Z'K: Yes, we are! You won't have to climb stairs to get to your spacious apartment, and you'll pay less than you do at the nursing home! For less than the cost of a semi- private room, you can get a 900-square-foot, independent apartment at Alpine Way with 3 chef-prepared meals a day, parking nearby, a kitchenette with a refrigerator, and, of course, 24-hour licensed nursing services available when needed. If single-level living in a beautiful setting appeals to you, come and tour Alpine Way. We'd love to treat you to lunch, show you our lovely apartments, and answer all of your questions.

The purpose of the activity was to prepare the house and surroundings for a massive service projec Saturday, Sept. 17 which will include painting the historic struc- ture, cleaning the interior, landscaping and decorative brickwork. The project is a joint activity by three con- gregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Lions Club; it is open to public participa- tion. The president of the McReavy House Museum Foundation, Mike Fredson, visited the site last Satur- day and observed the vol- unteers scraping old paint, clearing away debris and preparing the exterior for painting. "They got so much done, so fast. I'm totally ex- cited at the opportunity for the house to be painted and landscaped when the large group comes on the 17." Scores of volunteers are expected to descend on the McReavy property where -th6y will be divided into project teams to participate in specific assignments. Fredson previously met with project managers to study historical documents and choose paint colors that are accurate to the original house colors. Courtesy Dnoro The McReavy House stands as it once did. This event is designed for participants ages 8 and up, making it a worthwhile ser- vice project for scout troops, youth groups and civic clubs as well as families and neighbors. The project will begin at 9 a.m. Volunteers of all,ages and abilities will be grouped into specific proj- ect teams. The Lions Club will prepare lunch for the volunteers later in the day. Community members are urged to come and join in the renovation project. Some tools will be available on-site, however, volunteers are welcome to bring their own work gloves or small gardening tools or paint brushes. All youth under the age of 18 will need to have a parent or guardian present to sign a liability waiver. There will be trained first aide and safety staff avail- able throughout the event. Additional information aboutthe service event can be found by contacting Rick Wiley at 426-3904. The McReavy House Museum of Hood Canal is a nonprofit museum soci- ety dedicated to renovating and preserving the house, supporting a museum set- ting and providing a venue for arts and cultural pro- gramming. Built in 1890 by pioneer landowner and territorial legislator John McReavy, the house is likely the oldest existing on Hood Canal. This project is part of a worldwide Day of Service in which The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will link arms with other faiths, civic organizations and government agencies to strengthen local communi- ties with meaningful service projects that will help those in need, beautify communi- ties, and build friendships. The Day of Service is an annual event with this 2011 event also helping to com- memorate the 75th anni- versary of the Church wel- fare program. In the North America Northwest Area, a geographical designation of the Church, many service projects will be held in Sep- tember. More than 200 LDS congregations in Western Washington are involved. The Northwest Church area also includes congregations in Alaska, British Colum- bia, Northern Idaho and Or- egon.
