Homestreet Bank lends a hand to wetlands conservation
Wed, 08/26/2009
Rich Dryden of HomeStreet Bank's Federal Way branch recently dropped by the Friends of the Hylebos office to deliver a $500 check from the local bank to support the Friends' upcoming Ruby Dance. Friends' Director of Development Laurie Austin and Executive Director Chris Carrel accepted the check on behalf of the organization. The annual benefit dinner raises funds to support conservation and restoration of Hylebos creek and wetland habitat. HomeStreet has a long history of supporting Hylebos conservation, having sponsored the event for several years, as well as raising funds for Hylebos tree planting through the 2008 HomeStreet Bank Tree Challenge. Rich Dryden and branch staff have also participated in past Friends of the Hylebos restoration projects.
