A rummage sale to benefit the Julie Davidson Memorial Scholarship Fund will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 21 at the Sammamish Valley Grange, 14654 148th Ave. N.E., Woodinville.

Davidson was a longtime Woodinville resident who died in 2006 after a 15-year battle with autoimmune disease. Despite her health issues, she raised money for women’s health issues and worked behind the scenes promoting local farmers markets. She helped found the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Programs that provide vouchers to low-income mothers and seniors to buy fresh produce.

Davidson served on the Cascadia Community College Board of Trustees, the Washington State Boundary Review Board for King County, was a trustee of Overlake Hospital Foundation, a board member of the Kirkland and Woodinville chambers of commerce, a trustee of Evergreen Hospice and Healthcare Foundation, a commissioner for Evergreen Hospital, on the steering committee to create the city of Woodinville and a founding member of the Northshore Human Services Network.

A scholarship for health-care students has been set up in her name at Cascadia Community College. To fully fund the scholarship for perpetuity, her friends are trying to raise an additional $13,000.

Items for sale will include clothing, household items, books and toys. Monetary contributions will also be accepted.
