Supporting local education with grants for SLO county teachers.

The time has come for Central Coast State Parks Association’s (CCSPA) 6th Annual Butterfly Ball! Please join us for an evening of music, food & drink, inspiring presentations, and silent auction to support the 10 state parks in San Luis Obispo! This year’s gala will directly fund the educational, interpretive and volunteer programs that inspire the current and future generations of environmental stewards!
Have you ever wondered what happens in our Parks after the sun goes down? Our local State Parks are abundant with nocturnal creatures of all shapes and sizes, and this year’s theme, Moonlit Wings and Wild Things, honors the park’s ecosystems and wildlife that comes to life at night — owls, bats, moths, and more that depend on dark skies.
Though we don’t have an official “dark sky park,” we are lucky to live in an area with low light pollution, not only giving these species the habitat they need to survive but also providing us a chance to witness the beauty of a dark sky.
Come dressed in night sky inspired attire — channel the moon, the stars, the shimmer of wings, and the peaceful beauty of the night. We can’t wait to share this special evening with you!

Four Lanterns Winery host a Sunday Evening concert series every summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day, hosting a variety of community based bands and solo performers, along with a food truck each week. This is a great way for locals to end their weekends, and gather with friends. 10% of our concert proceeds go to select charities each year. This years charities recipients are ECHO Atascadero and Hope with I.A.N. Families are welcome along with well behaved pets.

UCSB Library is pleased to present Andy Merolla (Communication) in the Pacific Views: Library Speaker Series for Fall 2025. In his talk “What Hope Do We Have? Searching in the Small Moments of Everyday Communication,” Merolla will examine how hope—as well as the social connection underlying it—is constructed through social interaction. This includes interaction with loved ones, acquaintances, and complete strangers. In many ways, this perspective is heartening, guiding us toward better treatment of others. Yet, it is also troubling given the numerous personal and structural factors that undermine and constrain social connection. Framing hope as an interpersonal phenomenon highlights the opportunities and inherent complexities within our everyday communication experiences.

Andy Merolla is a Professor of Communication at UCSB. His research focuses on interpersonal processes, such as social connection, conflict management, and forgiveness. .

Merolla’s approximately 45-minute presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
