Chehalis Parks and Recreation Director Lilly Wall is the featured speaker at the July forum hosted by the Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce.

The forum is scheduled for Thursday, July 10, from 8 to 9 a.m. at the V.R. Lee Community Center, located at 221 SW 13th St. in Chehalis.

Wall will be joined by Recreation Coordinator Sarah Prok to discuss upcoming plans and initiatives.
