A milestone. Island County has given up roadside herbicide spraying. Thank you, commissioners. Thank you for listening. Thank you for responding. Thank you to each and every person on Whidbey, Camano, and across the country who wrote a letter, signed a petition, emailed, called or showed up in person to make their wishes known. You/we all made it happen.

This was one small miracle. Thank you and congratulations to everyone. Please join us to celebrate on Sunday, April 14m for potluck dinner from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at Freeland Hall (note the location change). Enjoy the music of Beverly Graham, her band and others. Everyone welcome. Call 579-6133 for more info.

Laurie Keith, president,

Whidbey Island No Spray Coalition
