Week 4 – Grimm

Hi Everyone!

This week we’ll be exploring Portland’s underworld of mythical creatures in Grimm:

Homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt of the Portland Police Bureau learns he is descended from a line of guardians known as “Grimms,” charged with keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world (called “Wesen”). Throughout the episodes, he must battle against an assortment of dangerous creatures, with help from his friend Monroe (a reformed Blutbad), and his partner Detective Hank Griffin.

As always, we’ll be meeting in Macauley at 5pm on Friday, and having a pizza run at around 7pm.

On Friday we will also be holding a bake sale! If you like to bake (or eat) drop by our stall on the Library Walkway. If you have a break and want to help us sell delicious food, email me using Facebook Event.

Until next time!
Sarah.

Week 2 – The Flash

This Friday we’ll be starting a new series, the Flash, and venturing to Central city to join the team at Star Labs:

When he wakes up after nine months in a coma, he discovers he has the ability to move at superhuman speed. Working with the disgraced scientists at Star Labs, Barry apprehends other ‘metahumans’, and protects the residents of Central City.
