The Lynnwood-Alderwood Manor Heritage Association will be hosting their annual clean-up of Heritage Park and its buildings on Tuesday, April 7th. Volunteers will be weeding, re-barking the path, and doing some interior cleaning in some of the buildings. This year, the parks department also plans to lay gravel on part of the new path from Heritage Park to the new Salish Middle School. All ages and abilities are welcome to attend (youngsters must be accompanied and monitored by an adult). A potluck lunch will be provided.

This Living Voices presentation features the little known stories and contributions of working women in the World War II aeronautics industry, amplifying the experiences of Black women through the Rosie the Riveters who build planes in Boeing’s factories, the Women Airforce Serve Pilots (WASPs), the Tuskegee Airmen, and the Double Victory campaign. Using a unique blend of live theatre and archival film, Living Voice brings life to history.
