CITY HALL CAMP NEEDS HELPERS
Lottie 210 protection camp still has a big need for skilled hands to secure tents and tarps- so few have the skills to set up to withstand the winds … Anyone with a Search and Rescue connections that would be willing to encourage them to show up and offer hands-on assist to a few tenters for a few hours each day would be super helpful.
WHATCOM COVID NUMBERS WAY UP
Please take care of yourself, your family, and our hard-working high-risk health care workers. Mask up, and cancel your family thanksgiving this year. Run it by zoom so all of us can all still be here to celebrate in person next year. Thank you!
VOLUNTEER WITH BELLINGHAM SCHOOLS CENTRAL KITCHEN
Dear Prospective Volunteers,
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Bellingham Public Schools. The good news is our youngest learners and most vulnerable students are back in school. There are strict health and safety protocols in place and so far, so good. Central Kitchen’s food service staff have also returned to schools to insure students have a nutritious daily meal leaving them shorthanded. They are in the process of hiring 7-9 food service staff by January but in the interim could use some helping volunteer hands to assemble student meal boxes which are distributed weekly to 14 school and housing sites throughout the city. Here are the details:
Food Service Volunteers
When: December 1st-3rd AND 8th-10th / Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays
Time: 11am-3pm
Description: Volunteers are required to have a food handlers permit and will assemble student meal boxes

MYSTERY FIND
On Nov 20, 2020, at 4:09 PM It’s sitting on the fence on Jefferson between Lynn and Henry. If it starts to rain I will bring it in and can be contacted at 360-303-0982. Call or text Katy Velasquez
It looks like a purple fingerless mitten. Do you think that’s right? I can’t see the scale. Maybe a miniature dachshund sweater? ~ Fl!p
BLUE WATER POTTERY
Friendly Neighborhood Pottery Stand: We are currently setting up our neighborhood pottery stand on days when we’re not forecast for rain, including this Saturday the 21st. All our pottery on the stand is cosmetic seconds, and retails for less than half of our regular prices. We accept Venmo for contact free sales, or cash. Our stand is set up on Vallette St, between W. North and Jefferson, and flies a blue Harold flag. You can check Facebook and Instagram to see if we’re open and what’s out there. ~ Megan & Jeremy Noet, Blue Water Pottery
RADIO FREE FL!P: THE MARY ELLEN CARTER
By Stan Rogers. With the most amazing story to start it off. This is a song that saved a life. This video starts with the man who lived because of this song, telling that story. I found out yesterday that the man who lived, later went on to save many, many more lives. I got to zoom in to Columbia Elementary and sing story-songs for the third graders, and looked up to make sure I had the background correct, and found out the rest of this story. This is a song I need often, and you may want to have it tucked in the back of your mind too.
