Community Calendar

In recognition of Women’s History Month, join us to learn about the women who lived in the Rosa Butron de Canet de Simler adobe. Aside from the adobe’s namesake, Rosa Butron, both Waterman Village and the Mary Gail Black Neighborhood Park honor women as well. Who were these women, and what do we know about their lives and contributions?

Hear firsthand accounts, personal interactions, and recollections of the adobe’s last residents and those who came before, as well as the future of the site, featuring Lenore Erickson and Andy Pease alongside Smart Share staff.

This event will be held outdoors so dress for the weather. Parking is limited; carpooling encouraged.

If you share our interest in California history—especially the history of our famous Mission—you're invited to join the Mission San Luis Obispo Docents. Our Docents provide a vital service to the Mission Parish and to the community as a whole. We meet each month on the third Saturday at 9:30 (except December) in the Youth Center.
In addition to giving daily tours, our Docents attend monthly meetings, go on field trips to other missions, attend conferences, and generally enjoy learning more about the continuing history of the Mission and its role in our community.

What can Shakespeare – or literature more generally – tell us about ethics? In the Pacific Views Talk for Spring 2026, Professor Jim Kearney (English) discusses the ways that Shakespearean theater invites its audiences to be entertained by the vicarious experience of the ethical, often ethics in some extreme or impossible circumstance.

What does it feel like to be enjoined to avenge your father’s death? What is it like to banish your daughter or disavow your community? To forgive the unforgivable? To murder? Shakespeare and his fellow early modern playwrights inherited and developed rhetorical and philosophical practices geared toward the creation of immersive virtual experience.

Advance registration is recommended as space is limited.
