Volunteers make everyone welcome at free dinner Free dinner will be served in Sultan on Thursday.It takes months of planning by dedicated workers who divvy things up, down to who brings the cans of Coffee Mate. Dave Wood, director of Sky Valley Services, Volunteers of America Western Washington, is at the helm. He said it’s so much fun. Wood mentioned a very sweet volunteer job, perhaps the most important at the meal, served from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday at 617 First St. They make sure someone sits down with every guest before folks even get napkins on their laps. A volunteer says “hello” and makes each visitor feel at home. Third-grade students at Emerson Intermediate Center in Snohomish are building cancer kits for patients at Everett Cancer Partnership. They need blankets, hats, nuts, sugarless gum, beef jerky and other items, says teacher Kim Moritz. They also are writing positive messages and poetry to go inside the kits. Donations can be dropped off at Emerson, 1103 Pine St., Snohomish, or call Moritz at 360-563-7173. Sultan High School students and families made money for the school recently by test driving new Ford cars and trucks. Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program raised $740 for the athletic department. For everyone who took a test drive, Sno-Country Ford and Ford Motor Co. donated $20. “It was pouring that day, so we appreciate everyone who braved the rains to come out and show their support for Sultan High School,” says Charlie Weaver, parts and service director at Sno-Country Ford. “Our schools need our support now more than ever, so we were proud to help. “The funds are very much needed and will be put to good use,” says Scott Sifferman, assistant vice principal and athletic director at Sultan High School. Everett History Week was informative, and profitable. Historic Everett offered a spaghetti dinner and silent auction, a program about the 1916 Everett Massacre and Everett trivia night at the Anchor Pub. They raised $3,500 at the spaghetti dinner. Goldwing Touring Association Chapter C, a motorcycle group located in Everett, is sponsoring an underwear and socks drive to benefit Christmas House. Deliver goods to Everett Powersports, 215 Everett Mall Way, Everett, by Dec. 4. They are collecting new goods, in the package. On Monday, a History of Popular Song program will be presented at Mountlake Terrace Library. There will be songs from Broadway and Tin Pan Alley. The free program begins at 7 p.m. at 23300 58th Ave. W. next to the old City Hall. We asked managing librarian Rosy Brewer: Aren’t libraries supposed to be quiet? “Not anymore,” she says.
