Senior center
seeks fundraisers
The Mill Creek Senior Center Foundation is looking for volunteers with experience in fundraising. The foundation was established to support construction of a senior center. Residents of the Mill Creek Community Association voted in June to allow the foundation to build a facility near the country club.
The foundation now is seeking assistance with fundraising efforts. For more information or to volunteer, call John Hudgins at 425-742-9125.
Firefighters
reward safe riders
Firefighters in three Snohomish County fire districts will be rewarding safe bicycle riders who are properly wearing helmets.
Snohomish County Fire Districts 1, 3 and 7 are partnering with Safe Kids and Subway in this program to encourage safe riding and helmet use. Firefighters will issue a Safe Rider Citation to each child they spot riding safely and wearing a helmet. The citation card can be redeemed for one free cookie at participating Subway stores.
Firefighters will always be in marked fire department vehicles and uniforms when handing out the Safe Rider Citations.
Low-cost bicycle helmets are available through Fire District 1, 3 and 7. The helmet program is part of the districts’ injury prevention effort. Firefighters are trained to custom-fit helmets. Properly fitted helmets are highly effective in preventing head injuries. Firefighters offer these safety tips:
• Children and adults need to wear a helmet every time they ride a bike, skate, scooter or skateboard.
• Choose a safe area to ride or skate.
• Obey all traffic signs and signals while riding.
