• The Saga of the Flag Pole 

On SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 2021 we held our Annual Membership Meeting and Birthday Party on Patos Island! There were 56 loyal Patos friends there to celebrate.  The members elected four new people to the Board of Directors, Jo Ann Johannesen, Lynn Onsum, Gail Glass, and Karen Topham.  Congratulations to each of them, and thank you all for making this trip wonderful!

This short video (password is "Bill") is of William "Patos Bill" LaVergne who was stationed on Patos Island in 1952-53 during the Korean War and lived in the original keepers quarters. Bill has also served as Vice President and Chairman of the flagpole committee.
