FUN Stories
 
Fidalgo Island Rotary celebrated its Charter Night with a joyous gathering to commemorate 28 years of service to the community. Members and guests enjoyed a delicious grilled cheese bar and shared a beautifully decorated cake on Saturday night, and of course, has a lot of fun. The evening was filled with nostalgia as attendees reminisced about milestones and cherished memories from nearly three decades of fellowship and service. The club honored its rich history while looking forward to continuing its mission of Service Above Self. It was a night to celebrate not only the past but also the bright future of Fidalgo Island Rotary. Cheers!

On Tuesday, Dec. 10, Marty Peace from the La Conner Rotary Club attended our morning meeting to update our membership on the happenings in the IPA - International Project Alliance. The IPA was founded by our own Peter Martin ten years ago in an effort to combine Rotary Club resources to make a bigger impact in developing countries (Pssst - in 2022, Rotary International awarded Peter with the Service Above Self award, the highest Rotary award for an individual, for his work creating & furthering the IPA.)  
Marty said the IPA's biggest need is for individuals to sponsor students. There are currently 78 students in need of a sponsor to continue their education. See the attached photo to participate! 
 
 
 
Fidalgo Island Rotary jingled all the way at its annual Holiday Party on Dec. 17! The morning was bursting with holiday cheer, featuring elves, festive sweaters, and even some antlered reindeer impersonators. The Harmonaries brought the tunes, a wacky gift exchange brought the laughs, and a mouthwatering breakfast tied it all together. 
 
 
Remember, there will be no meetings (or newsletter) for the next two weeks due to the holidays. See you in January!

On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen!
These reindeer were jolly and festive, but not necessarily the best dancers! Our FIR Elves joined the Anacortes Holiday Parade once again as the non-precision John Deere Reindeer team. Plus, some FIR members were spotted caroling downtown. Click here to view more photos.
