Our theme this year is “Super Heroes”, and we are inviting our Survivors to our annual free Survivor Social. All Survivors and their family/friends are encouraged to come join us as we celebrate our Survivor Super Heroes!

At the Social we will serve them breakfast. There will be live entertainment, guest speakers, an opportunity for Survivors to share their stories, and lots of good fellowship and love.

Survivors will receive their 2017 Survivor t-shirt, and will be able to register for this year’s Relay For Life at the Survivor Social. Pre-registration allows them to go straight to the table at Relay on June 2nd to receive their 2017 Survivor medal, without having to stand in line.

Come and paint ceramic eggs for $5 a piece at Imagine That! A mermaid princess will be there to tell stories, take photos, and paint with the kiddos!

Children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult. Pricing for other pottery varies.

Easter Egg Hunt at Crescent Park. Get the kids ready early, because the fun begins promptly at 10am. Children will  collect as many wooden eggs as they can and turn them in for prizes. Be sure to take advantage of photo ops with Mr. E. Bunny.

What gives us a sense of place and belonging on the Harbor? Participate in a community mapping project to tell your story of what makes the Harbor…home. To participate, visit here to add to our online map or pick up a mapping kit at the Hoquiam Library beginning on Saturday, April 15.

We will compile community contributions from the mapping activity into a self-guided tour. The link to the tour will be available online or pick up a paper copy at the Hoquiam Library.

Join us for a reception at the Polson Museum on April 29 at 2:30 p.m. to discuss insights and perspectives sparked by the activity and learn about other historic walking tours in the area.

COASST Marine Debris participants survey local beaches and collect data on the characteristics and location of debris – data that will ultimately be used to map the source and transport pathways of debris, as well as the potential harm to people, wildlife, and local coastal ecosystems. Volunteers need NO prior experience, just a commitment to survey a specific beach (about ¾ mile) each month.

If you are interested in participating, join COASST staff for the training session. There is no charge to attend the training, but plan to provide a $20 refundable deposit if you would like to take home a COASST volunteer kit. Training activities take place indoors. Beach surveys are best conducted in groups of 2 or more – please come with a survey partner in mind or plan to join a team during training.

Engage in conversation and problem-solving around contemporary issues relating to housing and homelessness in the Harbor region. Attendees will hear from a panel, engage in small group discussion, and leave with personal action steps they can take to strengthen their community.

Voices from the Harbor is an event series produced with funding from Humanities Washington. What Makes Communities Work is the third event in the three-part series.
