PNW Climate Week Christmas Party

 Hi PNW CW Team,

     Emily and I are THRILLED to invite all you Seattleites to a special holiday meal together at our place.  We're excited to host you all for an evening of celebration and reflection!  Here are the details:

When:  6:00, Friday, December 5th

🫛🍹Food & Drink:
     One drink of your choice to share (local or sustainable options encouraged)
     1–2 tapas-style appetizers for dinner—we’ll provide dessert.

🌍 Your Story:  Bring a story that changed the way you view the world—specifically the natural world.  It might be:
     --a book, poem or passage (feel free to read an excerpt!)
     --a moment outside
     --something you witnessed
     --a person who reoriented or challenged you
     --an event or memory that still shapes how you show up for the planet
At the end of your story, you’ll offer a toast that highlights the core lesson or awakening from your experience.  Go deep with this one--we want to get to know one another better!

💃🕺🌲Dress Code: “Climate Chic”
Have fun with this one! Choose any of the following:
     Upcycled Elegance: Wear something you’ve thrifted, repaired, or rescued
     Trail-to-Table: Classy outdoor vibes—hiking boots with a blazer? Fleece with flair? Go for it.
     Monochrome Eco-Systems: Dress head-to-toe as one color inspired by a biome (forest
        green, ocean blue, soil brown, glacier white).
     Plant Power: Patterns with leaves, trees, flowers, or fungi.
     Any other creative idea that comes to mind.

Evening Guidelines
     1. Each person shares their book or story at any point they choose amidst the conversations
     2. Close your story by raising a glass to its key theme.
     And… the very last storyteller must sing the first two lines of their story. (We believe in
     climate courage!!💪💪)

Questions?  Let me know, and see you very soon!

My dumb dinosaur Christmas sweater fit the theme with this explanation: "I'm going with Extinction Chic- a reminder of what happens when the climate changes faster than species can adapt. Nothing says "protect the climate" like honoring the original cautionary tale- the dinosaurs."  Everyone else pretty much had on clothes that were thrifted and mostly in earth tones... but the T-rex was hilarious.
