Everett: Board waives fees for celebration
The Everett Public Facilities Board, which oversees Comcast Arena, voted 5-0 Thursday to waive $1,500 in fees charged to the Henry M. Jackson Centennial Committee.
The planning group scheduled a public program at the arena May 31 to honor Jackson on what would have been the late senator's 100th birthday.
The board wanted to waive the fees because the event is an important community activity, said board member Gigi Burke.
Flowery benefit for children's group
An orchid sale, featuring 30 varieties of orchids, is scheduled for 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 7 and 8 at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
The event will be in the St. Helens Room in the Medical Office Building, 1330 Rockefeller Ave. The sale benefits Providence General Children's Association.
