If time allows . . .

If you have the time to explore the Olympia area here are some fun things to do.  The Farmer's Market offers local produce, music and crafts.  Plus all the great food vendors that sell a variety of meals to eat on-site as well.

If getting close to Mother Nature is something that interests you the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge offers beautiful scenery, great walking paths and wild birds galore to see.

Of course, there is always the capitol building and the surrounding gardens.

 

Busy, Busy, Busy

Your planning committee is firming up the details for our gathering -- only 2 months away.



As it was stated in the invitation -- one of the activities being planned is an auction of items provided by you -- the attendee.

This will not only be a fun activity but it will give us an opportunity to take away another souvenir of the day. 

Money collected from the auction will help offset the expenses of food, drink, tableware, prizes, photographer's session fee and park rental.  Any funds collected not needed for the expenses will be donated to the local food bank.

Are you stumped about what to bring?

Here's an idea for those of us who are all thumbs when it comes to building bird houses or gluing dried macaroni pieces onto paper to create a picture. 

 

Re-gifting may be frowned upon in some social circles but in this case we embrace the idea.

Perhaps you have an item in your closet that is very nice but just not your style or your taste.

You are welcomed to bring it and place it on the auction table.

FYI -- I got to see a small section of a fantastic quilt that is being made for the auction by an accomplished quilter.  It is spectacular.
