ARLINGTON — More than 50 dogs and their twolegged friends gathered at the Haller Middle School Stadium on Saturday, May 18, for Arlington’s first ever Bark for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

“Donations are still coming in but as of now the first annual Bark for Life has raised over $2,300,” said Caryn Brown, one of the event organizers.

Forty-nine “civilian dogs” visited the event, which hosted raffles, live music from the band Kaleidescope and Arlington High School senior William Hoover, nail trims for dogs with a suggested donation of $5, canine treats and accessories, demonstrations from several working dogs, pur-

ple nail painting and more.

“I would like to give credit to Team Gourdheads — the Cantrell family — who formed a team to walk in support of their grandfather who has passed away recently from cancer. They have raised $1,630 in memory of Ottis Cantrell,” said Brown. “They attended Ottis’ memorial service right after participating in the walk.”

Bark for Life is a fundraising event that is part of Arlington’s annual Relay for Life, and began as a way to honor canine caregivers. According to the ACS, canine companions demonstrate unconditional love, joy, security, compassion and no judgments of cancer survivors’ abilities or appearances.

The long-running Voices of the Village band, seen here performing at the Medallion Hotel on May 18, is a program that Village Community Services provides to allow adults with disabilities a creative and social outlet.

SMOKEY POINT — Art Hutton still remembers when Village Community Services was just getting started nearly 50 years ago.

“It was established in 1964 as Victoria Village,” said Hutton, president of the VCS Board, during the VCS “A Picnic in the Country” gala fundraiser at the Medallion Hotel on Saturday, May 18. “We now own the building where our offices are located, and it’s named the Royal Pacific Building after [longtime VCS Board member] Royal Penewell. I miss Royal a lot.”

Even as the members of VCS reflected on the nonprofit organization’s past, they also looked forward

to a future of continuing to provide vocational and residential services to people with disabilities, as they’ve done since they were Victoria Village.

“People like to define our folks by their disabilities,” said Hutton, who explained that VCS aims to aid its clients develop the skills to succeed at work, at home and in the community. “We like to define them by their abilities, so they can live the best lives possible. My son has been involved in VCS for a long time, and it’s enriched his life tenfold.”

Hutton explained that VCS provides long-term residential support and life skills training to afford their clients safe independence, in addition SEE VCS, PAGE 2

Dogs donned purple Relay for Life bandanas and leashes, purple toenails and even purple doggie outfits to show support for the cause. Canine companions participated in doggie games including ‘Bobbing for Hot Dogs’ and a peanut butter eating contest.

Highlights of the event included demonstrations from working dogs.

Snohomish County Sheriff ’s deputies Brandon McCollar and Matt Boice brought K-9 Deputy Lydar, a 7-year-old German Shepherd. The

crowd gathered to watch Lydar chase down and apprehend Boice, who was wearing a protective arm guard, to show how dogs can assist law enforcement.

“He was only 16 months old when I got him,” said McCollar. “We use him mostly to apprehend people who have fled from police during or after a crime — this is usually crimes of violence for the most part.”

Two dancing dogs performed with their owners, Corrine Lawson and Mitzi Jorgensen, as part of the K9 Freestyle group. Sage, a nose work dog, was a special guest for the event because she has active sar-

coma after being bitten by a rattlesnake.

Perhaps one of the most impressive dog demonstrations included Springfield, a 10-year-old labrador who was able to sniff out a single human tooth placed beneath one of 10 planters.

Her owner, Christina Bunn, explained how Springfield is a volunteer Snohomish County search animal.

“I just retired her, but I served with her in this county for nine years,” said Bunn. “She can find or try to locate old human remains, buried or on the surface, anything from a drop of blood to a whole body. Typically a cadaver

dog is looking for recently deceased people, but what she can find is any sort of remains, even if it is old evidence. We’ve been asked to help on cases that were 15 years old.”

Josh Clark attended Bark for Life with his daughters, Madison and Emerson, and his 5-year-old rottweiler, Roman.

“My daughter Madison told me about this because her aunt is part of Relay,” said Clark. “We will certainly be back next year, it’s a nice event.”

Brown said that although the murky weather kept some visitors at bay, she plans to bring Bark for Life back again next year.

to providing employment and job training opportunities that allow them economic self-sufficiency as well.

“We find jobs to fit our folks’ abilities,” Hutton said.

