A big "Thank You" to Jackie Kiter, Lya Badgley and all the other volunteers that helped support the booth at this years Kla Ha Ya Days Event.

The 150th anniversary committee thought Jackie's idea to have a booth at the kla ha ya Days event was great and asked her to proceed with the coordination of the booth. The booth at the Kla Ha Ya festival was to promote the 150th anniversary of Snohomish and begin fundraising. It did that and more, several residents commented on the great work.

The board of directors elected the following as the officers:

• President: Jeff Gilpin
• Vice President: Todd Elvig
• Secretary: Kathy Sloan
• Treasurer: Sue Sullivan
• At-Large: Wayne Warren, Danna Gilpin, Debbie Emge,
  Jackie Kiter, James McAllister, John Gamble, Judy Chapman,
  Middy Ruthruff, Vina Donow, Bruce A. Ferguson

Some of the ideas presented were:

• Arts Month
  
• River Fair
  
• Sports Month
  
• Jackie Kiter suggested a community photo. Todd Elvig was willing to do the photography. The idea of asking the school district if we could use Veteran's Memorial Stadium as the venue. It would be important to gather the names of all those that participate in the photo.
  
• Its important that we encourage others that have events throughout 2009 to use the "Come Home Snohomish" theme with those events as well. Committee members were asked to share this message with any groups they may be involved with.
  
• A suggestion was made to ask businesses throughout the City to do window displays to
  incorporate the Come Home Snohomish 150th Celebration during 2009.
