prepare to be transported to the magical,
and musical, world of Narnia.
Faith Acts, a theater group based at
Shelton's Faith Lutheran Church, will present
"Narnia: The Musical" this March.
The musical is based on C.S. Lewis' "The
Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," published
in 1950, of"The Chronicles of Narnia" series.
"Our goal is to pick a family-friendly show
... with positive values," said director Jill O1-

In past years, Faith Acts has presented pro-

ductions of"Annie" and "The Wizard of Oz."
Olson said she has helped stage the musical
before.
"It's a great story," she said. "It's a classic
story of good versus evil. It really is a Chris-
tian allegory."
In the story, set during World War II in
England, four young siblings are sent to live
in the country with a professor. The children
explore the house and find a wardrobe that
transports them to the fantastical world of
Narnia.
The play's cast includes 36 actors, ranging
from about 10 years old to their 80s, Olson
said. People in other churches and community
groups are invited to participate in Faith Acts
productions.
When directing the actors, Olson said she
encourages them to do more than just read
lines in the script.
' rou create a story for the audience. You
create a reality," she said. "These guys are
bringing a lot to the stage."
Olson estimated 80 to 100 people come

time and all of this
will be on my birth-
day -- nice! The next
travel club event will take
place Feb. 24 when a group
of 25 will head to McCormick
Woods in Port Orchard for
lunch.
Remember, tomorrow will
be Friday the 13th -- and
a Harstine Island Commu-
nity Club meeting. So, plan
on showing up at the hall
about 6 p.m. with a potluck
dish and enjoy an evening
with island friends. It's hard
to believe, but spring is just
around the corner, so
I'm sure there will be
talk about upcoming
summer activities at
the hall and the new
2015 membership
drive.
CALLAGHAN
SEWING GROUP
CHANGES DATES
The Harstine Is-
land sewing group
will now meet on
the third Tuesday of the
month instead of the fourth.
It will be at Kathy Earl's this
month.
A NEW INQUIRING
MINDS PRESENTER
The next Inquiring Minds
presentation will be Feb. 22
and the starting time will be
moved up to 1:45 p.m. The
presenter will be Julia Har-
rison. She is an author, art-
ist and anthropologist. The
title for her presentation will
be "Ripe for the Telling: Sur,
prising Stories of Washington
Fruit." Billions of dollars of
income to Washington state
comes from fruit, so this
should be a powerful presen-
tation.
SENIOR LUNCH
AT IT AGAIN
On Feb. 18, the Senior
lunch crew will serve hot
beef sandwiches, mashed
potatoes and gravy, veggies
and Mary's dessert. As usual,
doors open about a half hour
before noon and serving starts
right at noon. Getting there a
little early gives you time to
meet and visit with your is-
land neighbors. They o yask
for a $3 donation to pay for
the basic food costs.
CRAB, CLAMS
AND SPAGHETti
The things I always look
forward to this time of year are
the seafood dinners that are
put on around the county. The
annual Pioneer School Crab,
Clam and Spaghetti Dinner
will be March 14. Serving will
start at 4:30 p.m.
There will be a silent auc-
tion with a live auction start-
ing at 6 p.m. The crab and
clams are just about as fresh
as you can get as they will
have been caught and dug
the day before. All proceeds
from this fundraiser go back
to the school in the form of
scholarships, nurses' needs,
field trips, law-enforcement
camp, reading programs
and more. The club is seek-
• ing,auction items --if you
or your business can donate
something, organizers would
appreciate it. Now that the
club is a 501(c)(3) organiza-
tion, these donations are tax-
deductible. Tickets are $25 for
adults and $12 for children
ages 12 and under. Judy and
I have tickets orify0u know
any Kiwanis member, they
will have tickets.
OYSTERS AND HAM
Then there will be the
58th annual Oyster and Ham
Dinner at the Shelton Yacht
Club. This tasty event will
be April 4. Organizers will
serve dinner from 4 p.m. to 8
p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults
and $8 for children. If you
want tickets for either dinner,
Judy and I have them. Call us
at 427-9516.
