The American Lung Association is hosting our second annual cycling event Reach the Beach Washington on September 29, 2018. This cycling event takes place over a fast and flat course with multiple starting points. 100 miles from Lacey, 88 miles from Olympia, 44 miles from Elma, and 25 miles from Cosmopolis, all ending on the beautiful beach in Westport. There will be rest stops ever 15 miles, with hot lunches and hydration at each stop. There will also be bike mechanics along the route to provide quick fixes to popped tires, chain malfunctions, etc. Once across the finish line, we will celebrate with good food, good drinks, and good company!
For more information about the race and volunteer opportunities please visit our website reachthebeachwa.org
*VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR REST STOPS*

Westport Winery will host one of its popular murder mystery dinners on Wednesday, October 31 at 6pm which is Halloween night. The Murder Before Midnight features the unlikely marriage of 1960s posh aristocracy with hippy pig farmers. Half of the victims and suspects are Kennedy era wannabes while the other half sport tie dye and peace signs. Everyone is invited to dress for the fun and the holiday as they see fit. A few guests may volunteer to join the cast, and everyone will act as deputies in solving Who done it?
Discover the properties of some healing herbs, including calendula, clove, comfrey, feverfew, ginger, lobelia and yarrow. Participants will learn the infusion process, straining, adding beeswax, and bottling, as well as take home salve samples from this hands-on class. All supplies will be provided. Items will be available for purchase.
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.

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.
