Shipwrecks, sirens and sex goddesses meet cannibalism, death and revenge. By Homer as adapted and performed by Charlie Bethel.


 

Oct. 10, The CoLab Small Business Symposium. A full-day of Free Coworking, small business workshops (including information about funding and marketing your business, legal tips and more), business support resources, networking and fun!   

   

Oct. 16 The Great Washington Shakeout Drill is planned for Oct. 16 at 10:16AM.

The tsunami sirens will go off for a full three minutes in hopes that will remind people to practice DROP, COVER and HOLD ON in the event of an earthquake. 
The nice part about this "drill" is that area residents don't have to get in their cars and go someplace to take part in this drill. You can DROP, COVER & HOLD ON at home or in your office.
 
Additional information can be found here  where participating individuals can register for this drill if they wish. Otherwise, the site can be a good source of additional information for people of all ages.  

 

Oct. 18, The Centrum Gala & Auction, an evening of fun, food and excitement in support of Centrum's programs!

Oct. 18, It's a Boiler Room Bingo Bash! Support The Boiler Room and WIN PRIZES--cash and merchandise! Doors open at 6 pm (at The Cotton Building), Bingo starts at 7 (possibility of a few early bird games at 6:45, we'll see...). $10 initial buy-in!

NEWS AROUND THE BLOCK! 

 

The Boiler Room is celebrating a successful first campaign by The Boiler Room Booster Club and is ready for the second prize offering! The Boiler Room Booster Club raises funds to support the successful operation of The Boiler Room. Membership tickets are $20 each, and will be entered into a series of membership drawings. Drawings for a $60 prize will be held at The Boiler Room every Thursday in October and November. A Grand Prize Winner of a $400 cash prize will be chosen from all tickets at The Boiler Room Annual Auction on December 6. Members may join throughout the drawing period, so chances of winning depend on the number of tickets sold at the time of each drawing. Every ticket is entered into every drawing and it is allowable to purchase more than one ticket. All monies raised will support The Boiler Room directly. Membership is for a six month period, and Booster Club Members will receive special recognition in The Boiler Room Zine.
