The La Conner School District honored us by nominating us for the Community Leadership Award from Washington Association of School Administrators for all we do for the district: food programs, dictionaries, grants, booster club support, Dolly Parton Imagination Library and college scholarships just to name a few.
Bill Henkel, Phil Prudhome and Maureen Harlan joined us Monday night to share concerns about the local affordable housing shortage and what Community Action of Skagit Valley is doing about it. They are constructing a project called Cascade Landing in Burlington to provide 45 affordable rental units. The funding sources are both private and public and present a working model for other potential projects.
