Make a Note of it   

THANK YOU, Executive Director Mendy Harlow and her team for hosting a spectacular After Hours event last week at The Salmon Center in Belfair.

More than 40 members and guests enjoyed a full hors de'oeuvre buffet, mixed and mingled, and learned about The Salmon Center's creative educational programs and good works. Mendy is pictured here with Trustee Herb Gerhardt, Mason Co. Public Hospital District 2.

Heidi Wolford, Cat Ross and Barbara Treick - thank you for coming! A great time was had by all ... see you next month at the Cameo Boutique in Union, with music by Michael Anthony Pratt.

COMMUNITY RESOURCE FAIR  
May 27, 1:30 - 6:30pm 
With the impending closures of Simpson Lumber Company and Olympic Panel Products, there are likely challenging times ahead. This event is designed to help our community navigate through the upcoming changes. All are welcome -- especially the employees of both companies and their families, along with other businesses and suppliers who may be impacted. The event will take place at the MTA Transit-Community Center at 601 W Franklin St, Shelton. Food and refreshments will be served from 4:30 - 6:00 PM.   
 Community Resource Fair

Basic services/utility companies, financial institutions, mortgage services, employment assistance agencies, and other community resources will be in attendance to answer questions, help with personal accounts and bills, and more.   

This free event is led by Peninsula Credit Union, Our Community Credit Union, the Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Council of Mason County, Bakala State Farm, Simpson Lumber Company and Olympic Panel Products with partners Fred Meyer, Mason Transit Authority, and Safeway.
