Successful Renton River Days debut

Published Tue 05 Aug 2025

WAMmers staffed our community booth during Renton River Days, a weekend long neighborhood fair / festival. Huge thanks to Chris, Deb, Judy, Daniel, Dave, Liz and Luisa for their help with their help onsite, including setup and teardown!

This was our first community outreach event, and we learned a lot, including how to visually engage passersby and initiate conversations (really hard for us introverts). We distributed business cards and flyers about Intro sessions and regular training. Our family activity, a ring toss over a dragon boat head, was a huge hit with over 200 kids participating.

Recruitment results include four people attending Intro sessions, one signed up for the September Intro, and two registered as guests. We also received an informal invitation to speak at a Rotary Club meeting, which potentially further increases team visibility. A full board report will follow and will be available to interested members after this month's board meeting. Reach out to Lesley if interested.
