Rotary member, Andrew Davis, of Puget Sound Public Farms, just wrapped up its first year of running a vegetable garden benefitting the Stanwood-Camano Food Bank on the property. During the last several months, as people drove by Ovenell property on their way into Stanwood, volunteers were on the other side of the red barn tilling soil and planting produce. His nonprofit was featured in the Stanwood Camano Newspaper! We appreciate all your hard work for our community!

We thank Kathy Moe for her outstanding work on the Stanwood-Camano Rotary Parade and are excited that she will be president of our club next year.
