Toys pile up at Salvation Army

Members of the Salvation Army Advisory Board received great news at their meeting Wednesday morning, when Captain Beth Paugh reported a last minute flood of toy contributions. Numerous people responded to an appeal for toys this week, but most notable was Strandberg Construction. Owner Nels Strandberg worked the phone to raise an estimated $2,500, then gave his staff the afternoon off to shop. They delivered two truckloads of toys to the Salvation Army Wednesday afternoon. An awesome display of the spirit of Christmas! Pictured here are Advisory Board members (l. to r.)Ed Norton, Ginger Houston, Bob Bearchell, Leila Meyer, Maggie Thompson, Darlene Bergeson, Dr. Bud Strom, Pat Mooney and Capt. Mike Paugh.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
