Make decorations for the YSNN TREE for Yakima Valley Museum Holiday Lights Extravaganza, the first week of December!
2022-11-15 14:00 - 16:00 UTC
Greetings members, volunteers, donors, supporters!
This year the Yakima and Selah Neighbors’ Network is participating in the Yakima Valley Museum Holiday Lights Extravaganza, the first week of December! Non-profits set up holiday trees as a way of making their organizations more visible in the community. To decorate our tree, we have set up workshops at the studios of two of our members/artists—Lucy Valderhaug and Deborah Ann.
We are asking you to register for these workshops. No artistic skills are needed, just good spirits
Please choose your time and place and email Mary Lou Rozdilsky at mlrozdil@gmail.com to get registered.
You will receive a return email confirmation with the studio address.
Tuesday November 15: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm. (Come by to help, and stay as long as you wish.)

Lucy Valderhaug’s Studio in Yakima
Deborah Ann’s Studio in Terrace Heights

Monday November 21: 9:30 am – 11:30 am. (Come by to help, and stay as long as you wish.)

Friday morning finds many members, volunteers and friends meeting to walk. Although our walking speeds vary, we all share an appreciation for exercising outdoors. As well as improving our fitness levels, friendships have formed and a strong sense of community surrounds this group. The walking path is hard-surfaced and mostly flat with opportunity for short or longer circuits. We welcome newcomers. Meet the group at the north end of the parking area. One of us will connect you with a walking partner.

Meetings for November through January have been scheduled at the Starbucks conference room:

This group is open to all interested members, volunteers, donors, active in YSNN. If. You have been participating in the group you will get an invitation. Along with the invitation will be the reading for that meeting. New members should contact Chrissy Schott to join the group.
