PHS tests the competition In public education, the word “assessment” can prompt several associations: formal—informal—formative—summative—high stakes—accountability—etc., etc. At Pullman High School, assessment can also be synonymous with success. Over the past couple of years, Pullman High students have continued to demonstrate their academic prowess through a number of assessments, both at the state and national level. This year, our students continued to impress at the state level, outperforming a large number of their peers across the state in the areas of Math and English. However, state assessments weren’t the only area where our students shined. Pullman High School students also showed their prowess on several national exams. This past year, PHS had 4 semi-finalists in the National Merit Scholarship program (about 16,000 students are selected nationwide out of approximately 1.6 million students who took the PSAT as Juniors). Furthermore, 2 of these 4 students earned scholarships as finalists (only 7,500 students nationwide earn “finalist” recognition). PHS students also showed their skills and intelligence in the SAT exam. In 2017, Pullman High students averaged a score of 1195; 128 points higher than the state average and the 5th highest overall score among all Washington state high schools. A final highlight of the great year in PHS assessment came from this year’s Advanced Placement (AP) testing. AP testing is scored on a scale of 1-5: 3 is a passing score, where a 5 is a fantastic score. This year, 248 students took around 404 exams. Of those 404 tests, 70% received a passing score with 118 “4’s” and 68 “5’s”. Some highlights included 21 students scoring a “5” out of 36 tests taken in Calculus (31 total received passing scores). In AP Chemistry (a new course added just this year), 21 out of 21 students received passing scores. 14 out of 14 also passed the AP Statistics test. In AP Euro History (another new course added this past year composed of entirely 10th graders), 43 out of 59 students received passing scores. There were several other course Board of Directors highlights, but overall, PHS Jim Evermann students did a fantastic job in Director, District 3 their AP tests for the 2017-2018 jfe@psd267.org school year. These successes are a direct reflection on the hard work that these hundreds of students continually display, and the amazing dedication of our teaching staff and their well planned, focused, and effective instruction. We continue to watch the progression and improvement of all our students and look forward to their continued academic success and growth in their high school journey.

The Pullman High School Booster Club is again holding their annual Membership Drive and All Sports Pass sale. The PHS Booster Commitee is Pullman High School’s version of a PTA, combined with a traditional sports booster club. It is a committee rather than a club, as all the funds raised are channeled through the Pullman Education Foundation. It is, therefore, a committee of the Foundation.
OUR GOAL: Provide funding and support for Academics, Activities, Arts and Athletics. In the 2017-2018 school year, the PHS Booster Committee gave the PHS ASB $15,000 and granted over $21,000 to clubs and sports at PHS. Examples include: • Concert Band - New tuba • Drama Club - Costumes, wireless microphones • Baseball - Pitching machine • Softball - Varsity uniforms • Skills USA - National Photo Competition • Girls Golf - Stand bags • Girls Basketball - Varsity uniforms • Key Club - District Convention entrance fee and transportation • FFA - National Conference entrance fee • Wrestling - New headgear • Boys Track - Pole vault standards • Girls Track - Pole vault pads & extension supports • Choir - Play tickets for Seattle trip

