Dear Editor,

Calm Waters is a nonprofit organization made up mostly of employees from Clallam Bay Corrections Center and is based in Sekiu. Our mission is to provide fishing events for Alumni from The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), residents from Sarge’s Place and for local low-income veterans. For these fishing trips, we provide lodging, food, licenses, boats and gear, gifts and prizes. Only through donations are we able to provide these things for our visiting veterans.

On Saturday, Aug. 1, at 2 p.m. we are putting on a silent and live auction at the Sekiu Community Center at 42 Rice St., Sekiu. A portion of the money raised by the auction will be used to help cover some of our expenses for our events with the rest being donated to the WWP and Sarge’s Place.

On the second weekend of August (Aug. 7-9) we will be hosting up to 25 alumni from the WWP for a two-day private fishing tournament in Sekiu.

On a Saturday in September, we will be hosting veterans from Sarge’s Place for a day of fishing and barbecue. Sarge’s Place located in Forks, is a transitional and permanent supportive housing project to support veterans of Clallam and Jefferson counties.

This is our fourth year and we would not be able to continue to do this if it weren’t for the overwhelming support that we have received from the community. We have received many generous donations of time, goods and services from the area’s residents and businesses.

For more information, visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/calmwatersorg or e-mail us at calmwatersorg@gmail.com.

Thank you for your time and support!
