UPDATE: COMMUNITY MEETING NEXT SUNDAY, THE 13TH, AT THE TENINO EAGLES AT 4 pm!

We can Celebrate the win on the appeal of the Rochester site, meet community from Bucoda & Tenino, share the appeal information and answer questions. I am hoping that we can get everyone active sending in public comments and ready for our Appeal Hearings coming up September 16th & 18th! That will be a Zoom hearing, but we still need community members to be present.

We are also still collecting Petition signatures and working on getting stronger regulations for BESS sites in Thurston County! Petition link below. Only sign if you haven't already. It is important that after all the time and money spent on this, that people stay motivated and support this cause! Let's make sure that money was put to good use and wins this appeal! Thank you morton and Hooper for working on the appeal.

PM me with questions. Share the post, which will be shared on my
Studio198 page or save the flyers to your phone or computer and share a post yourself. The more people comment on posts and share posts, the more FB shows people. The Algorithims have become very challenging.

Thank you #564 Fraternal Order of Eagles for allowing us to hold our meeting there and on short notice!
*donations are still being collected for the costs of advertising materials that I paid out of pocket & and the website creator Kendall Nicholson.

UPDATE: NEXT WEDNESDAY IS THE SEAHAWKS GAME, SO THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WAITING FOR A NEW DATE, SO I'M REMOVING THAT FLYER.

Sorry for delays getting this meeting setup, as I have been dealing with mine and my Mom's health (and a few other unexpected things to keep me on my toes) and my family reunion last month. But I found a place that we can celebrate, meet community from Bucoda & Tenino, share the appeal information and answer questions. I am hoping that we can get everyone active sending in public comments and ready for our Appeal Hearings coming up September 16th & 18th! This will be a Zoom hearing, but we still need community members to be present.

Looking for Fall Family or Senior portraits? It's time to get on the schedule before I'm all booked! Check out my website! Several packages to choose from! Link to packages below.

Your Senior is not all about being in the limelight and just wants to make this a simple session! I'm ok with that. As a Mother of 4 (now adults), not all wanted to do the picture thing, lol! 5 edited images, 20 mins, within 20 miles. Keep it simple!

THIS IS REGARDING THE BUCODA/CENTRALIA BESS SITE SO IT CAN BE SHARED

Quick update as I am not feeling well the last few days, but I wanted to make sure I got this out there ASAP! I have also shared it with the Chronicle and hope they will have this posted soon for all their readers!
Here is the information for the Public Hearing regarding the Bucoda/Centralia proposed site, coming up September 16th (and 18th if there are enough comments to fill the day on the 16th). We all need to make comments, preferably on the Zoom, not just written comments. We need to overwelm the Hearing examiner with all of our concerns and point out all the facts that are wrong with the SEPA determination and MDNS, that is what this appeal has been filed about.
Here is a few tips, that I hope helps:
#1) Read the appeal that is on the Thurston County Court website that we filed so you have an idea of what it is about.
#2) Ask questions here if you need further clarification so we can try to help you and answer them.
#3) And then write up your comment. Send one in by email and plan to attend the ZOOM hearing to point out your comment and summarize the parts about it that are most important to be heard. Speaking can be nerve wracking and it is easier for some to present it and not forget your points if you have written it up to read from.
#4) You don't have to be the best speaker, you don't even have to say a lot, but what we do need is for people to speak up and show a presence. Show them that we are not going to keep quiet about this! That is one of the biggest impacts!
#5) Remember, we raised almost $4,100 for this appeal! Let's make it matter! Let's Win this! Be the Change, not just Complain! Together we can do this, look at what we have done so far!
I am posting the Public Hearing info and an updated flyer. We are updating the website and Petition to include the Appeal info for the Bucoda/Centralia site information. Below are useful links to all the info.
I will be planning a community meeting in Bucoda, hopefully before the public comments deadline and hearing to bring more awareness and get more supporters from Bucoda and Tenino. We are still collecting signatures regarding stricter regulations. Share this with everyone and everywhere!
