A contemporary addition to the historic Bailey farm, the company provided the Society with compost for the major renovation of its garden on Avenue B. Plus, they accepted without charge, many truck loads of yard waste.
Yes, the owner’s name is Chuck and his tasty business gave the Society a very generous discount on a grilled salmon dinner for our 40th Anniversary Dinner.
Owner Anne Dottai stepped up without hesitation to help produce our Anniversary Dinner this past June — even carting the dirty dishes across Avenue B to wash them in her industrial machine!
Kandace Harvey provided sponsorship for our “This Place Matters” billboard and then an in-kind donation of helicopter time to document the Kla Ha Ya Days Parade. A shout out of Thanks to pilot Stacy Stone and photographer Dennis Bishop as well.
Co-owner Mary Pat Connors came to the Society five years ago with an idea to order hand painted glass ornaments, picturing historic Snohomish homes, as a fundraiser for the Society’s scholarship fund. Unfortunately, the shipping process is marginal and the 2009 ornaments arrived after Christmas this year! Fortunately, there is a long waiting list for the latest edition.
Kusler’s is also the retail outlet for signed copies of “Early Snohomish” — for which Mary Pat refuses to take a commission — 100% of the sales price goes to the Society.
Plus, Mary Pat and Janet enthusiastically supported the printing of our “Making History” posters featuring the SHS girls basketball champions 100 years apart, which is for sale at the store but offered as a gift for joining the Society.
Owner Brad McDaniel has never turned down a request for help including a generous discount on all purchases for both the Blackman House Museum and the Waltz Building.
Thank you to one and all, and Happy New Year Wishes from your Membership Web Team!
