You are invited to gather with us at 5440 over our common passion for nature and Steigerwald Lake, Franz Lake, and Pierce National Wildlife Refuges! We'll briefly discuss our successes from the past year, plans for the future, and then hear from some great speakers.

The event will include:
• Free Pizza

And two amazing guest speakers:

Mauricio Valadrian of NW Family Daycation and Valadrian Creative & Consulting will discuss community engagement and “Finding Relevance Across Difference.”
