Here Ye! Hear Ye!
12/1/22 - Whew – hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving Holiday doing whatever it is that you do to be thankful.
I hope you all ate a little extra to celebrate Shane’s birthday! Happy Birthday Shane.
The EMS Gods were kind to the on-call crew – thank you Russ, Kelly, Bonnie, and Ruth for being on call,
My entire family (35 plus and minus my brother Bill and his family) celebrated being together at the Patterson Lake Cabins and honored the fact that we have a choice of whether to jump into Patterson Lake on Thanksgiving Day. You would be proud that your fearless leader did the plunge (the only female of my generation and the next one down – most of the men jumped in and the next oldest female was 14). Yes I have bragging rights and I plan to use them!
Prepare for some snow and some very cold temperatures in the next few days.

Consider this your first but not last notice of the 2022 Volunteer Appreciation Event!
Date: Sunday December 4th, 2022 – why Sunday you say??? Well Kathy Borgersen has been our long-time caterer and she can only do it on Sunday as she now owns the Arrowleaf – AND the bazaar is on the 3rd which keeps us from decorating prior to the event. We need to find a caterer for next year and I hope to have the event on the second Saturday of December as to include all you who go to bed at 7:00 on a school night.
Time: 5:00- Social Hour
6:00 – Dinner
7:00 – Program
8:00 – Dancing/Socializing– no gift exchange this year – it got voted off the island.
Location: Methow Valley Community Center
Who: Aero Methow Responders and Board Members. You can each bring one guest it can be a friend, spouse, relative, neighbor, someone you want to share this special evening with. Children are invited but you may find them to be a bit of a distraction, and do you really want them to see you having fun??? Well, with that said, they are always welcome and if dogs were to be trusted not to jump on the food table and eat the turkey and ham – they too would be invited!
Attire: Methow Style--- formal to “just got done skiing and thought I would pop in” style!
Caterer- Kathy Borgersen and team – her last catering event of her career now that she owns Arrowleaf.
DJ/Sound System: Ian Ross – get him your playlist and if you don’t you are NOT ALLOWED to complain about the music!!! Oh Ian – last song MUST be “Hey Jude” or “Save the Last Dance for Me!”
Decoration and take down: Aero Methow Rescue Staff
Spirits: Rick and Missy LeDuc
