Thanksgiving 2007
Pictured here are Kelly Heiberg (right) and Mae-Louise Dopps, who stopped for a moment Thanksgiving morning in the dining hall of the Anacortes Eagles building. The Eagles and Auxiliary 249 sponsor a free community meal each year, drawing support from dozens of people and organizations to serve about 500 dinners. Heiberg leads the team, which includes daughter Leah Heiberg and Charlie Lindsay (preparing stuffing). About 27 turkeys were cooked, with other dinner favorites including 500 pounds of potatoes, 150 pounds of carrots and 25 pounds of celery. Thanks to all involved in this wonderful gift to the less fortunate in our community.
