Previous Work Project at Fire Mountain
Spousal Membership: The amended Member-at-large policy and amended dues are now available to view.
Survey re Activities: This from Simona and Jola: In light of the continuing COVID-19 crisis and concerns for safety in gathering, we are trying to determine whether or not we should continue with typical activities. We would normally host our Christmas party the second Thursday evening in December, 12/9. We have not found a venue yet, but once we know a potential count, that will help us narrow down our options. Additionally, we know that many businesses will be required to follow the state mandates on masking and this could also have an effect on attendance. We appreciate everyone's opinion as it will help our planning. Finally, we believe members want to continue with Firesides, whether those are small groups or larger outdoor-like functions, being mindful of the weather (of course!). Please indicate your interest in the survey on continuing to have a fireside opportunity each month.
Thank you all for the work you do in supporting our community in these trying times. If you have ideas on how we could continue to nurture our social spirits and be safe, we would love to hear about those!
New Members: We have recently inducted 7 new members. One more new member will be inducted next Thursday.
Bulletin: If you have photos to share, please send them to me. We could also use some production help--story writers and/or editing. ~Editor Dave
Programs: Next week we are going to hear Julie Boyer with Nope Unlimited and Northwest Incident Support . Dave K is our program chair. IF YOU HAVE IDEAS FOR PROGRAMS--LET DAVE KNOW.
September is Basic Education and Literacy Month
As part of our support of basic education, our club has recognized students of the quarter from the middle and high schools in the Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington School Districts. We also started and sponsor an Interact Club at Arlington High School. Now that the kids are back to in person school, the Youth Services Committee hopes to reactivate these programs. If interested in joining the Youth Services Committee, which also is responsible for our scholarship program, contact our Youth Services Director Jessica.
