On June 14, the Cathlamet Woman's Club recognized its 2024 Citizen of the Year, Wahkiakum Shoeboxes of Joy/Season Long with Crystal Baker accepting the award at the beautiful Julia Butler Hanson rose garden.

Thank you to those who chose to attend the annual event on Flag Day and Julia Butler Hanson's birthday. Mayor David Olson read the Julia Butler Hansen Day Proclamation and Frank Corbin Resolution honoring Julia Butler Hansen.

The song "America the Beautiful" was performed beautifully by Heather Smith and Dawn Rachele Holman. Festivities continued with the VFW flag raising at the Cathlamet Public Library and refreshments at the Pioneer Community Center. The General Federation of Women's Club motto is "Unity in Diversity."
