Vashon Island Strawberry Festival 2011 Grand Marshal

It is an honor to name Kay White as Strawberry Festival’s Grand Marshal for 2011.  Kay is a long time Islander.  She has been a generous supporter of the Garden Club, Senior Center, Vashon Island Chorale, Vashon Opera, and Vashon Chamber Music, among many others.   Her wide interests include the arts, gardening, and social services.  Her home has been on the Vashon Allied Arts Garden Tour twice in recent years.

Kay is the catalyst behind the development of the new Vashon Center for the Arts that will be transformative for Vashon.  Kay is fun, engaging, and is enjoying participating in the process of seeing the dream of a performing arts center on Vashon come true.  Last summer Kay celebrated her 90th birthday with her “roll up her sleeves” attitude, her good nature, and generosity.

Look for Kay, 2011 Grand Marshal, in the Grand Parade on Saturday and the Tom Stewart Memorial Classic Car Parade on Sunday.
