A gem was re-found over at the Sunnyland park. Prior to the construction of the freeway, a tree was planted for every service member of Whatcom County who died during WWI. Although William Matthews original tree is gone, his dedicated marker still exists under an American Elm tree.

The Auxiliary of 1585 will be having their Dessert Silent Auction. February 13.
Would love to have all you bakers bring a dessert! If you don’t bake, like me, it’s a fun time to check out all the cool bakeries in Bellingham and purchased something.

The silent auction is from 5 to 7 PM, if you would like to bring something, please have it at the post by 4 PM.
Or come on up and bid on a dessert and you’ll have it for Valentine’s Day!
