Skagit Valley #1043. Its detachment has met since 1963 — Sedro Woolley, WA. The charter came in the years after the Second World War and Korea, and the members who stayed treated the monthly meeting as a standing promise: show up, look after one another, and leave the town a little better.
People point to the detachment for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Sedro Woolley. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The regular meeting is 3rd Tuesday, 7:00 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the members stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — Sedro Woolley, WA.