“We even look into volunteer work for them, to get them involved in their community.”

Hutton reported that VCS serves at least 200 adults with disabilities each year, in addition to employing an estimated 80 caregivers and vocational trainers for those clients. He also touted the creative and social outlets of VCS’s music and arts programs, including the longrunning Voices of the Village

band that performed that evening, which are designed to foster self-expression and bonds of friendship.

“Our goal is to raise $250,000, which might seem like chump change when people are spending $635 million for a basketball team,” Hutton said. “We’re already underwritten by a lot of wonderful people.”

Michelle Dietz, director of development for VCS, called out a few of those individuals and groups by name, including Joanne Levy representing the World Financial Group, and Levy’s daughter Suzanne Garrett representing the Heartland Institute of Financial Education.

“We’d raised $15,000 before this event even started,” said Dietz, before

she led a chorus of “Happy Birthday” in honor of Levy, who turned 80 years old the following day. “That’s more than we raised last year.”

“We’ve worked with VCS for about 13-14 years,” said Brett Williams of UBS. “I’ve been able to personally witness the time, effort and energy that these people invest in it. They do not take this lightly. You all are doing a great job, so keep on doing it.”

In addition to support from organizations such as the Puget Sound Kidney Center, SEIU 925 and Edward Jones, Bank of America contributed a grant of $5,000 to VCS. For more information, log onto www.villagecommunitysvcs.org.

Twin Lakes fishing event draws hundreds of kids

“I filled these waters with 4,000 fish yesterday. A bunch of them were between 3-6 pounds. It’s frustrating when you know they’re out there but they’re not biting.”

Jim Brauch, Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club

its first-time trip to Twin Lakes, whose kids’ fishing event they’d heard about at the Jennings Park kids’ fishing event also presented by the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club, Smith’s father, Darryl Thorn, described their family’s visits to the park tongue-in-cheek as a “religious pilgrimage.”

“If it wasn’t for groups like the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club, this wouldn’t even be possible,” Thorn said. “As soon as we get home, we’re filleting some fish right away for tonight, and the rest we’ll freeze for later on.”

Everett’s Julisha Hampton, 10, enjoys the experience

of catching fish, but leaves the actual eating of them to her cousin, Kahlia Carswell.

Regardless of whether the young fishers ate fish dinners that night, Brauch echoed Baker and Thorn’s sentiments about the importance of getting kids outdoors.

“It’s something for them to do besides watching TV and spending time on the computer,” said Brauch, before laughing, “I’ve been so busy setting up these fishing derbies that next weekend will be my first chance to fishing myself this season.”

LAKEWOOD — The waters were stocked but the fish were hardly biting at Twin Lakes County Park for the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club’s kids’ fishing event on Saturday, May 18.

“I filled these waters with 4,000 fish yesterday,” Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club event organizer Jim Brauch said on May 18. “A bunch of them were between 3-6 pounds. It’s frustrating when you know they’re out there but they’re not biting.”

Brauch also noted that the day’s estimated attendance of between 200-250 young fishers was down from the usual range of 400-500, although the banks were still lined with families casting their reels, including Arlington’s Joey Baker, who brought his 3-year-old daughter Addison to try her hand at catching some big ones.

“We’ve come here a couple

of times before, but this is our first fishing derby here,” Joey Baker said. “A group of kids gave her some power bait, and everybody kind of keeps an eye out for everybody else. They do a really great job of keeping the kids busy and showing them the kind of stuff that my dad taught me.”

Angie Moore brought a group of young fishers with developmental disabilities, through the county Parks and Recreation’s Specialized Programs, from as near as Arlington, Lake Stevens and Snohomish, and as far as Kirkland, Gold Bar and Federal Way. “Our goal is to get the special needs community to mix with the regular community, and also to get them out and about,” Moore said.

Marysville’s Aaron Tang, 4, and Kaleb Smith, 6, both caught strings of fish, but they couldn’t be more dissimilar otherwise. While Tang’s family was making

Fixing culverts is good for everyone

ndian tribes in western Washington have long been using our treaty rights to protect and restore the salmon resource to the benefit of everyone who lives here. A good recent example is the federal court’s March 29 ruling in the culvert case brought against the state by the tribes back in 2001.

