Grays Harbor Relay For Life @ Immanuel Baptist Church
Apr 15 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am

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.

Talk: A Cheapskate’s Road Map to Happiness @ Aberdeen Timberland Library
Apr 15 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Jeff Yeager is “the Ultimate Cheapskate.” NBC TODAY Show’s Matt Lauer said so. Even before becoming a darling of national media, when he ran nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C., Yeager was famous for skinny budgets and impressive outcomes. In those days he called himself a “Titan of Tightwads.” 
Yeager has created a lifestyle that allowed him to retire at age 46.  He continues to live a rich, happy life, doing exactly what he wants to do. Thank goodness he loves to share his secrets with the rest of us.

Chehalis Basin Partnership Meeting @ Lucky Eagle Casino
Apr 28 @ 9:30 am
Chehalis Basin Partnership Meeting @ Lucky Eagle Casino | Rochester | Washington | United States

At this meeting we’ll be learning about all things fishy and froggy in the Chehalis Basin. We’ll hear an update from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife on the Aquatic Species Restoration Plan being developed for the Chehalis Basin, and opportunities for citizen engagement. We’ll also hear from WDFW’s “Citizen Science” program coordinator about iNaturalist technology. iNaturalist is a tool citizens can use to document wildlife sightings and track changes over time – in effect, become “citizen scientists.” The tool is currently being tested out for amphibian monitoring in King County. Would you like to see it in use in the Chehalis?

Anyone with an interest in the Chehalis Basin is welcome to come to this event.

COASST Marine Debris Training Session @ Ocean Shore Convention Center
May 7 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
COASST Marine Debris Training Session @ Ocean Shore Convention Center | Ocean Shores | Washington | United States

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.
