At Last--An In Person Celebration!

Since our club's Christmas Party on December 12, 2019, we have not been able to have an evening in person celebration of Rotarians and guests.  There was joy all around last Friday evening as we joined at the Community Hall at 7 Lakes to honor our outgoing officers and directors, install our new slate of officers and directors, and to recognize three special community members for their service to the community.  

Club Administrator Director Jola Barnett was our mistress of ceremonies.  She and her committee planned and organized the evening that included a nice buffet catered by the Centennial Bar and Grill.

Oso Slide Memorial

Dayn Brunner

Our speaker on June 3 was Dayn Brunner, the brother of one of the victims of the slide.  On March 22, 2014 at 10:37am, the SR530, or "Oso", slide engulfed the community around Steelhead Haven, just east of Oso. The mud and debris from the adjacent mountainside destroyed 49 homes and ended the lives of 43 people.  One of those victims was Dayn Brunner's sister, Summer Raffo, when the slide engulfed a stretch of  the highway.  Summer was diving from Darrington to a horseshoeing job near Ryan Falls west of Oso.

Duane Rhodes

Now Retired From Boy Scouts of America


Duane Rhodes
 
On Thursday, May 27, we heard from our Assistant District Governor, Duane Rhodes.  Duane has been a member of our club since 2002, but his journey in Rotary began in 1989.  Since this is a long Memorial Dad holiday, instead of a story narrative, you can see some photo's below of his father in the Marines and 3 of Duane in the Marines.  Duane was named after his father who served during World War II. You can see Duane's presentation on our club's YouTube channel by clicking HERE.
 
Thanks for your service!

Tree Planting Project

Mel Simpson Plants One of the First Trees
 
It was really three projects in one (or maybe even 4)!  Our member Mel Simpson, as a participant in Leadership Snohomish County, needed a project to culminate the 9 month leadership development program.  She chose as her project raising funds for an Arlington based non-profit, Village Community Services.  In particular, a fundraiser for the Victoria Village Learning Center involving tree sales for Arbor Day 2021.
