Proudly Presents the Last in Our Winter Series: Audience Favorites: Lost and Found The Japanese tsunami of 2011 swept an estimated 25 million tons of debris into the Pacific Ocean. Some of it eventually washed up on North American shores, to be recovered by beachcombers who, in many instances, wondered about the back-story behind the running shoes, boat hull or volleyball they’d found. See the heartwarming results at the Grange 7pm June 6th…by donation only.
 

America…All That We Share, celebrates our island community and the common ideals that connect us. The 2017 parade provides a grand event honoring the amazing people and organizations that enrich our lives. Last year the town looked fabulous all decked out with patriotic red, white and blue bunting.

To further encourage community spirit, Ace Hardware is generously offering a “Bunting Chamber Special”. The 6 foot wide X 3 foot tall swag bunting is only $19.99 plus tax.  This special offer is available for town merchants and parade participants to decorate their entry. By mid-June the holiday decorations will begin to appear.  Join in and show your spirit! Applications are available at the Chamber office or may be downloaded at www.sanjuanisland.org (http://www.sanjuanisland.org) .

Thank you to those who have already turned in their applications allowing us to proceed with parade planning.  We are so lucky to have such a creative community sharing their enthusiasm and talents to help make the SJI Chamber of Commerce July 4^th Parade a proud memory.  Traci Wilson, Parade Coordinator 360-298-7760, 206-595-5104, traciwilson74@gmail.com
