programs need caring, compassionate adults
who are willing to devote some of their limited
time to the kids. You don’t have to be an expert
on the sport of choice! We have lots of helpful
resources, including people that are willing to
help you help our kids enjoy themselves.
This is quality time for our young people.
They are practicing physical and mental skills,
interacting with their peers and adults in a
healthy atmosphere, and learning the ability to
compete towards a goal as a team and as an
individual. Call Joe at Parks and Rec, 7311938, for more information on this valuable opportunity.
Recycle previously purchased Purple and
Gold Jerseys! If you have a purple and gold
jersey used in the Parks and Rec basketball
program that is still in good condition (no tears,
numbers clearly visible, and clean), you can
turn them in for a $5.00 credit. Also, if you
wish to purchase a used jersey, the cost is
$5.00!

Watson’s originally began as a U-pick

a family affair. A 14 x 14 ft. greenhouse structure was built, and a few houseplants were
grown. When it became too crowded, another
was built...and then another. Things expanded
from there, until a major remodel built a 32,500
sq. ft. beautiful glass and steel greenhouse
from Belgium. The new structure and space
has allowed Watson’s to offer an extended
gift line, garden art and additional gardening
products and plants. Watson’s grows the majority of the annual plants, planters and hanging baskets they sell. After visiting Watsons,
we’ll stop by the Tacoma Waterfront for lunch
at Katy Downs Tavern and Eatery; and then

Les Miserables, (translated variously from the French as The Miserable , The
Wretched, The Poor Ones, The Wretched
Poor, or The Victims), is an 1862 French novel
by author Victor Hugo and is widely considered
one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth
century. It follows the lives and interactions
of several French characters over a 17-year
period in the early nineteenth century, starting
in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion. The novel focuses on the struggles
of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience
of redemption. It examines the nature of law
and grace, and expatiates upon the history of
France, architecture of Paris, politics, moral
philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, religion,
and the types and nature of romantic and
familial love. The story is historical fiction because it contains factual and historic events.
Les Miz takes place in the nineteenth century;
the only “revolution” depicted is the June Rebellion, a student uprising. There will be time
for lunch (on your own) before the show. Fee
includes transportation, ferry and show.
