Serenity House of Clallam County plans May 21 benefit in Sequim with TV actress, lawmaker

SEQUIM — Tickets are on sale for a Serenity House of Clallam County fundraiser May 21.

Lynda Day George, a television actress throughout the 1970s, and state Sen. Mark Miloscia of Federal Way will be the featured speakers at The Art of Ending Homelessness dinner and auction of fine art in The Legends Room of The Cedars at Dungeness golf course, 1965 Woodcock Road in Sequim.

A no-host social hour will begin at 5 p.m. The program will start at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $50 per plate or $95 for two plates.

Table sponsorships are $400.

Marinated flank steak dinner will be served with gourmet sides, desserts and soft drinks.

Seating is limited.

George is a supporter of a soon-to-open youth drop-in center at Serenity House’s Sequim Housing Resource Center.

“Something has to happen, particularly for young people who are homeless,” said George, who owns rental properties in Port Angeles and divides her time between Sequim and California.

‘Housing hero’

Organizers said Miloscia is recognized statewide as a “housing hero” for his role — especially when he was chair of the state House of Representatives’ housing committee in 2005 — in increasing state spending for the homeless and requiring the state and each county to create a plan to address the root causes of homelessness.

The event celebrates accomplishments under the 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness in Clallam County, written as a result of Miloscia’s legislation, and raises funds to support Serenity House’s ongoing efforts to end homelessness.

Tickets are available at Serenity House thrift stores at 551 W. Washington St. in Sequim and 502 E. First St. in Port Angeles; the administration office at 2203 W. 18th St. in Port Angeles; or via PayPal at www.serenityhouseclallam.org/donate.html.

To donate art for the auction, call 360-452-7224.