REGISTRATION FOR FALL CLASSES IS NOW OPEN
Graham Ballet, Theater offers fall dance classes Graham Academy of Classical and Contemporary Ballet welcomes all members of the community to its program that provide classes for age 3 and up. Graham Academy of Classical and Contemporary Ballet was founded in 2001 by Artistic Director Noreen Graham began the studio in 2001 and is also principal teacher and choreographer. Performing with the Bolshoi Ballet at age 11, Ms. Graham subsequently danced with Cleveland Ballet and Oakland Ballet. “Excellent training from a young age and up is fun, satisfying and opens up amazing opportunities and experiences for our dancers,” said Ms. Graham. The ballet theater, the performing wing of Graham Academy, is a nonprofit pre-professional company that provides performing experience, artistic education, inspiration, and knowledge of theater etiquette for its students.
Domey Auditorium is a premiere regional theater and performing arts stage. It was home to the Washington/Idaho Symphony and now features a variety of orchestras, symphonies, bands, theatrical performances and dance recitals. With a 900-seating capacity, easy building access, and tailored performing arts rigging, our auditorium is the best place for local community performing arts.
In addition Graham Academy provides opportunities for young choreographers to learn and develop their craft, showing works here in Pullman, nationally and internationally. This year, Hannah Myers, a former Graham Academy student, now, Associate Artistic Director has shown her original works in New York at The Martha Graham Choreographic Studio and The Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. “The goal of Graham Academy is to provide these opportunities and to bring a vital art form to the community,” Ms. Graham said. “We focus on developing and strengthening the artistry, technique, and confidence of our students. We strive to encourage and nurture their finest attributes and to develop their fullest potentials. “We encourage our students, whether a career in dance is planned or not, to give the very best effort of which he or she is capable,” the director said. “In return we are dedicated to giving the care and attention the student deserves, to achieve their goals.” For further information check the academy website at grahamballet.com.

6 Pullman Community Update
SEPTEMBER 2018
Together we can conserve water Plentiful, clean water may be something many consider a given, but it is a constant in the minds of the professionals at the city of Pullman. Each pump in the city’s water system is checked daily, year around. Every day of the year our water operations crew members check the working condition of our water systems, as well as test the chlorination and fluoridation levels of our water to ensure that an adequate, safe supply is ready at all times for our use. Testing the water, and ensuring our systems are working appropriately, are just two of the many components that comprise Pullman’s water focus. Robust water conservation programs are in place throughout our community. We have long known that the water table, fed by the Palouse Basin Aquifer, is declining more rapidly than it is being naturally replenished. While multiple regional agencies are focusing on additional alternative water supply options, we know that conservation is a significant step that will help to prolong the life of our current water supply. Education is provided in our local school district; the city contracts with the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute to provide informative, engaging and age-appropriate water education to our youth. The city of Pullman encourages conservation through engagement with our customers. Free water conservation devices are available to city water customers. These free devices include faucet aerators, shower heads, and water hose timers. Opportunities are available to receive a rebate or credit for upgrading your property to newer, lowflow toilets or by revamping your landscaping, within identified guidelines, to include drought-resistant plantings in a Wisescape® landscape. Ads are placed on local radio stations, highlighting steps that might be taken at any given time of year to help all water consumers conserve. Conserving water is not only the responsibility of our water customers, but of city government as well. Source meters as well as service meters are in place to provide accurate water use information. Programs including large-meter testing and distribution system leak detection are routinely scheduled to ensure we are responsibly using and delivering water throughout our water system. The city is pleased to see that our efforts are proving successful. The proof comes to us through numbers. The amount of water pumped daily for use within the city of Pullman
L to R: Operations Technician-In-Training Lucas Henriod, Water Operations Supervisor Blake Nylund, Operations Technician-In-Training Austin Knight.
during the summer months typically increases by more than 200 percent. As we look at our numbers for July 2018 and recognize that they are significantly below that of not only last year, but also lower than those of our 5-year average, we get excited and feel like we are doing something right! Pullman’s trend of pumping less water in 2018 as compared to the five-year average is going strong with a decrease in the amount of water pumped by almost 4.5 percent in July. Our pumping numbers between January and July of 2017, versus 2018 reflect a decrease of 7.25 percent, pumped for use within the city’s water system. Conservation, associated with responsible water operation and many other factors lead us to this success, and we will take it! We thank our team of operations professionals for their dedicated monitoring of our water, the maintenance crews for their focus on the delivery network getting water to your home, and you, for caring as much as we do. Ensuring that plentiful, clean water is readily available to future generations within the city of Pullman will be an ongoing focus. If you are interested in water efforts in our region, look to join us at the Palouse Basin Water Summit, coming October 2018. Watch for exciting new engagement over the upcoming school year as we see which student organization can excel at water conservation. Reach out to us on social media using #PullmanConserves or by phone at 509-338-3242 and let us know how YOU conserve water! Together we can.
Disasters Happen. Prepare Now. Learn How September is National Preparedness Month (NPM). The event, now in its 15th year, is a nationwide, monthlong effort encouraging households, businesses, and communities to prepare and plan for emergencies. Take time to learn lifesaving skills, such as CPR and first aid. Check your insurance policies and coverage for the hazards you may face, such as flood, earthquakes, and weather events. Make sure to consider the costs associated with disasters and save for an emergency. Also, know how to take practical safety steps like shutting off water and gas. The devastating hurricanes and wildfires of 2017 reminded the nation of the importance of preparing for disasters. Often, our residents we will be the first ones in our communities to take action after a disaster strikes and before first responders arrive, so it is important to prepare in advance to help yourself and your community. Pullman Police Department provides emergency preparedness tools and resources on our website (http:// www.pullman-wa.gov/departments/police). From the menu, select “Information for Citizens,” then “Emergency Preparedness.” Information is also available in the Police Department lobby at 260 SE Kamiaken Street. The department strongly urges you to sign up to receive emergency notifications from the Whitman County and City of Pullman Emergency Alert System. Sign up by clicking on the “Emergency Notification System” menu item on the Police Department website. The Pullman Police Department provides citizens with emergency information, updates, reminders, road closure information and more via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and our mobile app. Follow us on social media: facebook.com/PullmanPD, twitter.com/PullmanPolice, and Instagram @pullmanpolice; download the MyPD mobile app, and look for us on NextDoor.com. The Pullman Police and Fire Departments encourage our community to be better prepared and invite community members to join us in this effort. For more information about the Ready Campaign and National Preparedness Month, visit www.ready.gov.

