People coming together for summer lunches

To the Eagle:

I continue to be amazed and pleased with Cathlamet’s community organizations and volunteers.

I went to the Summer Lunch Program meeting at the Community Center last Monday at 1 p.m. I was impressed with the history of the program the last few years and the planning for this year's program. The program is run entirely by donations and volunteers to ensure good nutrition for children and adults in the summer. Good nutrition is essential to our children’s development, learning, health and feeling good.

Volunteers are needed for this program. The plan is for the program to run Monday – Thursday after summer school. Volunteers only need to work one day a week for eight weeks or less if summer plans would not allow this. Ideas for planning are welcome even if you can’t volunteer. It truly does take a community to raise a child.

I urge you to attend the next meeting on Monday, May 14, 2018, at 1 p.m. at the Community Center to see what we are about. We need you!

Hope to see you Monday. Just come to see what the program is about, needs, and if you can be of help or not. Any questions: please call me at 360/562-6612.
