OLYMPIA- The Volunteer Center of Lewis, Mason and Thurston Counties has sent out nearly 2,000 invitations to flood rescue and recovery volunteers who have helped out to a party in their honor on April 29. But any volunteer who helped with flood rescue or recovery is welcome to attend, and he or she may not know that the deadline for RSVPs is Friday.

Help us get the word out to these valuable volunteers. The celebration is from 5 to 7 p.m. April 29 in the Blue Pavilion at the Southwest Washington Fairgrounds, 2555 North National Ave., Chehalis.

The event includes appetizers, refreshments, keepsakes and a thank you message from local families helped during and after the flood. And the event is free thanks to sponsorship by Weyerhaeuser and supporting sponsorship by TransAlta.

All a volunteer needs to do to attend is RSVP by phone to 360-741-2615 or by e-mail at events@volunteer.ws by Friday.

The Center is a non-profit organization that boasts over 500 volunteer opportunities to choose from across the county. Find out how you can change the world. There’s still time to get involved with local disaster relief efforts visit www.volunteer.ws
