FUN Stories
Once again, Fidalgo Island Rotary members host one of Anacortes' favorite booths at Waterfront Festival - the FREE Kids Boat Building Booth! Each year, FIR facilitates the building, creation and gathering of all the supplies, including the wood boat hulls, sails and boat decorations. The club helps kids build boats and test them in a large pool. Building a boat is a longstanding tradition for many in Anacortes - many parents tell us they still have their OWN boat they built when they were a kid as they now bring their own children to the booth. 
 
Thank you to all who make this awesome event possible!

The Ann Washington chapter of the Washington State Daughters of the American Revolution presented Dr. Steve Miller and Peter Martin with the chapter's State Community Service Award in May 2025.

The Washington State Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) permit each chapter to present a maximum of two State Community Service Awards annually, although not all chapters do as it requires a significant amount of paperwork and research.The two recipients for the 2025 awards for the Ann Washington Chapter, based in Skagit County, are members of the Fidalgo Island Rotary Club. Presenting the surprise awards were FIR Member who is the AnnWashington Chapter Regent Kim Kimmy, left, and at right Ann Washington Chaplain MarKay Neumann, and Chapter Member Therese Rudzis, all of Anacortes. Recipients are Dr. Steve Miller, left, in front of one of the volunteer surgical teams he recruited, and Peter Martin who organizes philanthropic endeavors in Honduras. They will be featured in the August edition of Fidalgo Living magazine. Walt Guterbock and Val Tibbetts of FIR were instrumental in assisting Kim with the research and endorsements needed to submit for the award. In addition to certificates, each awardee received a special WSSDAR pin. 

 
Shout out to the Rotarians who got together to clean up Hwy 20 on April 26! FIR adopted this stretch of highway for beautification earlier this year.
