Last week, members of the William Booth Society shared a sunny afternoon at the home of Alison Andrews (Mrs. Edward Andrews Jr.) in The Highlands.

The afternoon was a perfect setting to tour the extensive gardens at her estate, and visit with fellow William Booth Society members. More than 40 guests mingled, and enjoyed food and drink provided by Mrs. Andrews. As the iconic Salvation Army brass band played in the back yard, one guest summed up the event as "a wonderful way to spend an afternoon...sharing stories about The Salvation Army in a picture-perfect garden."

The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 when William Booth decided to take his ministry into the streets of London where it would reach the poor, the homeless, the hungry and the destitute. Today, his mission continues throughout the world. In King County, we are honored by the generous support of select donors who give substantial gifts annually (minimum $5,000) - to support The Salvation Army and continue its goal of meeting human needs without discrimination.
