Just Bee-Cause
Feel like doing some spring cleaning? Have any valuable stuff you are willing to part with to support the Methow Valley Community Center? Bring it to the center from 1 – 4 p.m. on Friday (May 2) and then come back later for the Bee-Cause Repurpose Exposition, a free event that also features chili, and maybe go home with something else of value. The exposition will be from 5 – 8 p.m. on Friday and from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, call 997-2926.
