ARLINGTON — Youth Dynamics will host its annual spring fundraiser at the Arlington Free Methodist Church on Friday, May 8.

This year’s “Down Home Derby” will feature local country artist Jesse Taylor, home-cooked barbecue meals, and both silent and live auctions.

Find out how Youth Dynamics has changed people’s lives, in Arlington and throughout the Stillaguamish Valley.

Learn how you can partner with YD in reaching out to care for the community’s youth, by sending students on trips, helping them build meaningful relationships, and partnering with schools, local churches and other service organizations.

Tickets are $20, or $150 for a table of eight. The dinner includes free child care, but you must email jronhaar@yd.org if you have children who will be attending.

Buy tickets at Flowers By George, at 335 N. Olympic Ave. in Arlington, or your local church.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. The event wraps up at 9 p.m.

The Arlington Free Methodist Church is at 730 E. Highland Dr.
