To employees receiving PEBB benefits:

The Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) Program- the source of our employee benefits- has an open enrollment period from Nov. 1 through the 30th. During open enrollment, you can make a variety of changes including plan changes and who you cover on benefits.

The PEBB program will have many resources available to help make informed decisions about your benefits. PEBB recently sent out the ‘For Your Benefit’ newsletter. The newsletter and other helpful information is available on the PEBB website at www.hca.wa.gov/pebb. And, Shoreline will provide additional reminders and information to you in early November. PEBB also holds benefit fairs across the state where you can get information and talk to representatives of PEBB about the plans. The fair schedule is in the newsletter or on the site.

We have the distinct pleasure of hosting two of Seattle’s finest musicians, Maria Larionoff (former Seattle Symphony concertmaster) and Professor Robin McCabe (head of UW Piano Studies), on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 3 p.m. for their second installment of “The Beethoven Project” in the campus Theater.

Larionoff and McCabe will inspire audiences with their second of three recital programs in which they are presenting the complete violin and piano sonatas of Beethoven, in a two-year cycle.  (The third recital will take place this spring.)

The SCC Piano Series raises money for student scholarships – all proceeds benefit the Piano Scholarship Fund.  This will be a wonderful concert and a great way to spend your Sunday afternoon.  Please join us!
