Thanks to all who participated in our 2025 litter pick up along East Bay Drive! Notice the Republican Club sign that gives us recognition for our efforts. Let's make it even bigger next year!
Gary Parker has been giving us updates on the state legislature. Gary is a local resident and owner of BBQ2U (Barbeque to You). He asked for email addresses of anyone interested in receiving his updates on the legislative session currently happening in Olympia. If you didn’t get a chance to give him your email you can send him an email by clicking here and ask to be added to his list in the message section of his contact form. His spreadsheet format makes it easy to read a brief synopsis of each bill and click on the links to oppose (con) or support. The highlighted links take you to the “Committee Sign In-Written testimony” page. You don’t have to provide written comments if you don’t want to but just voting pro or con helps the representatives see where the public stands on that particular bill. Try it! It’s easy!
