First Annual All Guemes Holiday Dinner Huge Success

Our first annual All-Guemes Holiday Dinner was a huge success, thanks to everyone who attended, shopped, cooked, brought delicious dishes, and desserts, served, decorated, put up the lights, entertained, and helped with the clean up.  Our cooks estimate that they served at least 150 diners.  And food was still left over!

The party was achieved through the efforts of the following community organizations: Guemes Island Community Center, the Guemes Community Church, Guemes Connects, the Guemes Island Fire Department, the Guemes Island Ferry Committee, CERT, GIPOA, and many, many talented individuals--Toni Schmokel, decorator. Barbara Larson provider of outdoor lights and Jennifer who donated boxes of holiday decorations.

Ron Knowles, Master of Ceremonies, introduced the musical entertainers: Betty Curtis, an island children's singing group led by Thea LaCross, Jon and Malia Prescott, George Park, Mike and Susan Gwost.

This event is an example of how Guemes Island residents work together, play together, and unite together to make our island the special place that it is!