The state of Washington must fix fish-blocking culverts under state-owned roads because they violate tribal treaty-reserved fishing rights, federal Judge Ricardo Martinez ruled in late March. The court found that more than 1,500 state culverts deny salmon access to hundreds of miles of good habitat in western Washington, harming salmon at every stage in their life cycle.

We didn’t want to file this litigation, but the salmon can’t wait. At the pace that the state has been repairing its blocking culverts, there would be few, if any, salmon left by the time all were fixed.

Martinez’s ruling will result in hundreds of thousands more salmon returning to Washington waters each year. These salmon will be available for harvest by everyone who lives here, not just the tribes.

We could have avoided the suit if the state followed its own laws.

One of Washington’s first laws on the books requires fish passage at

BEING FRANK

BILLY FRANK JR. any blockage in creeks and rivers.

Instead, the state chose to largely ignore the problem along with the tribes’ treaty rights, which depend on salmon being available for harvest. And once again, our treaty rights were upheld by the federal courts, just as they have been consistently since the 1974 Boldt decision that re-affirmed those rights and established the tribes as co-managers of the salmon resource.

This isn’t something new to the tribes. The state’s approach has long been to ignore treaty rights even if that means ignoring the best interests of all of its citizens.

State agencies told the Legislature in 1995 that fixing culverts was one of the most costeffective strategies for restoring salmon habitat and increasing natural salmon production. The cost to benefit ratio goes up as the number of culverts repaired per year increases, they said. Two years later, state agencies said every dollar spent fixing culverts would generate four dollars’ worth

of additional salmon production.

Recent studies support that estimate.

Still, Judge Martinez had to issue a permanent injunction against the state’s continued operation of fish-blocking culverts under state roads. The reason is that the state has actually reduced culvert repair efforts in the past three years, which has led to a net increase in the number of barrier culverts. At the current pace, the state would never complete repairs, Martinez said, because more culverts were becoming barriers to salmon than were being fixed.

The federal court’s ruling will not bankrupt the state. Judge Martinez gave the state and its Department of Transportation (DOT) 17 years to complete repairs. Other state agencies were already planning to have their blocking culverts corrected within the next three years.

Culvert repair cost estimates being provided by the state are higher than the actual repair costs presented in court, Martinez ruled.

The state claims that the average cost to replace a state DOT culvert is $2.3 million. But the evidence showed the actual cost of DOT culverts built to the best fish passage standards has been about $658,000.

It’s important to note that

repairs will be funded through the state’s separate transportation budget and will not come at the expense of education or other social services. It’s also important to understand that state law already requires that culverts allow fish passage. The culvert case ruling directs the state to do nothing more than what is already required, except to correct DOT fish-blocking culverts at a faster rate.

The treaty Indian tribes bring much to the salmon management table. Salmon populations in western Washington would be in far worse shape without the salmon recovery efforts, fisheries management expertise, leadership, hatcheries, funding, and traditional knowledge the tribes provide. More habitat would be lost, fewer salmon would be available for harvest, and there would be far less funding for salmon recovery.

We prefer to cooperate rather than litigate to achieve salmon recovery. But if our treaty rights can be used to re-open these streams and enhance wild salmon populations, that’s a win-win for all of us.

Billy Frank Jr. is the Chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

Arlington, Marysville observe Memorial Day NE, and the Marysville Cemetery, located at 8801 State Ave. Prior to that point, however, Arlington American Legion members and volunteers will be raising flags at the Arlington Cemetery that morning, before the city of Arlington’s annual Memorial

Day parade marches down Olympic Avenue starting at 10 a.m. that day.

The “Avenue of Flags” has been a Memorial Day tradition at the Arlington Cemetery for more than 25 years. Each year, city staff place extra emphasis on cemetery grounds main-

tenance in preparation for Memorial Day, making sure all the lawns are trimmed and edged, setting the stage for the Arlington American Legion and Boy Scouts to unpack and set up 800 flags around the Veterans Memorial and along the roads throughout the cemetery. This year, thanks to a generous donation by the Arlington Boy Scouts and

American Legion, there will be an additional 40 flags around the Arlington Cemetery.

The Marysville Cemetery’s Memorial Day service will likewise sport more than 230 veterans’ flags placed by community volunteers, cemetery staff and Marysville American Legion members, and is expected to feature the Marysville-Pilchuck

High School Band and Naval Junior ROTC Color Guard.

