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 and 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.
_________________________________________
We will meet at 10 am in the covered area outside the front doors to the store.
This is an indoors-outdoors location, depending on the weather. There are outdoor nursery sections, a further outdoor covered display area, and a large store with displays. For early birds: Watson’s opens at 9 am.

First Saturday, November 7: 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.
Inside the ceiling is very high which is better for ventilation. There is an overhang for outdoor sketching. The website indicates there is also a second story outdoor patio with views out to the water. Hopefully the Day of the Dead alters will still be on view.
Parking is free again.
Meet at 10 am outside the doors.

Please be respectful of customers.

Third Wednesday, November 18: Museum of Glass
1801 Dock St. Tacoma, WA 98402-3217
We will meet at 10 am on the Plaza near the Museum of Glass entrance (water-side). Beverly will be the host.
Sketch either inside the museum or outdoors around the museum.
For those who are not Museum members, there is a fee to enter. ($18 adults; $16 seniors 65+) If you have a library card, you can check out a free GLASS PASS (good for 2 adults for one week) at the Pierce County Library, the Puyallup Public Library, and the Tacoma Public Library. Call your local library to be sure there are passes available.
If you're a member and willing to bring guest passes, please do.
Inside the Museum are, of course, exhibits. However, some are closed for renovation. Ticket prices are reduced due to this closure. There is also the action of the Hot Shop!
