The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG–Join Waitsburg Commercial Club for its annual community service awards dinner and auction. This year the club will recognize community volunteers, employees, and businesses that make Waitsburg “one of a kind” at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18, at American 35. Enjoy a dinner of artisan pizza, salad, and a complimentary glass of beer or wine for $25 for WCC members and $35 for nonmembers.

Tickets at Eventbrite.com, tinyurl.com/ or contact Commercial Club at (509) 316-1488 or email  waitsburgcc@icloud.com.

This year the event is co-sponsored by the Port of Walla Walla and Inland Cellular. As is the tradition, honorees will be introduced and presented their awards by those who nominated them. The club organizers keep the names of the award winners secret until the event on April 18.

Special Appreciation Awards will be presented to Bev Rising from Banner Bank and Doug Hinds from Pacific Power for their years of community service.

Bev Rising has been a Dayton Chamber and Waitsburg Commercial Club board member. She offered professional expertise and often volunteered to help at many Chamber and Club-sponsored events.

While working for Pacific Power, Doug Hinds volunteered to hang Main Street banners in Dayton and Waitsburg and helped elementary school students to decorate their community Christmas trees.
