Community Calendar

The Development Directors Roundtable is a collaboration between Spokes and the Association of Fundraising Professionals of San Luis Obispo County.

Spokes roundtables are facilitated, peer networking and problem-solving opportunities held monthly. At the start of the roundtable, participants introduce themselves and share some good news or something that’s “keeping them up at night.” They may also offer a “spotlight topic” for consideration during the meeting.

Join us for Boogie for Our Bodies 2026, a space-themed disco at the Wildcat Lounge. Dance out your stress, recharge your activist battery, and gear up for the year ahead with like-minded friends.
This will be an outdoor silent disco with wireless headphones rather than a speaker system. Inside we will have a regular DJ and dancing. There will be a raffle, costume contest, and more.
Please note this venue is 21+. We encourage attendees to dress up in their most out of this world attire - think astronauts and aliens, the sky is not the limit! Come get funky for our fundamental rights.

In 1942, a few weeks prior to graduation, nearly 45% of the Arroyo Grande High School Graduating Class were bussed with their Japanese-American families to isolated internment camps. Historian Jim Gregory (author of World War II Arroyo Grande), composer Deon Nielsen Price (BEHIND BARBED WIRE), and conductor Brian Alhadeff (OperaSLO Grand Orchestra), are pleased to present a commemoration of that tumultuous time.

With a live orchestra and a big band, guest performers, video, poetry, swing music of the 1940’s and narration, this special production shares this region’s local heritage of sacrifice, friendship, patriotism, hard work, and community solidarity.

A master farrier and professional auctioneer by trade, Monte is the "real deal"—one of the last and best of the great yodeling cowboys. Since 1976, he has been the primary custodian of Western Swing, a high-octane "Western Jazz" that blends the soulful improvisation of the big band era with a driving, rural rhythm that is impossible to sit still for.
