Comrades, family and friends represented Post 3063 for the first time in many years at Ballard’s annual Syttende Mai parade on May 17. They received a very warm reception from the crowd and some of us had fun waving to family and friend spectators. It was a wonderful community event and we plan on participating again next year.
After a two-year hiatus due to Covid, we celebrated the holidays last night at Post 3063. We had a big turnout in person and to go, and we all feasted on Chef Kay’s delicious food!
Two of our youth essay winners attended, recited their essays, and received their certificates and prizes. Congratulations, Leela and Rylan!
The very special guest was our Santa and a Seattle Times photographer was there to document her giving gifts and bringing joy to the room.
Our friends, The Top of the Hill Barbershop Quartet, crooned some holiday and classic tunes, creating a festive ambiance.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered and participated! As our Santa says, “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!”
