SITU-University Presents:
"Picnic Paraphenalia"

If you have a cooler or some other more
modern accessory which you like to bring to
various SITU functions, you'll learn how to create a very clever cover made from fabric (not straw as in the photo left). This works well to disguise it in photos, yet very practical in insulating your cooler
against the summer temperatures. Interested?

SITU Late Spring Gathering,
“Four Seasons of Fashion”

We have booked this date at a private residence (in Port Orchard) with a spectacular private costume collection to enjoy.

The exhibit focuses on fashions from the 1840's to the 1950's that interpret seasonal changes in colors, fabric, trims, embellishments and styles.  The display will include day and evening wear for both men and women

Register your intent with Miss Sara of your desire to participate in the gathering.  Once again, we are limited in number of participants.  Please let her know if you are willing to drive a carpool as well.  Parking will be tight, so the more people we can get to carpool for the ferries, the better!
