Learn how to make a lei. The Asia Pacific Cultural Center, 4851 South Tacoma Way, Tacoma, hosts a hands-on workshop from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. tonight. The workshop will introduce you to making a simple crochet lei with eyelash yarn. Cost is $20 and includes all the materials to make a lei. Call (253) 383-3900 for more information or to register.
Watch Drum Taps: Nine Poems on Themes of War at Pacific Lutheran University's Lagerquist Concert Hall tonight at 8 p.m. The show, by composer Gregory Youtz, is a 55-minute oratorio for four vocal soloists, mixed choir and orchestra. Four poems by Walt Whitman written during the United States' Civil War (1861-65) from his series Drum Taps, written during the Civil War, provide an evolving view of war from an American perspective: from excited anticipation of a quick and heroic experience, to a somber reflection on the human cost of war. Interspersed amongst these are five poems by writers from other lands and other times - perhaps not coincidentally places where the U.S. has been involved in wars: Vietnam, China, the Middle East and Europe. Tickets are $8 for general admission, and the event is free for those 18 and younger. Call (253) 535-7150 for more information.
Learn how to make salad a dish for dinner from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in Olympia. Instructor Leanne Willard prepares four main dish salads that you'll want to serve more than once during the summer months. Her selections include gruyere fondue salad, great on its own or with grilled meats; Thai shredded chicken and strawberry salad with rice noodles; salmon sesame salad with won ton and lemongrass-chile dressing; and Mediterranean barley with chickpeas, pistachios, feta and arugula. The class is held in the Bayview School of Cooking (BSC) demo kitchen on the second floor of Bayview Thriftway, 516 4th Ave W in downtown Olympia. For more information on this event or other classes call (360) 754-1448 or visit www.bayviewschoolofcooking.com.
