Autism event update
"Buddy’s Benefit – Aces for Awareness" volleyball tournament and the "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" benefit walk for autism awareness have been postponed one week, from Saturday April 25 to Saturday May 2.
Information about the events is on Page C-9 of today’s Sequim Gazette. Everything is the same except for the date.
The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe lost an honored elder, Ms. Beatrice Charles, the Klallam language teacher for the tribe, and her service is on Saturday. Out of respect for the family, the event has been rescheduled.
Disaster team volunteers meet
