To The Eagle:
The 2nd Annual Living Well in Wahkiakum resource event was held on November 5 at the Grays River Valley Center in Rosburg. This event brought together resources like DSHS, Peace Health, NorthWest Justice, 911, Area on Aging and Disabilities, Goodwill, the area Food Banks, Washington Health, Longview CAP and many, many more. Residents received information on all available assistance in Wahkiakum County. Approximately 100 people attended this daylong event that also included a wonderful hot lunch. This event gave everyone the opportunity to get questions answered, enroll in programs, sign up as volunteers and gather brochures from vendors. Much of the feedback received included comments such as “I didn’t know there was so much available in our county!” and “ I came for one thing and walked away with so much more!”
The Living Well in Wahkiakum event was a tremendous success in part to all the hard work from an amazing bunch of volunteers that stepped in at the last minute to help out. We want to extend a big thank you to Andrea Phelps, Cris Furlow, Boone Mora, Paris Cothren, Tori Ware, Dan Tchozewski, P.J. Katims and the many VIPS volunteers. We would also like to send out a thank you to the Grays River Valley Center and its board for letting us utilize their facility and for all their help in preparing for this great event.
I’m sure I have missed a few but I also want to thank the many other people that helped put this all together and made this day possible. I received nothing but the greatest praise from the vendors and community alike on the need for this type of resource event and the desire for it to happen again in the future.