Fire Extinguishers can Save a Lot Nothing is more personal and destructive than a home fire. Such fires occur every 61 seconds in the United States. Cooking is the leading cause of home fires, followed by heating equipment, electrical distribution, and lighting equipment. No matter what the cause, all fires start out small and as such are easily extinguished by a portable fire extinguisher. A portable fire extinguisher can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or containing it until the fire department arrives. However, portable fire extinguishers have limitations. You must know how to properly discharge one, choose the correct type of extinguisher for your fire, and maintain the fire portable extinguisher. Remember that fires grow and spread rapidly and may become too large for a portable fire extinguisher to contain or extinguish them. Then your priority is get out safely! How do you operate a fire extinguisher? Just remember the word PASS. • Pull the pin. Hold the extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you, and release the locking pin. • Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire. • Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly. • Sweep the nozzle from side-to-side and front-to-back. Always read the instructions that come with the fire extinguisher and become familiar with its parts and operation before a fire breaks out. Call or drop by either Pullman Fire Station and the crews will be glad to show you how to operate a fire extinguisher. For the home, select a multipurpose fire extinguisher, one that can be used on all types of home fires. It needs to be large enough to put out a small fire, but easy for you to handle. Always choose a fire extinguisher that carries the UL or FM testing laboratory mark. Install fire extinguishers close to an exit out of the home. Always call 911 or make sure someone else is calling 911 before you decide to fight a fire. Once the 911 call is made, keep your back to a clear exit while you use the fire extinguisher so you can make an easy escape if the fire cannot be controlled. If the room fills with smoke or you start coughing before you reach the fire, leave immediately. "Know when to go” says Pullman Deputy Fire Marshal Tony Nuttman “Fire extinguishers are only one part of a home fire response plan. The primary element is always a safe escape and to do that you should have a fire escape plan with working smoke alarms.” Maintenance is a fire extinguisher requirement that is commonly overlooked but easy to do once a year. If your fire extinguisher is due for service, contact anyone of several companies in the area.

