We Topped the Rock!

This past Saturday, June 20th, seven of us from the Office of the Secretary of State (the Washington State Library's parent office) participated in the 5K Walk/Run, “I Topped the Rock” – a benefit for the Castle Rock Public Library. The event raised awareness of the need for funding for the Library. The vote to fund the library was just four votes shy this spring. There will be another vote in August (I believe that is the correct month). The event also raised funds for the library, which is just scraping by until the next vote – and then, of course, they will have to wait until the tax funds become available.

It was a lot of fun – especially that grueling climb to the top of Castle Rock. Kelly Warren from WTBBL took the Women’s Runner Division. Go Kelly! Other participants were Brian Zylstra, Laura Sherbo, Jill Merritt, Jeannie Remillard, Jeff Martin, and me. Hope we didn’t miss anyone. Thanks to Sam Reed for lending his name to this important event.
