Latinos around the world celebrate the holidays by bringing their homes—and their relatives' gravesites—alive with photographs, flowers, bright colors, favorite foods and more. Learn about these time-honored traditions and celebrate these multidimensional holidays. Start at the WAC and travel by motor coach to El Centro de la Raza (Center for the People of All Races), where we'll meet our guide for a tour of approximately 20 altars. A permanent altar, or ofrenda, is on display for founder and executive director for 37 years, Roberto Maestas, a proud WAC member and humanitarian who passed away in 2010. You'll learn the details and meaning of the altars—some elaborate, some simple, and all rich in symbolism. After the tour, take in the festivities, including dancing and traditional foods such as mole (MOH-lay), rice, beans, pan dulce (sweet bread) and hot chocolate. Includes dinner and guided tour at the center as well as round-trip transportation from the WAC. 4:45–7:30 pm; $35; cancel by October 23 biggest party of the year. We again invite members to volunteer as dealers and assistants in the Jubilee casino. Returning dealers help train new dealers to work the craps, roulette and blackjack tables or assist as card shufflers/runners. Training sessions are informative, fun and casual. A light buffet and beverages are included. Because only members may attend the training and work the casino, this is a great opportunity to meet other members—and it's perfect for singles or couples. New dealers should attend all three sessions. Returning dealers should attend at least two. If you're inter- ested in volunteering, can attend the training and work a two-hour shift on November 30 (the rest of the evening is for you to enjoy Jubilee), please contact Club Programs casino coordinator Robert Laurent at rlaurent@wac.net or 206.464.3061. 6–8 pm; complimentary; Noble Room 33rd Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition Tuesday, November 20 Always a sellout, the Seattle International Comedy Competition brings the first night of the finals to the WAC and pits the top 3 | WAC Link Quarterly 6 | Hot Party 6: Blow It Your Way 14 | Seahawks vs. Patriots 16 | Seattle Lust Tour 18 | Cuba: Connecting People and Culture 21 | Bill Cosby 23 | College Prep 101 24–28 | Wicked 24–31 | The Addams Family 25 | Haunted Pub Crawl 28 | 82nd Halloween Spooktacular five comedians against each other in 15-minute rounds.
