( Working in the Grange kitchen to make it happen

This is the seventh year that San Juan Islanders gathered together at the SJI Grange to give thanks and celebrate the season together.

There are many volunteers that make this happen each year: the Grange, Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the Legion, Kiwanis. Lions, Leos, Rotary Club, and Soroptimists sponsor the event. Kerwin Johnson of Islanders Insurance is a major underwriter and King’s Market donates the turkeys. The Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and 4H join by helping to distribute flyers about the dinner.

For a partial list -that does not include everyone, but only those that ended up on a list- who helped out, click below:
