Here is a story to remember and there are 10 women who can verify it.
For 26 years Arlington has had a thrift store named Helping Hands. People helping people. The store takes donations from the community then sells them back by the bag full.
The Charley Rose show on PBS, Feb. 13, featured Richard Branson. Branson, British entrepreneur and idea-man was discussing the dismal reality of global warming and the critical need to act to halt or slow its effects.

How can we of the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Association thank all of you? The yearly (and sometimes biannual) Pioneer Garage Sale grew from a financial necessity to practically a community tradition. Most may not remember those earlier years, when our members (all volunteers) were not only holding the garage sales, but also building a museum at the same time. This continues to be our on going task. Everything takes time and effort. So, like all good things, the sales must come to an end. At our last meeting we voted to retire the garage sale. It in no way reflects the lack of community support in donations or sales. It is more a reflection of our ability to provide the required time and effort to run a successful museum. We will not be accepting items of any kind for sale. We do invite you to come visit our museum and if you are so moved, to join our organization

On behalf of the Marysville Community Food Bank, I want to express out deep appreciation to all the Postal Workers who participated in the Letter Carriers Food Drive on May 12, 2007. We also extend a special thanks to Rocky, the Post Office coordinator for the drive. The extra time and effort resulted in a collection of 35, 196 pounds of food, all of which will remain in Marysville and will be distributed to the hungry in our service area.
