Dash! volunteers Cynthia Aanestad and Terry Kratzer were among a number of service club members who participated in a food drive this week for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Generous donors including Michael Cook and Jane and Alan Fantel made generous donations after shopping at The Market at Anacortes. Dash! is a 25-member community service group established “to create opportunity and prosperity through an awareness of the abundance that exists throughout our local community.”
About 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.
