Lewis County ABATE
Coordinator's Report
2020 has been a year of unprecedented events. We have faced challenges both in life and as a chapter. Losing the opportunity to focus on our events both locally and as a state has created a lot of challenges. However, as a society, we strive to persevere and find good things to be thankful for. We know that 2021 is going to have some of the same challenges as we are not in the clear yet. From wearing masks, limiting gatherings, and just not knowing what the future holds, I can assure you one thing! We are a strong chapter, we are a committed chapter and we need to make sure we maintain that.
I hope you all had a great time over the holidays and were able to enjoy time with friends and family. We will be holding our first meeting in January on the 13th. The location is to be determined as we will have to see what options we have. I will also make sure that a zoom meeting link is available for those that cannot attend. The challenges we faced in 2020 will not hold us back from moving forward in 2021. I will update more information as the time approaches.
For now, stay safe, stay healthy! I look forward to seeing you in the next couple of weeks!

We put up two of these signs. One is on SR 507 as you come into Centralia from the north. The photos on the left is the sign being put up along SR 6 next to the Adna Grocery Store. These signs were provided to us from ABATE of Washington. We have a couple more to be put up. Information about putting more signs up will be posted on our Facebook page.
Distracted driving is not only illegal.
It can kill!
Please be alert and aware of your surroundings.
