Klineline Kids Fish-In Event

Annual Event is Reel Fun.

The 11th Annual Klineline Pond Kids’ Fish-In Event is Saturday April 10, 2010.

Klineline Pond is stocked with thousands of trout to give kids the best chance possible of experiencing the “thrill of the catch”.  All fishing gear and bait will be provided, and each child will have the chance to catch, clean and keep up to two fish. While there is no guarantee of a catch, all kids will get a Fishing Kids T-Shirt, and get to keep the rod and reel they fished with!

The Salmon Creek Lions will be there giving out prizes for the best fish caught throughout the day and running the lunch counter. Registration deadline is April 2, 2010 and is by mail only.  Click for the 2010 Klineline Pond Kids’ Fish-In Event Registration, or call Dan Bodell (909-5256) if you are interested in volunteering at this event.

Are you hooked on fishing and wishing your kids were, too? Check out the advice from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to make your first fishing trips a success.

Crystal Plum Bazaar

Christmas Wishes in Salmon Creek

Almost-two-year-old Bridger wasn’t waiting for Santa to make his Christmas wishes at the Crystal Plum Bazaar at Alki Middle School in Salmon Creek.

Some of my favorite items at the Crystal Plum Bazaar were handbags made out of recycled plastic bags by Shellie Sews (shelliepc@hotmail.com), Dirt Soap by Country Memories Soap, Photography by Jodi Tripp, and glass art by A Glass Act.

There are lots of talented local artists and local vendors in Clark County.  For unique gifts for your family, friends, or yourself, check out some of the upcoming Bazaars in our area.

Hope your wishes come true, and Happy Birthday Bridger!

Reading Around the World

Chinook Elementary is Having Their Book Fair.

Don’t miss the fall Book Fair at Chinook Elementary! This year’s theme is Reading Around the World. The
book fair is a fantastic opportunity to stock up on books for your home library, as well as to purchase books as gifts for your child’s classroom teacher.

The book fair will be October 13-16th, with extended hours on Thursday, October 15th, and Friday, October 16th.  If you’re interested in volunteering at the book fair, please contact Natalie Brehm at bookfair@chinookpta.com and let her know.

Chinook Elementary School Supply Drive

Help Kids and Teachers Start the Year Right.

Ahh, the first day of school; fresh faces, new pencils and erasers, crisp, clean notebooks and a nice backpack to carry all those supplies in.  Unfortunately, that is not the situation for many kids returning to school this year.  Budgets have been cut in both homes and schools and many children will lack the basic tools necessary for successful learning without our help.

CrossWay Church in Salmon Creek wants to remedy this situation.  They are having a school supply drive, going on now, with the goal of providing 25-30 backpacks and required school supplies to Chinook Elementary by September 4; enough time for the staff to distribute them to needy families before the first day of school (which is September 9 for the Vancouver School District).

Please contact Pastor Brad for more information or to schedule drop off or pick up of school supply donations.  He can be reached by phone (360) 828-1633 or email brad@crosswaychurchwa.com.

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

- Whitney Houston, “Greatest Love of All”

Eat at Burgerville for Young Life

Help Young Teens Go to Camp.

There’s something for everyone at Burgerville.  At our local Burgerville here in Salmon Creek, that something seems to be cash.

All day on Tuesday, July 28, Clark County Young Life will receive 10% of any order when you show this flyer.  The money raised will be used to help our local kids go to a camp where they can develop the skills, assets and attitudes to reach their full God-given potential.

Talk about putting your money where your mouth is.  Thanks, Burgerville Salmon Creek for being such a great neighbor!
