Greetings from Carolyn Holbrook, LWML Washington-Alaska District President!
Where has the time gone? Just yesterday it was Christmas and now we are rapidly approaching spring! Just around the corner will be our 2026 District Convention in Spokane, Washington. We will begin our convention with the worship service at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, a short distance from the Ruby River Hotel where all the remaining activities will be held. Our Proclaimer will be Rev. Dr. Mike Von Behren, whose message in Everett left us thinking of "under-armour" in a whole new light!
The current issue of the Evergreen Echoes newsletter is here!
