Friday's speakers
Join us Friday morning as Alvin Shim, Director of Operations for One Parish One Prisoner, takes us through what it takes for teams across Washington to work with one incarcerated person, walking with them through incarceration, release, and new life in their community. This is difficult enough with one person. Alvin does it with 200.
Joining Alvin is Alex Sanchez. Alex grew up in the Valley, except for a number of years incarcerated—much of that time spent in solitary. Today, he's a loving husband and father, a supportive brother to many, and a professional reentry navigator at Underground Ministries.

Now all we need are you and your guests to attend and we need everyone to be willing to purchase a silent or live auction item and/or make a donation to the scholarship fund at the auction. Don't know when or where?? That's easy:
Saturday, Oct. 1st at the Swinomish Casino!
Doors open at 5 p.m.

Sarah Ward is looking for 5-10 Rotarians to manage the Pumpkin Slingers at Burlington's Fall Festival on Saturday and Sunday, Sep. 24 and 25 at Skagit River Park. What are Pumpkin Slingers you ask? THEY ARE REALLY AWESOME DEVICES BUILT TO SLING SHOT PUMPKINS! They are so much fun! She needs help for two shifts 9:30-1:00 or 12:30- 4:00 on both Saturday and Sunday.
On Sunday there is a 'pupkin' Fun Run! You get to dress your dog up as a pumpkin and do the fun run (or walk). The shifts for that are 8:30-12:00. Click the Fall Festival logo for more information.
