Crepes recipe

2 eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions:
Step 1
In a large mixing coliseum, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradationally add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the swab and adulation; beat until smooth.
Step 2 Heat a smoothly waxed griddle or frying visage over medium high heat. Pour or lade the batter onto the griddle, using roughly1/4 mug for each waffle. c**k the visage with a indirect stir so that the batter fleeces the face unevenly.

Last kiss: I'll never forget the day my mom called me in a panic "Janna, you've got to convince your daddy to get rid of that horse, it's gonna kill him!". Major (AKA "Major Deal" as mama named him) was a young and vicious stallion when dad bought him. He "couldn't be broke". The men who owned him previously had used a technique to break horses that involved beatings and tying his head tightly between two posts where they left him standing without food or water for 4 weeks. Major stood strong. When dad brought him home, he barreled through five strands of fence within minutes of arriving and he'd Bite and strike at anyone within distance. My dad never broke him.... he earned his heart. Every single day, for hours and hours dad, worked to earn that abused horse's trust. Love won and after two full years, Major allowed my dad to ride him. When dad would go out, Major would kiss him on the head over and over. They had a bond that only horse people could ever understand. It seemed only fitting to let Major say goodbye. This is Major's last kiss.

Our Story

The official charter for the Bellingham Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) was submitted in September 1918. The original group had 24 members.

In keeping with the events of the period, the initial study group was concerned with international relations. In the late 20’s, the branch added a Child Study Group. By the 40’s, fourteen study groups existed and a project to collect books to rebuild Russia’s ruined libraries began. In the mid 50’s, the Used Book Sale began and the first “named grant” awarded with the proceeds. Since then, 113 Educational Foundation Named Grants have been awarded.

The Used Book Sale continued for 48 years and became the main fundraiser for the Educational Foundation, a Western Washington University Endowment and for scholarships for women at WWU and Whatcom Community College. During the 70’s and 80’s, Bellingham members secured AAUW Research and Project Endowment grants. One grant funded the Bellingham Fish Book, a recipe and information book about Bellingham and its fishing industry. Another grant was used for a “hands-on” Northwest Coastal Native Peoples’ Project. Established by Bellingham AAUW and supported by the Whatcom County Museum of History, it was called “Kumtux Mamook.” Today, members continue volunteering for this children’s workshop at elementary schools throughout the Whatcom County.

In 2002, the branch began a program to recognize the achievements of girls in Whatcom County who excel in science, mathematics and technology. The program is intended to motivate young women to advance their education in these disciplines. Over 200 young women have been recognized in the ensuing years.
