Around the isle…

Whenever you need a smile, be sure & drop in on David & Kathryn at San Juan Cellars next to the ferry landing. I'm sure glad that these two are the first folks that visitors to the island see...sets the tone for the island as a friendly place.

Let’s see what’s going on…

Zumba!

• For the equinox, this is your chance to take a Zumba class for free – Cynthia Burke is offering a free class tonight (Monday) from5:30 to 6:30pm  – she says Zumba for free when you bring cans of food for the foodbank! That’s at XYZ Movement Arts, just above Ravenhill, and down the way from M&W Auto.

• The middle school play “Still Life With Iris” starts this Thursday…do you have your ticket yet?

• Baby central: proud grrandparents Mike & Jeri Arhenius tell me Vera gets to be a big sis because Alisa & Scott are exprecting…congrats, too, to Courtney & Kaal Oldwyn, who also have #2 on the way.

Brad's here from Olympia...

• I got a chance to drop in last week over at Islanders Bank to meet Brad Williamson, the new CEO there (he took a few months ago over after Bob Coleman stepped down last July).

I could tell you all kinds of cool stuff about his background, but mostly I think it’s a good sign for the bank that he was the state’s Director of Banks & chose Islanders Bank to move to, since he knows the inside skinny on them.

His family & he decided to move to San Juan Island because we’re small here with good schools & a tight community…and to get out of the big city. His wife & kids will move up here when school’s out in June.

Really enjoyed meeting Brad, and I think you will, too. I got a strong feeling he’ll be a good fit for our island community.

Going to college in the same state - FHHS grads Kyle Schaeffer & Stephanie BArnes are both in school in Arizona, and dropped by last week's soccer game during spring break.
