On November 8, we gathered in the beautiful Red Cedar Room at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s Blyn campus for our annual celebration of PTC volunteers. Ann Sargent, Blyn adopter manager and tribal employee, spent most of Sunday helping with the party and chose a selection of door prize gifts on behalf of the tribe. There were heavy socks and knit hats with tribal designs, an exquisite glass ornament, and a blanket with a lovely design.
Other prizes donated by Peninsula Trails Coalition board members and friends included wine, bike shop gift certificates, and handmade chocolate. For the second year in a row, the grand prize was a biplane ride piloted by Summer Martell, wife of board member David Trotter. Patti Carman eloquently described how much fun she had on the biplane ride she won last year, and then drew the winning ticket: Blyn trail adopter John McBride.
Everyone munched on pizza, lasagna, and salads while Jeff Bohman and volunteer managers read the names of the past year’s volunteers so we could applaud them. Door prize winners were chosen between announcements. About 90 people attended—a new record and a great party!
Thanks to the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe for sharing this splendid venue. Thanks also to Patti Carman and Joe Aleto, who, in addition to volunteering on the trail and organizing food for the party, donated the amount of party costs not covered by the county. Thank you all for a fun time!
