Elected officials and community leaders throughout South King County gathered at Emerald Downs on Oct. 22 for Multi-Service Center’s (MSC) second annual MSC Helps Luncheon.
Kent City Councilmember Jim Berrios, Federal Way Councilmember Bob Celski and former Auburn mayor Pete Lewis co-chaired the luncheon.
Meeghan Black, formerly of “Evening Magazine,” emceed the event. The 219 guests included local elected officials and community leaders. Mary Forbes, retired colonel and assistant director of Veterans Services at the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs, spoke.
While the event supports all of Multi-Service Center’s programs throughout South King County, the focus of this year’s luncheon was how the community can support veterans. So far, more than $53,000 has been raised through this event to provide help, hope and change for community members in need.
