In our final newsletter of 2016, I want to simply take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays -- however and wherever you plan to celebrate!
It has been an amazing year here in downtown Selah. We have seen much change over the past several months and are looking forward to all the good things that 2017 will bring.
Thank you to everyone who was involved with SDA in any way this year, and to all that attended are events. We truly appreciate your support!
Happy Holidays,
Whitney Stohr
Executive Director