Following the Marysville Memorial Day service, the public is invited to an open house and light lunch at the Marysville American Legion Post Hall, at the corner of Second Street and Cedar Avenue, from noon to 2 p.m.

Seating for both events is limited, and both are free and open to the public.

Lady Eagles win District 1 title, head to state

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MONROE — The Arlington girls softball team is headed to the WIAA State Softball Championships in Spokane from May 24-27, after winning the district championships at Sky River Park on Thursday, May 16.

“This is pretty much the same team as last year, the only thing we changed was the middle infield,” said head coach Dan Eng. “The team matured and it just came together for us.

This is a bunch of young ladies with determination who wanted to take care of unfinished business, especially the seniors that came in as star freshmen. They wanted to fulfill those high expectations.”

The Lady Eagles beat Kamiak in the quarterfinal game on Tuesday, May 14, finishing 9-3. In the semifinal round, the Eagles shut out Cascade in five innings, with a 13-0 victory.

In their May 14 game against Kamiak, the Eagles consistently scored runs in the second, third and fourth innings, the latter of which finished with six runs scored, giving the Eagles a 9-0 lead. The Knights managed three runs in the last two innings, but couldn’t overpower the Eagles. Senior Ronnie Ladines scored two home runs, while Senior Hayden Fields hit one homer and had an RBI double on top

of her winning pitches on the mound.

The semifinal game reached its peak in the second inning when Arlington powered out six runs, and Ladines went 5-for-7 at the plate, including another two home runs.

The 4A District 1 Championship game took place again at Sky River Park, on Thursday, May 16.

The Eagles played on the same field as their illfated 2012 state-qualifying game against MarysvillePilchuck, a loss that barred the Wesco 4A North top team from playing at the state championships.

There was no stopping them this time, however.

The Eagles came on the field to face local division rival Lake Stevens, and pulled off their second shutout of the tournament, with a 3-0 victory over the Vikings.

Pitching once again after a basketball injury kept her out of the game until the end of April, Ladines pitched seven innings with 12 strikeouts. Senior Hayley Fields scored a home run in the fourth inning, bringing the Eagles’ lead to 2-0 after Katelynn Kazen scored in the second inning. Lynsey Amundson ran in another run on an RBI single from Marisa Rathert in the fifth inning, which brought their score up to 3-0. The team kept the Vikings scoreless in the last two innings and

with that sealed their first district title for the senior players.

“The hard part now is playing at state,” said Eng. “All the teams that have made it are no pushovers.

We practice every day, we hit every day, we work on fielding and fundamentals, and the team took all those tasks to heart. They worked hard supporting each other.”

Eng applauded the entire team for their dedication, and noted that several pairings worked like magic for the team.

“The pitcher-catcher dynamic is important and it takes that combination to win. Ronnie Ladines has been a leader since I had her as a freshman, and she was obviously very excited to get the district title under her belt. So was Lynsey Amundson, who has really been the backbone of this team. Those two have been together since they were little girls playing Stilly Valley Little League, and they just have this unwritten way of communicating.”

Ladines and Amundson agreed with Eng. “It’s really great because me and Ronnie have been pitching-catching since we were nine years old,” said Amundsen. “There is a thing we have that’s carried on throughout the years.

This team has been a family atmosphere and we really came together this year, and I think that’s why we’ve done

so well. And being seniors, it’s icing on the cake to be district champions.”

“We’ve been playing so well recently, we want to keep it the same and just keep playing like we have been,” said Ladines, who will play for Kent State University next year. “I was pretty confident. Our whole team stepped it up with our freshman coming in and hitting a home run, every single person contributing.

I’m just trying to get as far as we can and I know this team is capable of a lot of things, and if we keep playing the way we do, we will make it really far.”

Another winning dynamic for the Eagles is the Fields family — which includes Hayden, Hayley and Kendall Fields as Eagle softball players. Hayden and Hayley are seniors this year and excited to be able to play with their little sister Kendall, a freshman.

“Hayley had a 21-game hitting streak. She is a phenomenal hitter. And you know she helped the team a lot in the first 12 games when Ronnie’s finger was broken. They are a very tight family. Hayden and Hayley are actually triplets and their number one fan, Hannah, is always in the stands.”

The Eagles will take the support of the community with them when they travel to Spokane for the state championships on Friday, May 24.

