VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION AWARD WINNERS 2009

For well over a century volunteers have been central to our thinking and planning at the Mt. Baker Chapter. Our annual dinner and award ceremony celebrates the enormous contributions of our 300+ volunteers and pays special tribute to those individuals and groups who have gone above and beyond for our Chapter and our community.

This year's "Evening in Italy" event included an Italian Dinner, sponsored by the Olive Garden in Burlington, as well as hors d'oeuvres and dessert created and served by the students of the Cascade Job Corps Culinary School of the Arts program. Ken Swanson of www.KenSwansonHomes.com  created the perfect ambience by performing a number of Italian musical classics. Thank you to these wonderful sponsors!
