Annual
Meeting Brings Salmon Supporters Together
This Year's
Annual Meeting and Celebration, held on January 29, brought together about
130 members of our community to enjoy a wonderful grilled salmon dinner,
bid on fabulous silent auction items, mingle with fellow salmon-lovers,
and celebrate SFEG's accomplishments of 2003. Dr. David R. Montgomery,
geomorphologist and University of Washington Professor, gave a terrific
presentation about his most recent book, "King of Fish: The Thousand
Year Run of Salmon." Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make
it a wonderful event, particularly Gail Hopley, who did a wonderful
job organizing the silent auction. Thank you to all the donors of silent
auction items, to Cascades Job Corps Culinary Arts class for cooking
delicious accompaniments to the salmon, to Ken Urstad and Dave
Beatty for collaborating on salmon donations, and to Arn Thoreen
for acting as "grillmaster". Thanks also to Scott's Bookstore
for donating a percentage of book sales proceeds, and to Mount Vernon
Parks and Recreation Department for the use of Hillcrest Park Lodge. We
had a great time this year, and we hope to see you all again next year!
