Human trafficking is focus of lunch talk: Jenn Rosenberg will discuss her personal experience with human trafficking, while working at an orphanage in 2006 on the Thailand-Burma border, during an April 23 presentation hosted by Soroptimist International of Everett. The luncheon event costs $12 and starts at noon at the Everett Golf and Country Club, 1500 52nd St. SE. RSVP to Rebecca Brayton at 425-259-8367. “These experiences and stories have personally changed my life and I will do whatever it takes to bring awareness and support to combat human trafficking,” Rosenberg said.

There will be free native plants, demonstrations, kids activities and more. Learn about worm bins, soil health and protecting the Camano landscape.
