Ukulele Kanikapila with Kathy Collister @ Orcas Senior Center (Thursdays, 1-3 p.m.)

Join the Kanikipila, Hawaiian for “play music,” led by Kathy Collister every Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Orcas Senior Center. Kathy started a similar group a couple of years ago and she is back! The first half-hour will be a lesson or two and then from 1:30 to 3 p.m., everyone will have the opportunity to play. A rock-and-roller at heart, Kathy has been playing for about a decade and as a lover of all types of music, she would love to introduce you to the joys of making your own. All levels of ukulele expertise are welcome but, as per Kathy’s request, please be prepared to show your vaccination card at your first session. Masks and distancing are required at Orcas Senior Center. All are welcome and there is no fee to attend. For inquiries, please contact Kathy at kcollister15@gmail.com.

Orcas Socrates Café @ Orcas Senior Center by Zoom: Sunday, March 13, 4-6 p.m.

Orcas Senior Center continues to virtually host the Orcas Socrates Café from 4 to 6 p.m. on the second Sunday of each month. It’s an opportunity to engage in an open discussion on philosophical perspectives. This is not a book club, but rather a conversation, based on the book Socrates Café: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy by Christopher Phillips. Each month will offer a new discussion topic, where everyone will be encouraged to exchange philosophical perspectives based on personal experiences. Past topics have included: What is the purpose of wealth and what is enough wealth? Is there a time when common good takes precedence over personal freedom?

We hope you will be compelled to join this friendly community discussion which is sure to encourage insightful dialogue. Register with Michel Vekved at michel@orcasseniors.org.
