At our May 11 meeting, the inspiration was provided by Lyanne Gronning, who gave us her Mother’s dictionary. See Read more .. at the end of this.
David Kas explained the reasons the Fork at Skagit Bay changed to Moltobello. With the Bellingham Fork restaurant being sold, they couldn’t keep the Fork name here. That gave David and Nora the opportunity to change course and open an Italian Restaurant. David lived in Italy, speaks Italian, and learned Italian cooking. Our club will be holding our social there on Thursday, 5/14 at 5:30 pm. We decided to take the family-style option, so we each get to sample more food
Since there were no objections, and she has already been approved by the board, Candy Lee is now a member of the Rotary Club of La Conner.
Our club is submitting a grant to provide CPR training for the La Conner/Swinomish community. We were given a chance to take the class with just club members but decided to wait and be part of the community effort. That allows us to interact with people.
Marty, Martin, and Keith took a tour of the Didgwalic wellness center. The center sees 500 people a day! The three Rotarians were very impressed!
ClubRunner, the club's website tool, was updated to NOVA at 8 pm on Monday, 5/11. You are welcome to participate in online training if you wish to do so.
