a
Big Hit

Barbecue will be from noon t08 p.m.at Hill Top Park on
July 21 and 22. Stop by and have a wonderful all you can

The recipe used for the salmon is
from an old Kiwanis member who went back four
generations to get this recipe from Scandinavia. You'll
have to agree that this is one of the best tasting
salmon you've ever had. Over 1,000 people were served
last year and the Kiwanis are anticipating that much or
more again this year. "The salmon is absolutely fabulous
and everyone is so pleased with the . meal that they
come back year after year;' said Wally Walsh {)f the
Kiwanis. "It just keeps growing every year as the work
gets out."
The cost is only $1 0 per person, $8
for seniors and students age 10 and.under are $5.
There will also be a silent auction
on both days of the event from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
There is a large variety of great items to bid on. Bids
can be made on Saturday and Sunday and the highest
bidders will be notified on Sunday after the dinner is
over.
The Tillicum Kiwanis Club members are
currently all over 60 years of age. There are about 30
members and they will all be participating in this
event, as well as several volunteers.
The Kiwanis support the community in many ways,
including the young Children Priority One Program, the
Senior Citizens Center, youth scholarships, Junior
Achievement, Camp Casey, a camp for children with
disabilities and of course, they are quite active in the
Snohomish Food Bank by donating time and money. Their
motto is "Changing the world one child and one community
at a time:"
The Kiwanis' Young Children Priority One Program
