Volunteers are needed to help with the regular maintenance. Although we will be maintaining (weeding) the garden, the emphasize will be on meeting new people and learning from our native plant stewards

more about invasive and native plants that thrive in Sammamish. All ages are welcome. If you are interested in volunteering please contactDawn Sanders, dsanders@ci.sammamish.wa.us; 425.295.0556.

Thank You Volunteers!06 The Official 2012 Fourth on the Plateau Guide

� e City of Sammamish would like to recognize Caitlin Stephensfor her volunteer work with the city. Caitlin has been volunteering since the end of her Freshman year at Skyline High School, coming in once a week helping with o� ce work in the Parks Department. Caitlin graduated this June and will be moving on to the University of Washington. “It has been wonderful to watch Caitlin grow over the years. She has been coming in so much that she knows just about everything in the Parks department, especially all things volunteer,” said Dawn Sanders, Volunteer Coordinator for the City of Sammamish. “Caitlin has personally input over half of the 30,000 plus volunteer hours from city volunteer events and o� ce workers. She assists with special events and the administration of the Sammamish Youth Board. Her help has been invaluable to the city. We would like to congratulate her on her graduation and wish her well at the University of Washington this fall.”
