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.

McReavy
House

Fresh air, sunshine, pres-
sure washing and paint were
all part of the ambiance to a
group of volunteers on Sept.
3. who spent hours working
at the McReavy House Mu-
scum of Hood Canal. 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study historical documents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.

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.
