Walk or a stroll is walk or a stroll or is it?
We’ve been told about the physical benefits of walking – losing weight, lowering blood pressure, reducing anxiety, improving conditioning etc., but YSNN FRIDAY WALKS provide not only that, but much more. It’s the touchstone, the “place” we meet, and for most of us who have been participating for the last three years it’s where we check in with friends. Some of us walk solo, some of us like to walk with a group or with a partner who goes our speed/pace. It’s the “place” where everybody knows your name. Join us Fridays at 10am (new starting time in November ) at Kissel Park, 3000 W. Mead. (509) 853-1917

Ed Stover-Got a yen to tell a tale?
If so, you’re invited to attend the next gathering of the Yakima and Selah Neighbors’ Network StoryShare group. Too shy to talk about yourself? Well, if you’re the reticent type, listen to some of your fellow YSNN members and supporters who’ve been attending the monthly meetings since they were started four years ago.” It’s about remembering,” says Pam Perryman. “Being asked to write about something is like a trigger. One memory leads to the next. It’s like magic!” Linda Brown says writing down and/or telling personal stories about first-hand experiences we had long ago, or even more recently, yields information that can be useful to others.” It’s history that you’re passing down to your children,” said Brown. Perryman agrees: “These are things my kids don’t know.” Mary Lou Rozdilsky says her daughter has asked about collecting her stories as part of the family history. And member Deborah Ann has a regular archive that she keeps of the many experiences she has had in her life. Both Brown and Perryman also write poetry, which they share with their children and grandchildren with mixed results. Brown says her kids tend to relate more to stories than poems. But Perryman believes her grandchildren do appreciate her verse. The StoryShare group got its start four years ago at the suggestion of YSNN member Charles Chesney. The first few meetings were held in donated space at the Yakima Valley

On July 2 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the West Valley Community Park, 1323 S 80th Ave. We are welcoming summer with fun and games at a POTLUCK PICNIC

Bring a dish to share – snacks, finger foods, salad, main dish, dessert . . . whatever appeals to you – or just bring yourself. We always have plenty of food.
Please bring your own plate and utensils if you can so we can avoid single use items.
Consider inviting a friend to join – our picnics are a great opportunity to introduce them to YSNN and all we have to offer.
We will gather at the large covered area near the parking lot off of 80th, so there will be shade and picnic tables; bring a chair if sitting at a picnic table isn’t comfortable for you.
Lawn and board games will be available or just enjoy the pleasant company.
