La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

I’m writing to express my gratitude to our community on behalf of the La Conner Braves Club Fundraising Council. This past Saturday, so many people – those with kids who attend the club, and those who just wanted to support – showed up for a “Taste of India” to help keep the doors wide open for the 130-plus kids who attend the after school program each day.

This unique fundraising event was made possible by people who said “yes” to donating a silent auction item, volunteering or just stopping by for some delicious curry. We are grateful to Shyni Skowrosnki for donating her talents – and many, many hours in the kitchen – to create lovely dishes for us to sample. Thank you, also, to Tessa McLeod for once again rolling up your sleeves to pitch in and help with an open heart and lots of laughter. Thank you to Marlene and your rock-star staff. Thank you to all who took the time to stop in and break naan together and learn more about the Club.

How nice it is that our kids get to call this place home.

With gratitude,

Liz Theaker, vice president
