In October 2009, the Peninsula Daily News ran a story about the renaming of our service project to Gateway Park.

Since 2004, Soroptimists have maintained
the Port Townsend park at the corner of Kearney and Sims Way, formerly known as Willow Tree Park.
The city-owned triangle
of land was a jungle, when we first proposed the service project to the
city fathers (and mothers).

Dear little Soroptimist Sarah. Little did we know what a ruckus she'd cause. . . |
