In its fourth season, Stories@Latitude 56 enters a new phase of its evolution. The increasingly popular Story Slam--at the Creek Street Cabaret, on the second Tuesday of most months--now becomes the focal point of this storytelling enterprise, and the pool from which stories will be drawn for a season-ending finale: one night of the previous year's most compelling stories, as told by members of our community. Join us monthly for an evening of informal storytelling, and then in April for a collection of some of Ketchikan's best stories and storytellers--including, quite possibly, you!

The themes for this season are:

Oct 9 - Hold the phone
Nov 13 - Unintended Education
Dec 11 - Lost & Found
Jan 8 - Serendipity
Feb 12 - Where there's smoke, there's fire.
March 12 - Insider/Outsider

The Ketchikan Community Chorus meets each Tuesday from 7 to 9pm at the Presbyterian Church.

Join the nonprofits of Ketchikan as we discuss group projects, professional and organizational development opportunities, and advocacy!

Friday, January 11: Sailing the Mighty Pacific
Join Romanda Simpson, a Clipper Round the World Yacht Race '13/14 alumni, for stories of adventure on the high seas. Having never sailed before, Romanda jumped at the chance to learn the skill and join a race around the world via sailboat. She proceeded to sail over 12,000 miles in Leg 5 and 6 of the race, on a route that saw the crew navigate the waters from sunny Brisbane to sweltering Singapore, pushing on up to the frigid Qingdao, China and finally across the great Pacific to San Francisco. Through stories, pictures and videos, from the race she will share what it takes to be part of the race, offer up humbling tales of mountainous seas, lightning strikes, and brushes with nature.

Learn portraiture in a comfortable setting with your friends in this introductory class with artist Grace Freeman. Classes are $30 per student in advance or $40 the week of the class. Call early to reserved your spot!!! 907-225-2211
