Fall 2022 Newsletter
Our Fall 2022 newsletter is now available. Click Here.SALMON & RIB BAKE
Thanks to everyone for a very successful Salmon and Rib Bake, and Silent Auction. We served over 800 salmon and rib meals (and another 100 hot dog meals), and auctioned off over 220 items at the Silent Auction. As a community event, it was a wonderful success, with great food and good weather (and we didn't run out of anything). As a fundraiser, it was also a great success - over half of our yearly operating budget is paid for by this event.AIHS Feature-length Videos on YouTube
