Annual Post Picnic August 20

HIPP HIPP HIPP HURRA! Syttende Mai Parade

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.

Holidays Celebrated at Post 3063

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!”

Annual Spaghetti Dinner and Fundraiser a Success

After a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19, the post’s annual in-person Spaghetti Dinner went on without a hitch Saturday, Oct. 23. It was a wonderful dinner, courtesy of Chef Kay and her amazing team. There was also a raffle for select items and a virtual auction. If you missed out on the action and want to contribute to our Relief Fund, you can mail a check to the post or donate via our PayPal link. All donations are tax deductible! Thank you to everyone who pitched in and participated!
