Sometimes it takes a village to make big things happen. And so it is with the Wenatchee River Festival Steering Committee – our July Volunteer of the Month.  This group of key volunteers organized and implemented the very successful 2nd Annual Wenatchee River Festival in Cashmere, WA.  For those who were lucky enough to catch the June 10 & 11 event, with flows of 10,000 cfs, you know how much fun was had.  For those that missed the event, there is always next year….

Members of the Wenatchee Festival Steering Committee are:
Jennie Goldberg (Driving force)
Dave Wester (Live and Silent Auction)
Sue Wester (Financial Officer and Auction assistant)
Patrick Walker (Beer, camping, city of Cashmere liaison)

And of course, Tom O’Keefe who did the postcard, communication assistant, AW membership, etc. etc.
