To celebrate its 30-year anniversary and to share its goals for engaging more kids and families throughout Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville and Duvall, the Northshore YMCA will host two events this weekend.

First up will be an Anniversary Gala Event & Live Auction from 6:30-10 p.m. Oct. 2 at Cascadia Community College, Mobius Hall (18345 Campus Way N.E., Bothell).

Next, there will be an Anniversary Reunion: Family & Friends Day from 2-5 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Northshore YMCA (11811 N.E. 195th St., Bothell).

The exclusive “black tie and tennis shoes” gala celebration and live auction, emceed by Grant Goodeve, will benefit the new Peter Morris Camp and Scholarship Fund at the Northshore YMCA.