“The Arlington community and school are all

amazing,” said Amundson, who will play for Western Washington University next year. “You come to school and people say, ‘Congrats on your game!’ All of the parents and grandparents are supportive, and when you walk around town, people are congratulating you on your success.”

“At state, our goal is to leave it all out on the field,” she said. This is the last of our games at Arlington High School. This is everything we’ve worked for all year and in the off-season and hopefully it will come together this weekend.

Hopefully we can go out and win.”

Cougars win big at Bi-District Championships

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Senior Justin Peterson took first place in triple jump at the Bi-District meet. He also finished in first place in the high jump.

BELLINGHAM — The Lakewood Cougar boys track and field team took fifth place at the Bi-District Championships on May 15 and May 17, while the girls team took 10th place in the event held at Civic Stadium.

Lakewood senior Justin Peterson took first place in the high jump and the triple jump, with final results of 6-01.00 and 43-02.50 respectively. Junior Andrew Stich took second place in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.56. Stich also took third place in the 300-meter hurdles with a final time of 40.13. Junior Skylar Cannon took third place in the girls javelin with a 121-01.

“Andrew Stich made it in the 110-

and 300-meter hurdles, Skylar Cannon made it in javelin and Justin Peterson in the high jump and triple jump,” said head coach Jeff Sowards. Stich, Cannon and Peterson are the Cougars who will advance to the WIAA State Track and Field Championships at Mount Tahoma High School from May 23-25. Sowards was wary of comparing this season to last for Peterson, who took first place at state in 2012.

“I don’t want to necessarily say that I think he’ll win it again — but he had his best meet of the season. He did really well when he got back on his correct take off foot, and he is definitely moving in a good direction.”

Stich is making the trip to Tacoma for the first time this year.

“It is his first time at state and he’s

a junior,” said Sowards. “It might have looked like a bit of a surprise but he has performed well in both the 110and 300-meter hurdles all season.”

Cannon is somewhat of a veteran state qualifier, having made it to the championships since she was a freshman.

“This is Skylar’s third trip to the state meet,” said Sowards. “She went her freshman, sophomore and junior year.”

Overall, the Bi-District Meet was a chance for the Cougars to prove what they are worth.

“I think the kids were excited. The competition is the best in the state and the best in every classification. It will not be surprising if people make it out of this district, that they also stand on the podium at state.”

womb and is paralyzed from the waist down.

“Basically, the nerves don’t form properly, and for her it’s mostly in the lower half of her body,” said Leisa Evans, Abby’s mother. “She’s pretty independent. She got her first wheelchair when she was 2 years old.”

Now 10, Evans uses a power wheelchair to be mobile in her home, which is not entirely wheelchair accessible — the front entrance has two separate stairways from the sidewalk.

The Evans family applied to be a Snohomish County recipient of a ramp for their home in February, and found out that they had been chosen only three weeks prior to the event.

Volunteers from Gamut 360 spent their Saturday building the ramp and helping in other ways around the home, doing yard work and pulling weeds. The ramp that they built included a railing and was supported by the steps beneath it.

“We just want to make it safe for her,” said Trevor De Ieso, the building captain. “We’ve got the field, the office, and the management here helping out. This ramp will be secured and built correctly. The existing ramp was just a piece of plywood on blocks with

carpet on top for traction.

We are building a handrail so that she doesn’t fall off because apparently she has fallen off before. We want it to be safe.”

“The ramp that we had here is one that we makeshifted together, and she had driven off the side a couple times and was scared to use it,” said Evans. “When we found out a few weeks ago that they had chosen

our home, I cried. It’s just such a huge blessing and Abby is so excited.”

Since its inception, the Rampathon event has built more than 350 free ramps throughout King and Snohomish counties.

The Master Builders Care Foundation is a nonprofit organization. For more information on the group visit http://masterbuildersinfo.com.

Cell phone recycling helps victims of domestic violence

Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County is recycling cell phones.

Cell phones even without service can call 911 when charged. Cell phones may be given to victims of domestic violence to keep them safe.

Older phones, or phones that are broken, missing chargers, etc., can be sent to phone recyclers which will pay from 50 cents to $20 per phone.

Money received from phone recycling is used to help fund programs and services offered free of charge to victims of domes-

tic violence and their children.

Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County is now also able to

accept iPads and iPhones.

Phones may be dropped off at the New and Again Thrift Shoppe located at 3116 Rucker Ave. in Everett.