Benefits of Early Childhood Education Coaches at Community Child Care Center Community Child Care Center (CCCC) has been privileged to have two coaches working with our teaching staff for the last year. Teaching in an Early Childhood Education (ECE) classroom can be a difficult and stressful job. With coaches in place at CCCC, they are able to meet with teaching staff. During these meetings, the coaches help support teachers in areas of the classroom that may seem most difficult for the teacher. The coaches are able to setup specific goals for each teaching staff and help them move towards achieving their goals. CCCC participates in Washington’s quality rating system known as Early Achievers. Early Achievers’ raters come assess classrooms every three years. Our coaches are trained on the same rating systems (CLASS-focuses on teacher interactions and ECERS-measures high quality environments) that Early Achievers uses in the classroom. Our coaches are able to help maintain quality in our programs by completing these same assessments twice a year. The coaches help the teachers focus on improving the areas they scored lower on before the next Early Achievers rating. With the start of a new school year, Coaches are getting started with building relationships with new staff. The coaches follow a practice-based coaching method that begins by building a relationship with the staff they are coaching. Teachers are doing the same thing with students at the beginning of a new school year. They may have new students to build relationships with and returning students that they will continue to build relationships with. Coaches are doing the same thing at the beginning of the school year. Building relationships with newly hired staff and continuing to build on relationships with returning staff. Come join the learning happening at CCCC! We offer free Early Head Start, Head Start, and ECEAP preschool services to qualifying families in addition to our tuition-based child care programs based in Pullman and Colfax. Our Early Head Start program is a home-based program designed for families who are at home with children birth to three years of age. Head Start and ECEAP offer both part day and full day preschool programs in Pullman and Colfax. ECEAP preschool is offered free of charge in Endicott, Rosalia, Tekoa, Garfield, and Palouse.

Support local FFA and 4H members by attending the Palouse Empire Fair! Save the date for this year's Palouse Empire Fair! September 6-9,2018.
The annual market sale will be held on Saturday the 8th. The area 4-H and FFA members have been very committed to bringing the best animals to market this year. Raising a sale animal can be a great learning experience for these young exhibitors. They learn about breed selection, veterinary science, feed rations, marketing and record keeping. We would like to extend an invitation to you to come to the Palouse Empire Fair 4-H and FFA Livestock Sale at the fairgrounds on September 8th to take a look at the market animals being offered for sale. The sale starts at 11:30am. There are many ways to help the 4-H and FFA members to be successful:
• Buy an animal for your own use, making arrangements for butchering or taking home. If you don't need a whole animal, consider going halves with a friend or relative. • Participate by bidding and then 'turning' the animal. If you have any questions on turning, don't hesitate to inquire at the sale office or any of the ring men. • Support any of the 4-H and FFA members by sending your financial support to the Pullman Chamber of Commerce stating clearly who the support is to go to. It can be general support, specific group support, or even a specific member support. If you enjoy watching the exhibitors show their animals for
placing, the Fitting & Showing, Breeding, and Market classes will start on Thursday morning and continue on Friday. This is a good time to view the animals that will be sold on Saturday. Check out a schedule at www.palouseempirefair.org. So, please mark your calendars for the Palouse Empire Fair Sale, September 8th. We hope to see you there to support our local kids. Thank you in advance for any support!

