This car wash fundraising event benefits the Shadle Park High School band and orchestra program. Car washes are by donation, food & beverages will be available for purchase, and a dunk tank will be on site giving our kids the opportunity to "dunk the director" (Matt Wenman) or "Dunk Dunn", the high school's principal "Chris Dunn" (courtesy of Clark's Tire & Automotive). Each car that gets a wash will be entered to win one of four gift certificates for a free oil change from Clark's Tire & Automotive. A good time to be had by all!

Join us for this powerful communal grief retreat.Saturday 9am – 9pmSunday 9am – 5pm
Many of us feel alone and isolated in our grief. Western cultures tend to have a “don’t ask for help” and a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality. It is forced down and shamed until it turns into a personal pathology rather than collectively held and honored. We are not meant to grieve alone!
When grief is not processed, it often gets passed down through the generations and can come out in harmful ways. But we can choose differently. We can reclaim our natural ability to heal alongside one another.
Grief is not something to get over but to be embraced and cherished for the love that it is. It is ok to hurt, we just need each other to collectively hold that hurt and support one another to carry what we cannot carry alone. Sometimes we can get stagnate and drown in our grief because we aren’t given a way and a community to allow it to move through us.
This medicine helps us regain our interconnectivity. This being human is no easy task and part of our challenge in life is learning to be more human. To celebrate the full range of our human experience and that means our deep sorrow. But touching on that agony is often scary and why we need companions to journey with us through the tunnel of grief until we come out the other side.

Pet Savers Spokane is taking a ballsy approach to help cat owners control feline populations by offering free neutering for 150 cool male cats during their sixth annual “Testicle Festival” on October 6, 2024. The approach is so popular, neutering appointments are getting low.
Why free? Because there’s a cat overpopulation problem in our area. More than 3.2 million cats enter shelters across the U.S. each year, and only 2.1 million are adopted or returned to their home. Inland Northwest/Spokane is no exception.
