GET REAL!
Details on Youth-Adult Dialogue #13:
"Get Real!"
There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch
(though there IS a free dinner - if you bring your own bowl, (plate?), cup, silverware and napkin). Otherwise we charge $1 for the dinner and wasteful paper and plastic implements.
Come to a youth-adult dialogue designed to better understand our connections to each other and to the world, to tell our truths and to GET REAL.

Vashon Cinema Society -- Roll 'Em!
The Vashon Cinema Society's goal is to expose the youth and adult community of Vashon island to cinema, one of the most educational and informative modern arts. Patrons are encouraged to treat the films as more then simple entertainment, and think about the cultural, moral, and political messages films have to offer. The next film is to be announced. Admission is free, donations are gratefully accepted, and refreshments are available. Contact Joe Sutton-Holcomb at 253-229-5481 or smotenathiest@gmail.com