PULLMAN CAMPUS
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Electra McCabe
My name is Electra McCabe and I have a Bachelor’s in Human Development with an emphasis on poverty, social change and advocacy work. A career path significantly influenced from my own experience living in poverty and within that space having experienced violence, homelessness, food insecurity, single parenthood, and a variety of other circumstances individuals in poverty disproportionately face. These experiences encouraged my belief in our individual and collective power to assist people and communities in need. Throughout that time were people and organizations that provided a foundation for me—who supported and encouraged me when I wasn’t quite sure how to support myself. Without a doubt, SFCC Pullman Campus and staff were the most influential. I first started attending SFCC Pullman when I was only sixteen years old and studying to earn my GED certificate. I was young, struggling, and this is when I met my instructor, Dyan Bledsoe. I feel confident I wasn’t the easiest student or even person to be around at that time, but Dyan, day after day, offered unwavering support. I had no intention to attend college. I struggled with self-worth and believed I wouldn’t live past eighteen, and honestly almost didn’t. At nineteen, I became pregnant and that changed my entire life, my entire being. After Aurora was born, I wanted so much for her. I wasn’t sure what that looked like, but I did know getting an education was a good start. I was terrified. The last full year of classroom schooling I had was in middle school, and I wasn’t sure I could succeed, but I knew at SFCC Pullman I had people who would help me succeed. This made it accessible and empowered me to believe in my ability to go to college. During Aurora’s first year, I took online classes and was able to stay home with her. It turns out I was a great student! After the first year online, I transitioned into the classrooms on campus. The class sizes were smaller, and this helped me feel more comfortable and supported, particularly as I started taking more difficult classes. Every class I took at SFCC Pullman, I recall the instructor being open, friendly, and helpful. This applies to the staff as well. When I first started, I had no idea how FAFSA and the financial aid process worked. Completion Coach, Brooklyn Brown, sat down with me time and time again to answer any questions and help me make sure everything was in place. Through my experience at SFCC Pullman, I was able to transfer to WSU. I got most of my general classes completed, it was affordable, I received an excellent education, and as a student became comfortable to transfer to a university. I graduated with honors from WSU, Phi Betta Kappa, and Omicron Nu in May 2016 with a Bachelor’s in Human Development and a Human Services Case Management and Administration Certificate. Now I’m a social worker, specifically a Case Manager at Rural Resources here in Pullman, WA. Rural Resources is a non-profit organization that offers economic and social services for individuals and families in need in Northeastern Washington. I’m a Title XIX Case Manager which is a program offering home and community-based care to elderly and disabled individuals with long term in home care. In short, I assist people in getting the care they need and helping them remain in their home as long as possible. I find it to be incredibly rewarding and enjoy the opportunity to offer support. SFCC Pullman campus changed my life, and the people saved my life. I think what is phenomenal though is no matter what your story is SFCC Pullman will change your life too because you’ll be taking a positive step forward for yourself. Whether you’re hoping to earn your AA, planning to transfer to a university, or not sure what you’re doing yet: SFCC Pullman campus is a great choice because it’s an affordable quality education.

PULLMAN CAMPUS MANAGER’S MESSAGE
Dyan Bledsoe

This September we are excited to have two new key people to welcome our students. Our new assistant dean, Patrick Forster, started in August. Patrick brings a wide breadth of leadership and knowledge to our campus. SFCC Pullman has already benefited from his extensive experience and insight. We also have our new counselor, Veronica Mendez-Liaina starting in September. Veronica’s experience and passion for student success make her a perfect addition to our team.

WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY
SEPTEMBER 2018
Experience Art at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art
Dr. Universe: How is glass made? – Tali, almost 8 years old, Seattle, Wash. Dear Tali, We can make glass in factories and we can find it in nature. Some volcanoes make glass. When they spew out lava, it often cools into obsidian, a black glass. Glass can also form on sandy beaches. Small tubes with smooth glass on the inside may appear after super-hot lightning strikes the sand. In fact, sand is one of the most important ingredients we use to make glass. We may also use things like seashells, salt, and other chemicals. That’s what I found out when I visited my friend John McCloy, an engineer at Washington State University. McCloy and graduate student Jose Marcial were testing out different materials to make glass in the lab. Marcial explained that glass is made of molecules— think of them as building blocks—arranged in a pretty random order. Most of the time we think of glass as a solid. But the way its molecules are arranged actually allows it to act as both a solid and a liquid. When we heat up the mix of sand, seashells, salt, and other chemicals, it can become molten, kind of like lava. In the lab, Marcial poured a mixture of solid materials into a tiny metal cup. He heated it way up until the mix turned to something in-between a solid and liquid, similar to a thick honey. It was so hot that as Marcial poured it out onto a table, the molten material started glowing orange. As the mix cooled down, the molten liquid turned to a solid piece of glass right before our very eyes. Marcial said that in factories, glass is made in a similar way. We take sand, add in different chemicals, heat it up, and pour it out onto a bed of molten metal. As everything cools down, the metal stays molten, but the glass on top solidifies. Sincerely, Dr. Universe

COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER
SEPTEMBER 2018
Pullman Community Update 19
Grant-Funded Projects Move Our Communities to a Positive Future! Community Action Center is grateful to grant funders who help make healthy food and safe homes a reality for EVERYONE in Whitman County. Here is a snapshot of a few of the current grant-funded projects that are moving our people and communities to a positive future.
RiverView Apartments
Community Action Center was awarded $800,000 from the Washington State Housing Trust in 2018 to build RiverView Apartments, 56 affordable housing apartments southeast of Pullman Regional Hospital in Pullman. Construction will start in early 2019, and the residences are slated to be finished in late 2019 to house low-income families with children, veterans, and people with disabilities. RiverView will prioritize families transitioning out of homelessness, improving these families’ housing stability and overall self-sufficiency. Each household eligible to rent a unit will be invited to meet with a case manager to access services the household may need, including ongoing case management. “Our goal at CAC is to help every Whitman County resident improve their ability to be in stable housing, and to increase long-term self-sufficiency,” said Executive Director Jeff Guyett. “Last year we were able to house 206 families — now we can do better, for more families.”
Free Cooking and Food Budgeting Classes
Tekoa School Garden Expansion
Free classes at Community Action Center help families gain maximum nutrition on a budget. This year, local chefs are volunteering with us, teaching participants how to make delicious scratch foods! People who attend our classes: • Learn to plan meals in advance • Cook nutritious and delicious food on a budget • Get a free bag of groceries each week • Discuss nutrition concepts and work with a chef to prepare healthy meals • Take a trip to the grocery store to learn to shop for healthy and affordable food • Meet neighbors in class and share ideas for making small changes toward a healthier life Grants from Washington Department of Health’s Snap-Ed program, Pullman Regional Hospital Women’s Leadership Guild, Umpqua Bank, and ShopKo make these important classes possible.
In June 2018, Whole Kids Foundation announced $2,000 in funding for Tekoa School Garden expansion and upgrades! Community Action Center is partnering with Tekoa School District to improve the health and nutrition of Tekoa children, 52% of whom qualify for free school meals. More garden space in Tekoa will allow Community Action Center staff to hold nutrition and gardening classes for Tekoa’s 200 students and grow local produce for school meals. The expansion will allow Tekoa children to practice seed starting, growing, and vermicomposting. Tekoa kids will be out in the school garden for regular nutrition and gardening classes held by Community Action Center staff. They will learn about how to sustainably grow their own food as they help start seeds, plant, weed, control pests, and harvest. The garden will also grow food for tastings and cooking classes.
Community Kitchen Rentals
We are excited to announce a $9,600 grant from Empire Health Foundation to develop our Community Kitchen Rental Program in 2019. The project’s goal is to generate consistent revenue for Community Food AND build up the Palouse’s foodbased economy.
Community Kitchen rentals to food entrepreneurs who need a commercial kitchen to legally prepare their product. We envision small businesses, community groups, and WSU campus groups using the kitchen for cooking classes, teambuilding exercises, or locavore community meals.
Our Community Kitchen has generated buzz. While it was originally intended for cooking and food budgeting classes, we regularly field calls from food entrepreneurs and community groups asking if they can rent the space as a commercial kitchen or teaching ground. EHF funding allows us to launch
Community Kitchen Rentals will contribute to a healthy local food economy. By addressing a felt need in the small business community – a commercial kitchen – we can help food startups become successful AND fund CAC programs that move people out of poverty and hunger.
Community Needs Survey: We want to hear from you! If you received an invitation to complete a survey for Whitman County needs, you are part of a unique group of random residents selected to give your thoughts and opinions about life in your community and in Whitman County!

