You are invited to join us for our weekly Friday night potluck dinners. We will begin hosting the dinners on Friday, August 7th (7:00 PM). Our address is 1320 8th Ave SE, Olympia 98501 Here’s the deal with the dinners: We invite our friends, family, neighbors, and supporters. Our guests at the Women’s Guesthouse invite their friends and family. We put on some music (think Woody Guthrie or Utah Phillips), lay out the food, eat, laugh, and chase the children around the house. It’s a really good time. The Friday dinners are also the best way to get to know our community. Interested in volunteering? Come to dinner and you’ll get plugged in. Want to know who your contributions support and how? Come meet them and share a meal together! To learn more about our dinners, and why we host them, please see our “Community Meals” page on this website.

(From OAN’s website) “Inspired by President Obama’s call for change, the Olympia Action Network is a service organization that provides our community with opportunities to ‘be the change’.” If you are interested in joining OAN, email olyactionnetwork@hotmail.com or visit their Facebook page. Thanks OAN! Six volunteers from Olympia Action Network spent Saturday morning last weekend scrubbing and priming walls for painting. Thanks to these generous volunteers, we’re almost ready to paint!

On Friday, May 15th, the Realtors Association sent a VERY large crowd of volunteers to help us clean the House of Hospitality. They cleared the front yard to make way for a veggie garden, trimmed and pruned the back yard, emptied the house of all garbage and clutter (filling an entire construction dumpster!), and got a good start at priming the interior walls for painting. Hundreds of volunteer hours – all in one morning. We’d be lost without the very generous support of people like our local realtors. Great job, folks! |
