Part of projects going on around the country, as well as elsewhere in Lewis County, the National Day of Service was first established in 2002 by the Bush Administration as a way to commemorate those who fell in the line of duty while responding to the World Trade Center Attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Participation in the event had been a first for Vader and Mayor Ken Smith, who was among those growing calluses that day, said he was "startled" to see so many individuals participating (65 in all).

The Wrinkles of Washington performance on Sunday afternoon was a wonderful treat for sure! I’ve never seen so many full chairs in our large Auditorium and all were pleased with what they saw and heard. This group has some really talented folks! The only slight (very slight) disappointment was the tap dancers couldn’t be heard on the stage’s carpeting. It would be great to have them come back. Even better, would be an opportunity to see their full show in December, either in Lacey or Olympia.
The humidity has been frightful lately. It reminds me of anywhere I’ve lived, where you have to keep rice in the salt shaker so that it will shake. Rice is also recommended when you get an electronic device (like a cell phone) wet. Turn it off, remove battery and "card" if possible and place in a closed container covered with rice. It’s worth a try.
