Human trafficking, bullying among topics

PORT ORCHARD — South Kitsap Helpline and the the YWCA ALIVE Shelter for abused women are the beneficiaries of an upcoming event of the Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

On Saturday, March 17, that organization's Olympic Cluster will holds its Spring Celebration at Elim Lutheran Church in Port Orchard that will feature Sharla Musabih on the abuse of Muslim women in Dubai and Mary Abo on being interned with Americans of Japanese descent during World War II.

Also featured will be Sarah Benjamin speaking on human trafficking, and Dave Colombini of the South Kitsap School District on bullying. Presenters will lead workshops, as well.

All are invited. The $12 cost includes lunch. Reservations can be made by calling the church at 360-871-0602 by Monday.

A worship service will be led by the Rev. Beth Orling, and proceeds from a free-will offering taken then are to benefit the food bank and shelter. Elim is at 5911 East Hillcrest Drive.
