Thanksgiving at Safe Harbor Church is a community event. We had expected our friends from Arctic Barnabas, Jim and Terri Hibbard to arrive before Thanksgiving to help with the preparation and serving. They were weathered in at Dutch Harbor for five days and didn't arrive until after Thanksgiving. The school kids and their teacher Dawn came to the rescue and baked all of the pies. I think they baked a dozen pumpkin pies and 5 berry pies and they were delicious.
Several friends from Trident and the village came to set up tables and decorate.
Our hard working friends at Trident were processing King Crab and only a few were able to attend however we had over 70 people enjoy the meal and the fun. The folks from the village enthusiastically supported a fund raising auction for our new Otter Quilting Club
Over $500 was raised by auctioning these three small quilted pieces. Jason from the village was our capable auctioneer. Thank you Akutan Village! The funds will be used to buy more fabric and sewing supplies for the Quilting Club. The hope is to provide a healthy and creative activity for our ladies and an opportunity to provide some community service.
