A school retiree group from Island and Snohomish counties is hosting a free “Brown Bag Meet the Candidates Luncheon” at 11 a.m. on Oct. 18 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 215 Mukilteo Boulevard in Everett.

Speakers will include 19 of the 26 possible general election legislative candidates within the 10th, 21st, 38th, 39th and 44th legislative districts. People attending will bring their own sack lunches, but coffee, tea and cookies will be available.

Following a brief introduction, candidates will meet with constituents from their legislative districts for face-to-face conversation.

This event is sponsored by local Sno-Isle Unit 22 of the Washington State School Retirees’ Association.
