Proclamation - Elder Service Provider Week

On January 30th, Whatcom County Executive, Pete Kremin was our guest at our annual Professional Dinner where he read a Proclamation in honor of each of you. For those of you who were unable to attend this event, the Proclamation set aside the entire week as Elder Service Provider week in Whatcom County. This was done in recognition of all that is done by you, the professionals who serve and care for our seniors. A copy of this will be at the Elder Service Provider booth at the Conference. Be sure to take a look! We also want to thank those businesses in our community who chose to honor us and what we do for seniors by providing wonderful gifts and services that we were able to give away at our annual Professional Dinner. Elder Service Providers wish to thank:

  • Silhouettes Salon and Day Spa
  • Catwalk Salon
  • Giuseppe's Italian Restaurant
  • The Chrysalis Inn and Spa
  • Mark Bergsma Gallery
  • Jody Bergsma
  • Smugglers Inn Bed and Breakfast

We would also like to recognize and thank the Bellingham High Chamber Orchestra for setting the elegant tone for the evening with their beautiful music. It was a delightful evening of networking and supporting each other.
