Encompass in North Bend will commemorate 50 years of providing pediatric therapy and early learning to the Snoqualmie Valley and greater Eastside with a gala dinner and auction, 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency.

Nancy Whitaker, former executive director and Encompass parent, will share her story of her 30-plus-year involvement with Encompass and how the program has touched her life and the lives of so many others.
