New friends, old friends, seasoned players and first timers all came out to play Bunco last night to raise funds in support of our life changing programs.

Big shout out to Corrie Shaw, Terri Townsend, Sarah F Steele, Todd McKellips and my NAWIC, South Sound Chapter #187 for all your help to make the night fun and successful with amazing raffle items and decorations.

Everyone had a good time, made new friends and learned a little more about how our program builds community and changes lives.

Thank you again for all your support! We will see you at the next event!

Last night we celebrated with our community at the annual Community Summit! This event has been happening for 31 years and such a gift to be able to come together to learn and celebrate this years community heros.

I so wish we could recognize all who give so much of their time and soul to help others. Know that what you do matters and it is so very appreciated!

Thank you to all the public officials who showed up to support this event. It truly matters.

Dr. Andre Stout kept us in stitches as he talked about the importance of kindness.

The sweetest moment for me was the special remembrance of our friend Scarlet Taft who died last fall. Building Beyond the Walls and Calvary Kids Closet were given recognition in her memory. Scarlet was the hands and feet of Jesus. She loved and help support the work we do. Thank you Marilee Hill-Anderson for honoring us in her memory. 💞

Truly, a wonderful night of community. We hope to see you next year!

Sunday funday! We spent the day assembling this beautiful ramp for Sundance Circle Hippotherapy that will enable them to safely help children and adults with disabilities mount the horses for therapy!

First step is to remove the old ramp. Demo is always fun! Building the sections on Saturday made the ability to install the ramp possible in just one day.

Mark designed a special riser that folds down for smaller clients and folds up when not needed!

Feeling so blessed to have these volunteers come out on a beautiful Sunday to give their time! Sunday is the only day they don't have clients so it had to be done!

No project goes without some surprises and we have brilliant volunteers who have creative solutions!Four hours turned into seven and we had fun!

Thank you Mark Egner for your leadership and so many hours behind the scenes to make our projects so successful!

Thank you to Joseph, Bill Waugh, Melanie Ozuna, John Ozuna, Danielle Renèe and Founder Sue Z. Hart for all your time this weekend! Your time will have a meaningful impact for years to come!
