Donations Wanted For Gwost Fundraiser
Donations are being sought for a “Spring Fundraiser” to defray some of the uninsured medical expenses for Mike Gwost’s neck surgery in October. The Fundraiser is set for Saturday, April 13th at 5 pm, at the Guemes Island General Store. There will be a silent auction, live auction, and raffle. If you’d care to donate a cool auction item, contact Karen Everett at karenguemes@gmail.com“, or text at 360.202.7373. Visit Event Web Site
Pulled pork donated by Fletcher of Dad’s Diner will be the delicious base for Mickey McEachern to create her version of pulled pork sandwiches on brioche buns with her cole slaw. A vegetarian dish will also be offered. The Store will also have Bonita Smith’s fluffy lemon cheesecake & Anne McCracken’s carrot cake. All food proceeds will go to the fund. The Store will not be serving its normal menu, but a no-host bar will be provided. The Savage Blues Band is playing.
