Informational and Educational Programs for the Port Ludlow Community

These programs are open to Port Ludlow Community residents and are free of charge. All programs are at the Bay Club, 120 Spinnaker Place, and will begin at 1 p.m.

Informational and Educational presentations are intended to provide a forum for increasing knowledge for members of our community. Just as one needs on-going exercise to strengthen the body, these presentations are intended to help on-going strengthening of the mind. Topics and speakers from a multitude of backgrounds will be offered for our members.
