The officers extended heartfelt thanks to food bank director Paula John, a team of volunteers and advisory board members for their contributions of time and talents to help serve those in need who call upon the Salvation Army for assistance. Cumulative Anacortes volunteer time exceeded 2,000 hours.

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.
