Club offers ‘thank you’ soup lunch
The Keystone Club, a teen leadership group through the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, offers a free “thank you” lunch from noon-3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, at the club, 400 W. Fir St., Sequim.
There will be minestrone and a vegetarian soup available made by Dr. Monica Dixon.
