At the last Coffee with the Mayor on Friday, May 24, it was suggested that the flower beds around City Hall needed cleaning and perhaps planting. So a group of volunteers, including the mayor, Eve Daggett, Marta Cunha and Woody and Judy Woods, got together the next day at 9 a.m. downtown. The mayor brought a lot of flowers. The mayor's two sisters, Dorothy Irish and Helen Ward, visiting from Greshman, Ore., pitched in, too. Susie Hollenbeck donated plants, as did Eve Daggett.
Coffee with the Mayor takes place each Friday at 9 a.m. at Galaxy Chocolates, where Katherine serves espresso and coffee. Everyone is invited, especially those with something special to say.
At the most recent meeting, August Kummerfeldt said she was looking for sponsors for the Super Hero Kids Parade at Shindig in July. August has been the chairwoman of this event for quite a long time.

The city of Sultan got a beautiful new structure next to City Hall in the form of an informational kiosk. A young man named Bryce Power reinvented the town's worn out old kiosk, which had been little-used lately, into a new kiosk, which the Boy Scout did to earn his rank of Eagle Scout.
