Monthly Outings

Our monthly outings are usually the First Saturday, Second Thursday (Gig Harbor) and Third Wednesday. Also listed are any "ad hoc" outings planned (outside of the usual schedule). 

Be mindful of the COVID risk. Rates are coming down now though it's still with us.  Colds and flu are rising.  

Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test.  It could be a cold, flu, or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable.  Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it!
Thanks for taking care of each other.

First Saturday, 
  Nov 1: Point Ruston Public Market
 
 5101 Yacht Club Road, Ruston, WA 98407

The Public Market is above the main Point Ruston shopping area where we've sketched before. Think indoor farmers market with a variety of vendors.  There is an overhang for outdoor sketching.  

We've recently heard that parking is now free again. 

Meet at 10 am just outside the entry doors.
