Held on June 12th at 11:30 at Merrill Gardens Community Room, Burien, WA.

The event opened with a quote from Pope Francis: –”Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself, and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how difficult it is …. life is good when you are happy, but much better when others are happy because of you.”
