Student Afternoon Recital: Music Bldg., Rm 818
Fri., Dec. 1: 12:30-1:30pm
The Student Afternoon Recital is considered to be a “talent showcase” for our dedicated music students at Shoreline Community College. This is their time to shine in the spotlight and to have an opportunity to perform in front of their peers.

Students are chosen by their instructors to perform at the recital. The selection criteria requires students to have been taking private lessons and/or to have been involved in a music ensemble throughout the quarter. This is an invaluable experience for students to build confidence musically through focused preparation, and the opportunity to perform in front of an audience helps them develop their stage presence. Everyone is welcome to attend this free concert in the Music Building in Room #818.

There’s liver for dinner, holes in his shoes, and a war on the horizon, but 15-year-old Eugene Jerome would rather think about baseball…and girls. Surrounded by his overworked mother and father, his “worldly” older brother, his aunt, and two cousins, Eugene has plenty of material for his future career as a writer. This coming-of-age story is an affectionate, entertaining lesson in overcoming hard times with warmth and humor.

Brighton Beach Memoirs is the first installment in Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical Eugene Jerome trilogy (which includes the plays Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound) and is one of America’s most cherished plays. The New York Daily News called the original New York production “…in many respects Neil Simon’s funniest, richest, and consequently the most affecting of his plays”, and elevated Simon into the pantheon of great American playwrights.

Notice of Rule-Making Activity – WAC 132G-276-090 (Public Records)

Greetings,

Shoreline Community College is proposing revisions to Chapter 132G-276-090 of the Washington Administrative Code regarding public records in compliance with Executive House Bill 1595 which passed in July 2017. The revised language being proposed allows the College to comply with new requirements related to using a default copy fee and/or waiving costs associated with producing records as a result of a public records request. The revised language in this section has gone through a process to incorporate input from both the Strategic Plan and Budget Committee and the College’s Executive Team.

In compliance with RCW 34.05.320, the College is providing an opportunity for comments on Tuesday, December 5, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. in the Quiet Dining Room of the PUB. Alternately, comments related to this rule revision may be submitted to sccrulemaking@shoreline.edu on or before December 5, 2017.
