As Friends of Skagit County celebrates its 20th year, networks of small community groups across America are demonstrating the ability of local citizens to identify and address issues that negatively affect them.  With that in mind, the Friends Board is seeking to engage members -- and the communty-at-large -- in a grass-roots approach to minimizing threats to Skagit County's rural economy and natural resources that support it.  Whether living in small communities or large cities, opportunities for shaping the future are virtually endless.
