TRADITIONAL ARROW MAKING

To Attend and for Exact Location, Register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/traditional-arrow-making/) Saturday, November 7, 10 a.m., TRADITIONAL ARROW MAKING $65 ($45 for seniors and students) BUSHCRAFT SKILLS This is one of the fundamental bushcraft skills that all hunter-gatherers needed to know. You might make a new bow every year, but you had to make arrows all the time. In this class, you will learn the basic parts of the arrow, and how an arrow can be very simple, or more complex. You will learn at least two common methods that arrows were made in the past. You will learn each step of making the traditional arrow, and then each student will make one. You will learn all the steps along the way, from selection of wood, shaft straightening, to adding the nocks, points, and feathers. Bring your knife, and fine files if you have them. Otherwise, tools will be provided. What’s more important? The bow, or the arrow? Obviously, the arrow, since it is the projectile that flies through the air. It must be straight, and properly aligned. Nearly every society of the past used archery for hunting, and that meant LOTS of arrows. You’ll learn that there are several ways to make an arrow that will shoot straight, and you will make at least two. Again, bring whatever tools you might have. Cost is $65, with a senior and student rate of $45. Be sure to RSVP. LOCATION 2. Hahamongna Watershed Park, on Pasadena’s west side, bordering with La Canada. Enter the park from Oak Grove and Foothill, and drive into the park, staying on the upper road (do NOT make that left turn and drive downhill), until you see the outdoor bathroom. Park there.

Dance with Jan & Marc in La Canada

We dance on Thursdays 8:00 - 10:00 PM at the Nourishing Spirits Center on the campus of St. George's Episcopal Church, 808 Foothill Blvd., La Canada. Whether you're new to folk dancing or experienced, we hope you’ll join us for fun and beautiful dances from around the world. This may be long, but we think you will find it helpful. This event is part of an ongoing group, and you are welcome to come any week. For your first visit, please try to arrive 5-10 minutes early so we can say hello before teaching starts. We will teach several dances appropriate for both new and experienced dancers for half an hour or so, and there will be more dances you can join in after that. You will be dancing the first evening, even if you have never danced before. The particular dances we teach each week will depend on the dance experience of our participants. We'll have a break at 9:00 for refreshments and socializing and then dance again until 10:00. (If you can't stay that late, it's perfectly fine to leave early.) Your $5 helps pay our rent. This is not a business. We dance for the joy of it. We are a very friendly group and very supportive of new participants. The teaching is extremely popular. No one is ever pressured or put on the spot. Our only goal is to have fun together. We no longer require vaccinations or masks, but we encourage good health practices, and some participants wear masks. We use Meetup only to attract new participants (like you!) and not for our normal communications. To learn more about our group or to contact us, please visit [Foothill.Dance](https://Foothill.Dance) (no .com, .org, .net, or .anything else is needed). We hope you can join us soon for a fun evening of dancing and socializing. Jan & Marc Rayman

FREE pick-up flag football, Sunday 9am in La Canada, 91011.

**FREE Sunday flag football** at 9:00am on a grass high school football field in La Canada, 91011. We have all the jersey's, flags, and equipment so just bring your cleats and your fun competitive spirit and you are good to go! We’re a fun group that has been doing this for over 30 years and still going strong. We always welcome new players and anyone you can bring with you. Our skill level is moderate. We are not ex-NFL nor college D1 players. We're a bunch of semi-hacks that get together on Sunday to have fun playing competitive football. It does get competitive and people come to win. We do not play with a regulation size ball, it's a bit smaller. I cut the game at 16 people, and I turn people away each week. So, if you say you're going to play and no show, you're basically taking somebody else's spot who wanted to play. So we kindly ask that if you say you're going to show up, that you are absolutely 100% guaranteed to show up and do not flake out. **Text me (Joe - 818-371-8861) if you want to be added to the weekly “game-on” text.** **NOTE - I rarely post games here, I just send out the group text. So be sure to text me your info if you want to be included.** See you on the field! Joe 818-371-8861
