Shop with A Cop - a thank you!
We were able, again this year, to conclude another successful Shop with a Cop series of events. Thanks to you who bought raffle tickets, made donations, shopped for gifts, wrapped gifts, provided lunch, and family bags of extra treats, this is where our village really shines! Thank you all for your commitment to families in our neighborhood that need a helping hand.

We thank Meghan Rasmussen, WA County Sheriff's Office, for her spot on, detailed organization of this event. She has been a great partner and easy to work with. Also kudos to Bev Snow Kuehn, B-Line Enterprises, for coordination on the RHBA end.

RHBA members really rallied to create an awesome event for 15 students and their families. Thank you one and all.

Step up and help RHBA be more.

1. Can you help plan a one time family friendly event? We can provide lots of support, but if you can help make this happen, it would be terrific.
2.  Do you have an item(s) we can raffle at our 2025 lunches? Money raised on the raffles support special RHBA projects. From one raffle item to 10, we'll take it. Receive something from the holidays that too good to not pass on...
3. Ready to help plan an awesome Shred Event on Saturday, April 26th from 9 - Noon? We have a coordinator, but help is always needed. Do you want to keep the volunteer list, then send reminders? Assist with advertising the event? Help make Carrie Welch, Oregon First, Shred Coordinator's job a little easier.
4. Would you like to organize a RHBA meet-up? Coffee, cocktails, or ??? No-host of course, just pick a day, location, and we'll help with the advertisement. Maybe even an Open House at your place of business.
5. Ready to take a leadership role with RHBA? See Mark FitzMaurice, RHBA Chair, for board opportunities. We meet one hour a month by Zoom.
