facts and stories of early Scandi-
navian arrivals and samples of the
things they brought with them. A
program featuring these stories
and other surprises is in the works
for all to enjoy.
EACH CLUB member may
bring a guest to this Christmas
luncheon. Members will be called
to make reservations. Interested
person should respond to this in-
vitation by calling Jacy Daggett,
chair of the luncheon, at 432-
9277.
It was a record breaker! Com-
munity club hosts Mike and Linda
Benson and Jim and Ruth Irish
welcomed an overflow crowd of at
least 110 guests to Thanksgiving
Day dinner at the hall. Most had
made prior reservations to attend
and brought potluck side dishes
to a get-together sponsored by the
community club, an organization
that supplied the roast turkey,
mashed potatoes, gravy and stuff-
ing. Those preparing for the feast
set 110 places at the dining tables
but the overflowing gathering
found a number of happy eaters
seated on the sidelines with plates
on their knees.
The proof of the matter is in the
eating. One hundred pounds of
turkey, donated by Wal-Mart, and
mounds of assorted rolls, sliced
breads and pies donated by the
Olympic Bakery were consumed.
A good mix of potluck dishes were
brought to make the festive board
groan and only one complaint was
heard. "Where are the green ol-
ives?"
As a special treat, Emilee Link
serenaded diners with several
melodies on her cello. She is a
friend of Ed and Pare Wood, who
donated five door prizes. Lucky
winners went home with either a
tub of holiday butter cookies or a
holiday molded baking pan and
cookie mix.
THE IRISHES and the Bensons
are thankful for the volunteers
who helped make the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner a success. Arlen Mor-
ris, Tim McGregor and Barbara
LaJune set the table and provided
seasonal decorations. The help-
ful kitchen crew included Willa
Smith and her daughter, Tom and
Janet Irish, Bill and Marlene Hol-
man, Colleen Arthur and Eleanor
Pranger's grandson Chris.
Today is November 29. The
question for today concerns Bill
Gates, a Washingtonian who at
age 52 is chairman and chief soft-
ware architect of Microsoft Corpo-
ration and ranked as among the
wealthiest people in the world.
What did he do 32 years ago? On
November 29, 1975 the young
man from Seattle was 20 years old
grown so large that the organiza-
tion has had to move its annual
Christmas banquet to the com-
munity hall on Friday, December
7. Those attending this members-
only dinner will feast on prime rib
and poached salmon and be enter-
tained by John Strasberger and
Dorsey Holt.
The club is not planning any
travels during the winter months.
They have dine-out adventures
scheduled for January and Febru-
ary and will celebrate the coming
of spring early in March with a
wine appreciation weekend in Or-
egon.
FOR A BRIGHT spot on your
holiday calendar, remember to at-
tend one of the two concerts that
will be resented by the Harstine
Community Chorus. You will be
rewarded by excellent music cel-
ebrating the Christmas season on
Saturday, December 8, at 7 p.m. or
on Sunday, December 9, at 3 p.m.
at the community hall.
There is only one senior lunch
scheduled for next month and that
will be on Wednesday, December
5, at noon in the community hall.
However, there will be a Christ-
mas dinner at Damon's Diner in
the hall and there will be three se-
nior lunches in January.
A few key words, from the menu
for the December lunch, resonate
and those words are "stew" and
"angel biscuits."
when you say "stew" you're talk-
