Community Service Project

The Spring Conference included an opportunity to participate in a community service project on Wednesday morning, April 29.

The project involves trail maintenance in Cullaby Lake County Park, located on the east side of Hwy 101 approximately eight miles north of the Seaside Convention Center. All of the materials and supplies will be provided by Clatsop County. All you need to bring is a pair of work gloves, a pair of sturdy boots and a desire for a bit of hard work and fresh air.
