but the guys had to pay. Among the men on Gene's crew were Dick Koeb, Wil

Pot Luck, Friday, May 4, 2007
!Hola! For this Fiesta we combined the usual Friday
evening Pot Luck with assistance from Rachel and the Kitchen Crew. The Club
House was splendidly decorated and looked very festive, with the artistic
endeavors of Elsie Turner, Kaak Crawford and others. What a marvelous array of
sumptuous goodies we had to Easter We had a memorable Easter celebratory dinner, thanks to
Rachel and her

must have been at least 45 people present, and the tables were groaning under
the weight of enchiladas, taco salads, corn bread, tamale pies, chile varieties,
salads, desserts, including flan.

salad of mixed baby spring greens, rolls and butter, mashed potatoes and
decorations. It is a beautiful setting among the tall forest evergreen fir
trees. The ride over from Chimacum winds along the lush
pastures of the valley, and is framed by wooded ridges. We ran into
a blinding hail storm, however....which is a bit out of the ordinary for
April. The food at the Timberhouse is very good, the service was
excellent and very warm and friendly. They are open every day for
lunch and dinner, and there is a Sunday brunch, as well. If you're
lucky enough to be visiting the PNW this summer or fall, it would be a
good destination for a leisurely meal!

Friday Evenings at the SKP Park
|
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, and with yet another spring yet to come, members and guests have been gathering at the Club House to meet and share food together in our community. At some time, back in the late years of the past century, legend has it that a visitor and his wife lit a fire in the BBQ out in the Gazebo to cook their evening repast of hot dogs. The smell of wood and sizzling meat brought others there to join them. That summer the Friday BBQ Pot Luck was born!
Carl and Elsie Turner had been part of
this growing tradition and took it over Around 2003 or '04 Gene and Lois Holly transitioned in as the new Host and Hostess. By now, this Friday gathering had become an established Tradition! Unfortunately, the names of the aforesaid visitors had been lost in the mists of forgetfulness, and no one can remember who they were. Lois and Gene have continued their roles as Host/Hostess ever since.
The Friday BBQ's were supposed to end after Labor Day, but the weather continued to be mild and sunny...perfect late afternoons/evenings for alfresco dining. Gene maintained, "When Lois and I get here and there Is only one other couple for dinner, then that is the last gathering"?
That didn't happen! We continued on well
into October, with enthusiastic diners and perfect weather! We decided to
have a moveable feast. We would move the gathering inside, with Rachel's
permission and the Club House The inside Pot Lucks have been very successful! There have always been around at least twenty folks present. We have a sign up sheet for main dishes, vegetable dishes, salads and desserts. At times a few more people have come in at the last minute, and there's always been enough to share. After the weather turned chilly and the fire place was again operational, we began to arrange the tables into a horse shoe formation in front of the fire. That has made the gathering seem closer and more like a family party. In the spring, when the warmer weather becomes more conducive to eating outside again, we'll be meeting once more in the Gazebo for Bring-Your-Own steak, hot dogs and grilled chicken, and a dish to share. Isn't it nice to have this seasonal option! Come and join us!

themselves as Host and Hostess around 2001. Carl would start the wood
fire around 4:30, and that would draw people in with their individual
meats to grill, their dishes to share, their own wine and table set ups,
and the makings of a party were all there! 
The
summer and early fall of 2006 continued as in the previous years. The
Fridays were reliably sunny and warm; the attendance was enthusiastic.
The food brought to share was always toothsome and eclectic, although we
couldn't be sure of the menu being balanced. One Friday there was only
one dessert; the following Friday there were eleven sweet offerings! But,
folks had an arena to show off their 
scheduling permitting, to a Friday Indoor Pot Luck. Gene said that it was
time for some one else to manage the logistics for the winter, and that is
when Wil and I took up the mantles of Host and Hostess in late October.
