Silent Auction starts at 6:45 pm
"The Alaska Suite: a story of beauty, loss and hope” was composed by Seattle's Nelda Swiggett, will be performed by The Nelda Swiggett Jazz quintet, and is being hosted by the William O. Douglas Trail Foundation, Yakima Citizens’ Climate Lobby, Yakima Bikes and Walks!, and 350 Yakima Climate Action.
