Forest Festival Court Club Visit:
This year's Forest Festival Court members made their first presentation of the year to Skookum Rotarians on May 1st. They each had forest stories to be told and they tested club members with a Bingo game that stretched our regional knowledge. Forest Festival is Thursday May 30th through Sunday June 2nd. This year's theme is Facets of the Forest.
