Members, friends and anyone connected with the local NAACP are invited to an appreciation celebration on Jan. 17. Youth are invited to get involved in an outdoor service project on the same day.
Youth will meet at 10:30 a.m. Jan. 17 at the Vancouver Housing Authority building, 2500 Main Street, before heading out on the service project, according to Rev. Marva Edwards, president of the NAACP Vancouver. Those who have participated in the Rites of Passage summer program are especially encouraged to turn out. Details of the service project aren’t finalized yet but should be soon, Edwards said.
A general celebration of the NAACP Vancouver and all its community partners starts at 11 a.m. in the same location. “We want to thank all the people and groups and everybody who works with us throughout the year,” Edwards said.
Whichever part of the day you want to attend, please RSVP to Edwards so she knows how many to plan for. Call 360-750-1224 or email revmarva@yahoo.com.
