Letter to the Editor

Pod Nod ScholarshipThanks

The scholarship fund for this year's Pod Nods at The Whale Museum benefited the local children thanks to grants from the Friday Harbor Elementary School PTA, Hard Clay Café, and John and Sharon Boyd. Thank you all!

Fifteen percent of the 64 Pod Nodders participated in the grants program this year. A special thank you is extended to Tami Ashcraft, President of the Friday Harbor Elementary School PTA and Diana Stepita for their help in recommending students under the scholarship program.

This year the Pod Nod season was extended to include a special Halloween Pod Nod on Saturday, October 29, 2005. Adding this special Pod Nod proved successful as we had the highest number of participants than any of the dates over the summer.

When a community shows such care for its youth, it is rewarded and enriched by the presence of its youth. Thank you islands businesses and families for your support of Pod Nods!
