PLAY PETANQUE!

What is Petanque (pronounced PET-TONK ) ? You may have heard of, or
even played Bocce, which comes from Italy. Petanque is played very much
the same way and originated in France. The main difference is the size of the
balls used. Where Bocce balls are large like a softball, Petanque balls are
smaller, like a baseball. It can be played with as few as two or with teams of
up to three a side. The objective is to take turns trying to roll or toss the balls
or boules, as close as possible to a smaller target ball, called the jack. One
point is given to the team for each ball closer than the opponent's closest ball.

The MAH Petanque group meets each Wednesday morning at 10:00 AM and play
for about an hour. All are invited to join in, the game is easy to learn.

Equipment will be provided, but players may want to own their own set of
balls. Petanque rules etc. can be found at www.wikihow.com/Play-Petanque

Intergenerational Conversation on Connection and Community  
Join us for a meaningful conversation with students from the WWU Sustainability Pathways program. Together, we’ll explore how shared stories and lived experiences help build resilience and deeper connections across generations.  

This summer's cohort of undergraduate students come from a wide range of educational interests and are engaging with the community through course projects and internships with non-profits, town planning offices, agencies, businesses, and the school district. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear what they’re working on—and for them to learn from the wisdom and experience of older adults who call this place home.

Let’s come together for a morning of thoughtful dialogue, connection, and community.