McTeacher’s Night raises funds

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — After raising $409 for “Meals ‘til Monday” at their May 4 “Safeway Takeover,” the Arlington High School DECA program raised an additional $475 for “Meals ‘til Monday” through their McTeacher’s Night at the Arlington McDonald’s on Thursday, May 16.

As many as 10 DECA students were joined by three teachers and six para-educator and administrative staff members that evening to support “Meals ‘til Monday,” which works with the Arlington Community Food Bank to provide weekend meals to K-12 students in the Arlington School District who qualify for free and reduced-price lunches during the school week.

“Sarah Katanik, a volunteer with the Food Bank, contacted us to ask for our assistance, since she’s our contact when we get family names for our Santa’s Helpers program for DECA,” said Tyler Payne, marketing education teacher and DECA advisor for AHS. “I see Arlington as a very close-knit community, where we do the best we can to take care of one another. Without programs like this and other forms of community support, many of the district’s students would be famished throughout the weekend.”

Although a number of school staff members brought experience from previous McTeacher’s Nights, the rapid pace and multiple tasks proved trying.

“Watching the screens of what was coming up next, and making sure everyone’s order was accurate with no mix-ups, were no small orders,” Payne said. “The easiest job was the fryer.

I liked the working drivethru, because you get to chat with customers who

are coming by to support the program. The station where you bag the drivethru items was still stressful, though, since you’re always rushing against the clock to get the food to the drive-thru window.”

Michael Cartwright, vice president in charge of business partnerships for the AHS DECA, was among the students who enjoyed seeing school staff working different positions, as well as volunteering at the Arlington McDonald’s that evening themselves.

AHS secretary Liz Ries reported that the students enthusiastically waved signs on the street to entice passerby into the Arlington McDonald’s, and she echoed Payne’s appreciation for the work that McDonald’s employees do every day.

“Serving up fries was easy, but trying to keep up with the order screens was challenging, and it was hot working in that area,” Ries said. “The orders changed from second-to-second, and we needed to make sure we had enough fries at all times.”

At the same time, Ries also had fun conversing with patrons, and emphasized the importance of “Meals ‘til Monday” to the families that it serves.

“As a mom, I cannot begin to imagine my child feeling hunger pangs when school is out, solely because I didn’t make enough to provide something so basic as food on our table,” Ries said. “The summer months must feel like an eternity for them.

It’s our responsibility to share in the burdens faced by our community as best we can. We never know when it could be us relying on the generosity of others, and we must not lose our focus to put our children first.”

“Meals ‘til Monday” and

the Arlington Community Food Bank will receive further support from Jon Murray’s “Murrathon” marathon fundraiser on Friday, May 31.

The next AHS DECA McTeacher’s Night is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 21 at the Arlington McDonald’s.

Business After Hours draws growing crowds

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce’s Business After Hours on Thursday, May 16, drew representa-

tives of credit card services, spas, insurance agencies, Avon and Walmart to the Coastal Community Bank in Smokey Point, as part of what event coordinators see as a growing trend for this monthly gettogether.

“How many new businesses’ grand openings have we been to lately?” asked Michele Wiley, chair of the Business After Hours, which meets the third Thursday of every month. “We only started with a couple of businesses’ representatives attending these meetings, but it’s built up to between 25-45 for each Business After Hours.”

Wiley attributes this dramatic increase in attendance to the Chamber’s use of newsletters, online social media such as Facebook, and traditional press such as The Arlington Times, although she was quick to credit the businesses that comprise the Chamber as well.

“Many of our businesses will even advertise these Business After Hours meetings for us,” Wiley said. “The networking opportunities have not only introduced new businesses to lots of other businesses, but they’ve also brought a number of older businesses back into the fold.”

Wiley explained that the Chamber has added ambassadors and done what they can to add variety to the businesses that host and are showcased by the Business After Hours meetings.

“It’s a different mix each time, so you’re not always meeting the same people,” Wiley said. “The Chamber is now asking its businesses, ‘Are you taking advantage of your membership?’

We encourage the businesses who attend to invite their customers as well, so that the customers can network with businesses they might not have met.”

For the June Business After Hours, Wiley is already aiming for an outdoor barbecue, to take advantage of the summer weather that might otherwise diminish the meeting’s attendance.

“We are committed to supporting the businesses in our community,” Wiley said.
