Community Dinners

During the 1990s, FCA hosted several salmon dinners; August, 1990, 1991, 1992 and July, 1996. Although the earlier dinners were successful as fundraisers, the July dinner was organized as a social gathering with a beach walk along Fauntleroy Cove. Tickets were purchased by 150 members (a bargain at $15 a person) with appetizers, beer and wine at the Karlstrom house, and chowder for the walk to the Cook house where 150 pounds of salmon (a sign of the times, the salmon was purchased at $4.00 a pound!) were barbequed and served. Prizes were raffled off and a good time had by all. The last event was held August 1, 2000 on elevated Fauntleroy between Henderson and Director streets. FCA provided hamburgers with attendees bringing appetizers, salads and desserts. A $7 donation was suggested and this was billed as a community BBQ inviting all neighbors to join in.
