Join us on Saturday, January 23, 2010, starting at 6PM, for our annual Crab Feed Scholarship Fundraiser dinner and dance. Victorious, a young jazz/blues band, is playing for us at Leif Erikson Hall, 2245 NW 57th Street, Seattle WA 98107 following the auctions. Victoria Mjolsnes who is of Norwegian descent, is the lead singer. A recent graduate of the Cornish College of the Arts, she is an accomplished performer and will add much to the festivities. The meal includes Dungeness Crab or Cornish Game Hen, baked potato, coleslaw, garlic bread, beverage, and dessert auction. There is a no host bar during the evening. The event is sponsored by Leif Erikson Lodge 2-001 Scholarship Committee.
