Save the Date for the *Virtual* Annual Meeting!

This past year has certainly required adaptation by all of us and the courage to continue boldly on the path of conservation, even in such uncertain times. The Land Trust has accomplished so much this year and we most certainly couldn’t have done it without the support from our members. Thank you!

Normally we’d be celebrating in person, together, at the “best potluck on Bainbridge Island.” But since this year has been anything but normal, we’re looking forward to celebrating with you virtually.

On January 22nd, 2021, we’ll be distributing a pre-recorded program through email, but rest assured this format will still provide for a fun-filled Annual Meeting experience, as we have much to share. This year’s program will include:

  • An update from Executive Director, Jane Stone, on the Land Trust’s conservation accomplishments in 2020.
  • The presentation of the Phyllis Young and Jo Schaffer Volunteer of the Year Awards
  • The ability for you to vote as a part of our formal election of new and second-term Land Trust Board Members.
  • Celebrating the work and accomplishments of our outgoing Board Members.
  • Testimonials from members on the importance of the Island’s natural spaces, especially now.
  • And more!

 

And yes – if you are pining for Connie’s deviled eggs, Jane’s curry chicken salad (from the Streamliner Diner recipe book), or any other of your favorite Annual Meeting dishes, there will be an opportunity for potluck recipe sharing! Click here to submit your favorite potluck recipe to our Community Engagement Coordinator, Matt. On the date of the Annual Meeting, we’ll include a downloadable copy of all the submitted recipes!

We will miss you and so wish that we could gather at our favorite Land Trust event.  But, we will still celebrate together and toast to what we as a community value and cherish, our conserved natural areas! More importantly, it is our chance to thank YOU, our members. The Land Trust cannot succeed in its mission without you. You all are vital to our community conservation successes, and we are grateful for the unrelenting support you’ve shown us over the past year.

We look forward to sharing with you all we’ve accomplished this past year, *virtually* on January 22nd!
