Employees can be your most valuable asset, as well as a significant liability to your nonprofit. By approaching human resources from beginning to end, you can set the stage for a successful partnership with your employees. A cohesive environment will set the stage for employees being their best, creating opportunities and creativity. Often these same roles are filled by volunteers and having successful strategies will help you help your organization be the best it can be!
In this workshop we will be covering what you need in place before you are ready to hire, assessing your organization’s culture and best practices when seeking your next team member, what tools and methods can be employed to show them you value them, and how to support your team as a whole when its time for that employee to leave the organization.
Aberdeen, WA – The Board of Directors of Grays Harbor Historical Seaport (GHHS), operators of the tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, has scheduled a strategic planning workshop on December 8th from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss long term planning for GHHS’s headquarters of Seaport Landing, vessel maintenance, and tall ship programs. No action will be taken at this meeting.

WDFW approves 5-day razor clam dig starting Jan. 2
OLYMPIA – The next round of evening razor clam digs will run Jan. 2-6 at Twin Harbors, along with openings at other beaches for the last three days.
State shellfish managers with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the dig on evening low tides after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat. No digging will be allowed on any beach before noon.
The upcoming dig is approved on the following beaches, dates, and evening low tides:
- Jan. 2, Wednesday; 4:22 p.m.; 0.2 feet; Twin Harbors
- Jan. 3, Thursday; 5:06 p.m.; -0.2 feet; Twin Harbors
- Jan. 4, Friday; 5:46 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Twin Harbors, Mocrocks
- Jan. 5, Saturday; 6:23 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Twin Harbors, Copalis
- Jan. 6, Sunday; 6:59 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Twin Harbors, Mocrocks
Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager, recommends that diggers hit the beach about an hour or two before low tide for the best results.
“Diggers should come prepared with good lighting devices and always keep an eye on the surf, particularly at this time of year when the best low tides come after dark,” Ayres said.
Ayres said the department has also tentatively scheduled a second dig in January, pending the results of another round of marine toxin tests. If those tests are favorable, that dig will run Jan. 17-21, and will include the first dig of the season at Kalaloch.
More information on planned digs can be found on WDFW’s razor clam webpage at https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish/razorclams/.
All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable 2018-19 fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach. Licenses, ranging from a three-day razor clam license to an annual combination fishing license, are available on WDFW’s website at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov and from license vendors around the state.
Under state law, diggers at open beaches can take 15 razor clams per day and are required to keep the first 15 they dig. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container.
WDFW approves four-day razor clam dig beginning Dec. 20; announces tentative digs through February
OLYMPIA – The next round of evening razor-clam digs is set to begin Thursday, Dec. 20, just in time to take home some clams for the winter holidays.
State shellfish managers with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the dig on evening low tides after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat. No digging will be allowed on any beach before noon.
The upcoming dig is approved on the following beaches, dates, and evening low tides:
- Dec. 20, Thursday, 4:51 p.m.; -0.3 feet; Twin Harbors, Mocrocks

Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager, recommends that diggers hit the beach about an hour or two before low tide for the best results.
“We are opening Long Beach to give visitors a chance at some clams for the holidays, but diggers should expect some smaller clams in their catch,” said Ayres.
Long Beach has been closed for much of the season to give the high number of juvenile razor clams a chance to grow.
Diggers want to be sure to come prepared with good lighting devices and always keep an eye on the surf, particularly at this time of year when the best low tides come after dark, he added.
WDFW is also announcing tentative digs through February, beginning with a proposed five day dig starting Jan. 2. Proposed razor clam digs are listed below, along with evening low tides and beaches:

Director Zemeckis takes us ‘Back to the Future’ at 7th Street Theatre Jan. 25-26
A box-office smash from the wild imagination of director Robert Zemeckis, “Back to the Future” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25-26, at Grays Harbor’s historic 7th Street Theatre, in downtown Hoquiam. The 1985 film was also co-written by Zemeckis, Best Director Oscar winner for “Forrest Gump” and director of “Romancing the Stone,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” “Cast Away,” “Polar Express” and a pair of “Future” sequels, among his credits. The movie offers breakthrough big screen roles to an unlikely pair of TV stars, 24year-old Michael J. Fox of “Family Ties” and Christopher Lloyd, already a double Emmy winner for “Taxi” and 23 years Fox’s senior. As Marty McFly and Doc Brown, they take us through a fun and crazy time travel adventure that includes the Flux Capacitor (“still, uh, fluxing”) and helped make the DeLorean car an iconic piece of pop culture. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. The theatre is at 313 7th Street in downtown Hoquiam. Tickets are $6, available at the door or in advance at Harbor Drug and Crown Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and online at www.7thstreettheatre.com.
