As war rages in one of the cradles of Yiddish culture, we join together to sing the songs and tell the stories of our shared homeland. In this program Klezmer musicians and Yiddish singers bring us this diverse repertoire of songs and tunes to paint a picture of Jewish life in Ukraine and stand in solidarity with our friends fighting for their freedom. Michael Alpert, well-known contemporary Yiddish culture bearer and leader in revitalization of Yiddish music and dance, teams up with Craig Judelman, Seattle native now living in Berlin helping to drive the active Yiddish music scene, and touring to push this rich culture in it’s continuing evolution. This rare West Coast tour allows us to enjoy the music and raise money and awareness for Ukraine. There also will be edibles and collectables for sale with proceeds going in support of Ukrainian charities.

San Juan Island Repair Fair

Posted Feb, 2023 ~ by Marc Santos

Come learn and maybe make some repairs at a Repair Fair! SJI Grange #966, Alchemy Arts Center, and the Fellow Shop will be setting up repair workstations at Grange Hall on February 12, noon-4pm.

The fair is free. Some hand tools and sewing implements will be provided, but BYOS (bring your own supplies). Attendees will have a chance to mend clothing, make art, or repair simple/small household items (like a lamp!) at each workstation. Each organization will have folks on hand to help.

Seedy Sundays, Soon!

Posted Feb, 2023 ~ by Nancy Best

What: Free seeds—vegetables, herbs, flowers. All are invited to come share and receive seeds within our community. If you grew seeds last year, bring some to pass along. If you ordered more seeds than you need, this is a chance to give them a good home. Or you can come “seed free” to get seeds from your neighbors, as well seeds from our seed bank.

When: Sunday, February 19 and Sunday, March 19, 2 to 4pm

Where: Your Grange Hall

Who: Everybody (not just Grangers!)
