Jenna Decker, representing the local Guide Dogs for the Blind raising group in Enumclaw, used the council's public‑comment period to thank the city and invite residents to a 40th‑anniversary celebration on Aug. 22 at Trinity Lutheran Church from 1 to 4 p.m.

"Our guide dog group has been here for 40 years," Decker said, and she told the council that Enumclaw volunteers have raised about 308 dogs, of which roughly 131 became guide dogs for the blind. She described a community tradition of volunteer raisers, school and business support and a visiting "puppy truck" bringing eight‑week‑old puppies to the celebration. Decker asked interested community members to come and learn more about the program.
