Poulsbo Lions moved the Garvin Tootle memorial bench from the current Fishline food bank location to the new one on Viking Avenue Saturday, April 5. There was a work party at the new place Saturday to finish painting and moving items into a storage truck so the cleaning process could begin.

 

Bench ceremony in memory of Garvin Tootle Thursday

Edited to add: Lion Jim Stark passed around an envelope at the Sept. 27 lunch meeting and collected $400 toward a fridge or freezer for Fishline!

Our Lions club purchased a bench for Fishline in memory of Garvin Tootle.
There will be a bench ceremony tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 27, at 1:30 p.m., right after our regular weekly meeting.

Please plan on joining us at Fishline for the presentation; and, if you have a red "Garvin shirt," please wear it.

Here's an email from Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson:

Thank you all for thinking of Garvin. I know that I miss him every Wednesday. Garvin used to call me or shoot me an email every week about what Fishline needed….(almost always peanut butter!!) and I would announce it at Council.

I miss him very much….his gruffness and compassion.
