This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
The 24th annual JOB FAIR will take place in the Centralia College Health and Wellness Bldg (gym) on Thursday, April 28th from 10am-1pm. This event is free and open to the community. Over 55 local and regional employers will be in attendance to assist individuals seeking part time, full time, or seasonal jobs, as well as those interested in changing jobs or exploring a potential new career. Participating employers include state and county agencies, private and non profit businesses, municipalities, apprenticeships and more. Recruiters will be representing a wide variety of fields, such as business, law enforcement, education, healthcare, retail and more!
Our Job Fair employer representatives are continually reinforcing that it’s extremely important to dress professionally when you attend a Job Fair. Shower and make sure that your grooming is impeccable. Plan in advance what you are going to wear and be sure everything is neat, clean and pressed. Professional, yet conservative attire is best. Remove all visible piercings that are unusual and cover tattoos. Make arrangements for childcare. It’s most effective to greet each employer with a firm handshake, good eye contact and a smile. Be prepared to ask a couple of basic questions about the place of employment. Space will be provided for job seekers to complete applications, if necessary. This is an excellent time to seek current job openings or gather information about a potential career, including skills, types of training and academic requirements.

Join in this very memorable ceremony to honor our veterans. Let us never forget the sacrifice that others have made on our behalf.
Guest speaker will be Vietnam Veteran Pat Swanson. Following the ceremony, the Vetarns Memorial Museum will be open with reduced admission. Please join us for coffee and treats, and walk the gallery to remember our veterans.
In addition to the Memorial Day service, the Museum will host the annual service for the Veterans Tree of Life at 2:00 pm. This is a time to gather and remember our service men and women who have gone onto their eternal reward. Everyone is invited to come and light a candle in the memory of a loved one who served our nation.
The Veterans Tree of Life is on permanent display in front of the large American flag in the gallery. You are encouraged to get your dog tag applications in as soon as possible. Enrollment to the Veterans Tree of Life is accepted throughout the year. Applications can be picked up at the Museum. Dog tags are constructed of metal and stamped in the same way that original military versions were done. Cost for each dog tag is a donation of $50 or more. Additional extra dog tags for the same individual can be purchased for $25.
