REGION 1 UPDATE

Region 1

The Region 1 CFD was full of gratitude, cuteness, and prizes. Led by EDAI Program Manager, Pakou Lee, the volunteers in region one collaborated to provide fun and interactive events in our fund-raising efforts. These included: sending a “Gratitude-gram” to those we appreciate, a photo contest of our pets in Halloween costumes (the winner is shown below), fall photo contest, and a Mystery Box full of all things Autumn. The winner taking home its contents. The proceeds of the Combined Fund Drive went to support the Spokane Humane Society and the American Red Cross.

Region 1 North RSW team in Spokane enjoyed a festive winter holiday party that incorporated learning activities for the group as well as amazing team-building and fun activities, along with good food. The 4 RSW teams built gingerbread houses that leadership “judged” for various fun and creative themes. It was truly a delight to see and hear the smiles, laughs, and music as the group enjoyed some much-deserved down-time that supported crucial team building.

Region 1 South Union Gap ALTSA office that houses HCS, RCS, and APS put on a Holiday Party that enjoyed food and a Silent Auction to raise money for a local charity (Rod’s House). Rod’s House assists homeless youth and offers behavioral health services in the Yakima area. The Silent Auction was very successful in raising $1021 dollars for Rod’s House and all had a great time bidding against each other!
