On October 26, The Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center will hold its 5^th annual Zombie Invasion SLO 5K fun run for the whole family at Camp San Luis Obispo. Participants will run/walk through different terrains and obstacles courses, all while being chased around and avoiding their flags to be caught by zombies.

Participants will enjoy shaved ice, food, vendor booths, a bounce house, free entry to Gladiator Paintball Park, and a goodie bag with a t-shirt and small gift items. This event is possible with the help of a grant from the City of San Luis Obispo, as well as the great efforts of the California Philanthropy Group.

This year’s Zombie Invasion SLO is hoping to raise community awareness and over funds for The Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center, which runs primarily on fundraising efforts and donations, in order to provide support, workshops, and social events for individuals and families touched by the autism spectrum.

The Central Coast Section of the California Chapter of the American Planning Association is hosting its 4th Citizen Planning Academy this fall in San Luis Obispo.

The Academy will begin on September 26, 2019 and occur over 8 sessions on Thursday evenings from September to November (excluding October 31).

The Academy will cover a range of planning topics to help citizens understand local planning, how it impacts our lives, and the land use and resource issues that face our communities today. Each session will be taught by experienced and knowledgeable planners, as well as speakers from the community who are experts in the issue covered in that particular session. $40 for all sessions due at first class. Applications due Sept. 20.

Hawaii’s Jake Shimabukuro is known for his energetic strumming on the ukulele, incorporating elements of thoughtful, sophisticated arrangements and spontaneous, improvised passages. He mixes both Island and outside influences with the modern and historical, combining the qualities of a long line of virtuoso ukulele players with modern rock musicians to create a sound that’s uniquely his own yet still firmly grounded in the Island tradition. His latest album, The Greatest Day, was released in July 2018 to critical acclaim.

Now is your chance to experience Jake’s sound at the PAC SLO for yourself.
