Consumers lose billions of dollars each year to fraud. People over age 50 are especially vulnerable and account for over half of all victims, according to a study by AARP. Please join us for a presentation with Elena G. Huizar, Outreach Services Supervisor in the Consumer Protection Division of Washington to learn about the more common scams targeting seniors and how to avoid them.

On Saturday August 10th Grays Harbor Stream Team will be teaming up with the City of Cosmopolis to remove invasive species from Mill Creek Park.

Whether you own a “home in the woods” or many acres of land, this “out in the woods” educational event is packed with practical “how-to” information that you need to know.
