Our guests for Feb.12 were Jessica Rodriquez and Flora Lucatero with Children of the Valley and Alexia Reed, our sponsored YES student.
Jessica and Flora thanked the club for grant support for summer enrichment programs for the Children of the Valley. They presently operate in four locations in Mount Vernon, Burlington, and Sedro Woolley serving 180 students last year. Their auction is coming up on April 26th.
