I live in B’ham and had the honor of welcoming friends as they landed at Birch Bay in previous years. I can volunteer on July 24th or July 28th.
Judith,
Lummi is hosting volunteer orientation trainings on July 19th and 20th, from 12:00 – 3:00 pm in Lummi Wex’liem Building. Are you able to make the training? They are requesting all volunteers attend. During the trainings, I’m hoping you can sign up for volunteer activities and get info you need. Call Freddie Lane at 360.391.7560 if you have any other questions.
Can you post a few days before the canoes land at Lummi so we know when to come there to celebrate?
thx.
