I want to thank everyone who contributed to our 4th of July Event! Our chefs for the event, Jim Ribail and Daniel Enciso, prepared over 150 delicious Spaghetti Dinners on Friday, July 3rd and our volunteers were wonderful help in the kitchen, dining room, checking people in and selling raffle tickets. We also had great support from local businesses and donors, including Duvall Family Grocer, Duvall Safeway, Carnation Market, Farmhouse Market, and Susan & JJ Schmoll.
We sold 550 servings of Strawberry Shortcake on July 4, as well as delicious Strawberry Lemonade and quilt raffle tickets. Thank you to Delores Ulrich, Leslie & Charles Day and their family, and Diane Amos, for coming to the senior center early in the morning to get the shortcake ready, as well as all of the volunteers who served shortcake, cleared tables, and cashiered in the lobby.
Remlinger Farms provided the delicious strawberries and both events had support from generous sponsors,including the Duvall Civic Club, Tolt Historical Society, Lighthouse Plumbing, Carol Kautz and Farmers Insurance Donaldson & Hauglie Agency.
Planning is fully underway for our Annual Dinner and Auction event, and I hope you’ll join us! This is our most successful event of the year, and we are excited to be hosting it at the Club at Snoqualmie Ridge on Saturday, October 17. There will be a delicious dinner, silent and live auction items, fun raffle games, and a dessert dash featuring local bakeries and restaurants.

Work continues on the transition committee, as we become completely independent from Sound Generations at the end of this year. We are excited to be working with Launch Industries on this, as they have helped several other senior centers through similar transitions.
