Our annual Dinner with Friends will take place September 14th from 3 to 7pm at Gather and Feast Farm, 2706 NE 369th St, La Center, WA 98629. The food will be delicious, the setting beautiful, and the company even better. We hope you will join us for dinner and consider becoming a sponsor of the event or donating an auction item.
As you know, we hold our Dinner with Friends every year to celebrate our progress and fundraise in order to continue our critical work to advocate for a high quality of life for Clark County residents now and into the future. But this year will be very different, as our beloved Valerie Alexander is retiring from the Friends of Clark County Board of Directors.
Back in the 90’s, Val, a farmer, and her friends witnessed the land rush that preceded the approval of the Washington State Growth Management Act, and understood the irreversible changes and risks that could come with all the uncontrolled development. She knew there needed to be a strong voice to advocate for our open spaces, forests, and farmland. From there, Friends of Clark County was born, and Val has been our north star ever since. Now, Val has made the noble decision in her later years to focus on doing what she loves: growing food at Coyote Ridge Ranch in La Center.
So, let’s make this year’s Dinner with Friends the retirement bash that Val deserves. We hope you’ll join us to help celebrate Val’s immense contribution to Friends of Clark County and our community at large on September 14th!
