Dine and Discover

The European green crab (EGC), considered to be one of the most damaging invasive species, has been spreading along the coastlines of Washington State. When able to establish a large population in an area for a long period of time, they can have devastating effects on some native species. On Monday, March 2, Hillary Sanders from the Marine Science Center will discuss the Molt Search project. You’ll learn where EGC is being found, why it matters, and what you can do about it. She will also update us on the Marine Mammal Stranding Network. This presentation, which will be held at the Bay Club, is one you do not want to miss. 

Sign-up sheets will be available at the front desk at both the Beach and the Bay Club by Monday, February 9. This event is open to North and South Bay members and their guests. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Please remember that if you’re bringing an appetizer, bring one that can be easily served by our volunteers. Whatever you bring, please make it large enough to serve 8-10 people. Some of us have dietary issues, so please put a note on your dish if it contains any of the following allergens: wheat, soy, eggs, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, or shellfish. You will also need to bring your place setting (plates, napkins, eating utensils, glasses), placemats if desired, and a plastic bag to put your dirty dishes in to take home. We provide coffee/tea/water but if you would prefer something else to drink, you’re welcome to bring your beverage of choice. Admission is $5 per person, payable at the door. This covers the cost of the facility, coffee/tea, banquet permit, and the honorarium we provide the speaker. If you sign up but are unable to attend, please let us know as no-shows can significantly affect the food selection.

For questions or suggestions, call us at 360-437-8091. We look forward to seeing you there.  We encourage everyone to bring a friend who has yet to experience Dine and Discover.
