Let’s take a look around:
• Leah Altman’s new website just went live for Pin Pin Apparel – check it out!

• You know The Chameleons are playing this weekend at The Rumor Mill – they changed the date – they were playing tonight, but now they’re on the schedule for Saturday at 7:30pm – see you there!

• And…could you spare some shoes?
Besides their event last night to raise money for their mission to the Dominican Republic, the Woodward family is taking shoes to people who need them – here’s more from Vic:
Shoes for kids – Donate your shoes today!
Two years ago, the Friday Harbor community donated bunches of shoes for Haitian kids living in the Dominican Republic. What an incredible gift to the children living in the bateys (villages) outside Barahona! As in the past, Children of the Nations will distribute the shoes that we collect this year. We, the Woodward family, are going to be serving again in the Dominican Republic for 7 weeks, June 14th – Aug. 4th. Thank you in advance for your shoe donations. Please drop off cleaned-up shoes for young and old at these locations: San Juan Island Fitness and Extreme Fitness. For more information call…378-8435.

That’s Mike Close at Friday Harbor Marine cooking brats for the Chamber of Commerce meeting on Monday…and for visitors to the island all summer.
• My seven year old friend Lilah has a gluten free diet – good for her! She asked me the other day if something was “non-gluten-free,” and I told her it was “non-gluten-free-free.”
She gets it.
