Youth Group Holds a Dinner in the Dark
These pictures are from a simulated Dinner in the Dark for the
Richland LDS Church Youth Group on June 4, 2008. The group watched a
presentation of our services and then proceeded to eat their meal blindfolded.
The purpose of this endeavor was to show our area youth an hour of
how it would be to have a disability from loss of sight.
As a thank you to Edith Bishel Center the group will be hosting a Bake Sale at the West Richland
Yokes on June 6th with all proceeds going to the Edith Bishel Center.

Thank you, Bethel Church volunteers!
On behalf of the Edith Bishel Center staff, Board Members and clients we
extend our gratitude to the hard working efforts of volunteers participating
in the Bethel Church ShareFest 2008 project. These volunteers came into our
center and built two new offices. These photos show some of the dedicated and
inspired volunteers. We will always be grateful for your donation and
support and we thank you for all of your generosity of heart to our agency.
A special thank you to Dan and Cynthia Porter for overseeing the
coordination of the project, and to our very own Sue Weiss who faithfully
continues to provide painting and décor services to us. Also we offer our
thanks to the Kennewick Lumbermens store for their donation of materials
used in this project. Last but not least, thank you to the Bethel Church cookie bakers for
preparing cookie dough for us.
With the volunteers mentioned above and all the many other community
agencies and other volunteers that support us each and every day you are
enabling us to continue to strive and support the clients that really need
us. Thank you!
