Workshop: Reducing Flood Impacts @ Grays Harbor PUD
Mar 31 @ 9:00 am – 11:30 am

The cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam have teamed up to develop a levee and drainage plan to reduce flooding. A walking tour of Fry Creek is planned where the consultants hired to help develop a master plan will conduct a tour of the Fry Creek area, which is a chronic contributor to localized flooding.

The tour will begin with a presentation about the project goals followed by an hour-long walking tour of the area that will likely be changed in order to improve livability, eliminate nuisance flooding and restore the creek for the future.
All stakeholders welcome.

Workshop: Reducing Flood Impacts @ Rotary Log Pavilion
Mar 31 @ 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm

This is the second tour offered this day to give stakeholders in Aberdeen an opportunity to learn about the flood control levee that Aberdeen and Hoquiam have teamed up to develop.
A tour of Aberdeen’s Fry Creek was scheduled to take place in the morning, with Wilson Creek in the afternoon.

The goal is to eliminate nuisance flooding with a levee and proper drainage and remove properties from the flood plain and thus eliminate the requirement for flood insurance. People could still buy insurance the same way they do earthquake insurance, but thousands of property owners would no longer be required to purchase it.
In answer to some concerns, and according to project engineers, there is no expectation that any nuisance flooding in areas not within the scope of this project will be worsened.

Grays Harbor Shorebird and Nature Festival @ Hoquiam
May 6 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
Grays Harbor Shorebird and Nature Festival @ Hoquiam | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Each spring, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop to rest and feed in Grays Harbor estuary on their migration northward. Coming from as far south as Argentina, these Arctic-bound shorebirds are among the world’s greatest migrants. Some birds travel more than 15,000 miles round trip! Tens of thousands of shorebirds feed on the open mudflats in the estuary. This concentration of birds offers people a great chance to view a number of shorebird species, and with luck, to see the birds fly together in beautiful formation while trying to escape the fastest creature on earth, the Peregrine Falcon.

Workshop: Hypnosis for Weight Loss @ Hoquiam Elks Lodge
May 22 @ 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
Workshop: Hypnosis for Weight Loss @ Hoquiam Elks Lodge | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and create the perfect you

So whats going to happen at a Hypnotic House Party for Weight Loss? Essentially we are going to get together and hang out. You will bring a blanket, pillow and a Yoga mat so you can stretch out. Justin James will hypnotize everyone in the group and give you powerful hypnotic suggestions while some music plays in the background. It will be like daydreaming or taking a nice nap.

So you come hang out and take a nap, what happens next? For some the changes are subtle for others, it can be pretty dramatic. Lifestyle changes that were very difficult to make are suddenly within reach and your habits and choices begin to change overnight.
