All,

 

What a fun time! 

 

It was a beautiful day, weather wise . . .

sunny, bright, light breeze.

 

Everyone enjoyed meeting each other

face to face.  It was such a pleasure to

see the neighborhood long-timers

mixing with the new arrivals.  And by

new arrivals, I not only mean new

residents but also the little babies

and children.  There are grandparents

and then there are grand-neighbors!

 

HCC was represented by 26 households

. . . we started coloring the houses as

people pointed out where they lived. 

That was fun and people were really

engaged over the map.  So, I have attached the color-coded lot map for your enjoyment.  You’ll see yellow highlighted lots which show the attending households.  Please let me know if anyone was accidentally omitted!  I also included a cross-referenced list of lot number to resident names.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed scrumptious Sockeye Salmon fillets. You might notice one lot on the color-coded map is shaded in pink (for salmon, naturally).  That would be an honorary spot for John Webby, otherwise known as “The Man”, for without his generosity and follow through we would have been salmon-less.  John runs the Trident Seafood’s processing plant in Alaska.  He goes through the enormous hassle to air-ship freshly caught Sockeye Salmon fillets to us.  Not frozen. Fresh caught, I swear, just hours before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of other great food was purchased and/or home-made, so nobody went hungry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All in all, we had over 50 adults and a large number of wee little ones, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was so heartwarming to see the shelter so crowded with our neighbors.

 

Big kudos to one and all, but perhaps a little bit of a more robust thank you to:

 

Susan Weholt, salmon chef extraordinaire . . . she brought her own spices and expertise.  Wowsa!  So yummy.

Karl Tegtmeyer, remarkable ‘burger and dog guy.

Dena Adante and Lauren Booth for the use of their grills

Aaron Weholt, transportation capt’n

And, of course, to all the helping hands to move the grub and stuff to and from the shelter.

Oh.  Able assist goes to Mac Henderson for volunteering his trusty pickup truck.