If you have already completed your survey, THANK YOU! Over 20 community stakeholder organizations and businesses are working together to hear from you, and your voice helps to paint a picture of the resources, needs, challenges, and opportunities found on the Palouse in Whitman County.
Congratulations to our staff for spotless grant management, fiscal compliance, and on-time grant reporting over the past two years! Community Action Center undergoes regular internal and external audits and reviews to assure the money entrusted to us is used responsibly in alignment with core programs and following funder policies. We are happy to report that for over two years, program monitors have found 100% compliance across all programs. With this fantastic track record, both public and private funders know their money is ensuring access to safe homes and healthy food for people across Whitman County.

He creates a small town, friendly atmosphere and I feel confident and secure with my loan.” - Jennifer F. “Ray was very responsive and helpful, guiding us through the process of selecting the best funding option for our condo purchase and managing all the supporting documents that underwriters requested to get the loan approved. When there were options, Ray explained the nuances in context that helped us decide what worked best for our situation. I would work with Ray again and recommend him to anyone seeking real estate funding options in the Pullman area who appreciates a partner that is knowledgeable, patient, and personable.” - Joe A.

Kai Seshiki, Certified Athletic Trainer serving the Colton school district, rushes to the floor to asses an injury.
In the fall of 2017, Pullman Regional Hospital’s Orthopaedic Center of Excellence began a partnership with Colton, Garfield-Palouse, Potlatch and Pullman school districts to provide Certified Athletic Trainers at each school and serve more than 750 kids. In under a year, the program has provided more than 10,000 treatments for high school athletes at no-cost to parents. This critical service is supported by Pullman Regional Hospital, the Foundation and championed by local physicians, Dr. Tingstad and Dr. Pennington. We’re grateful Avista Foundation has joined our team of All-Star Sponsors!

MEMBERSHIP Free LWV Membership for Students
With the support of the local Pullman League, Anne Lewis and Bobbie Ryder had the opportunity to attend the League of Women Voters National Convention held in Chicago, IL June 28- July 1. More than 1,000 attended the event and speakers included Ruth Greenwood and Nick Stephanopoulos, experts in the field of redistricting, and Rosie Rios, the 43rd Treasurer of the United States. The Campaign for Making Democracy Work passed as the recommended program (focus of national efforts for the next two years). This campaign includes “ensuring a free, fair and accessible electoral system for all eligible voters by focusing on Voting Rights, Improving Elections, and advocacy for the National Popular Vote Compact, Campaign Finance/Money in Politics, and Redistricting.” Additionally, delegates voted by acclimation to prioritize abolishing the electoral college, support adding the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution (did you know it has not been ratified?), support Gun Control lobbying, reaffirm theconstitutional right of privacy as an individual to make reproductive choices, and to support lobbying for carbon pricing.
PULLMAN ART WALK LWV of Pullman had a booth at the 2018 Pullman Art Walk featuring pictures of trail blazing women. League members at the booth served cake to visitors, answered questions about League, and registered voters.

STAR PET
Meet Max! Max came to us after his family couldn't find housing that would accept him. Even though Max is 10 years old, he thinks he's still a puppy! He loves going on walks and playing with his toys. Max's perfect family will be one where someone is almost always home with him since he gets anxious when left alone. He is extremely food motivated and gets very excited when he knows you have food. We recommend a home with older dog-savvy children who won't mind this dog jumping around when they have toys or food. Max is good with other dogs. Stop in to meet this happy senior pup! He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. His senior adoption fee is just $65.
