Our guest speakers on Friday, October 4th were Liliya Valihun and Steve Chittenden who were with us to share information on the Hebron IT Academy. Steve is a member of the Everett-Port Gardner Rotary Club. Since 2016, the Hebron IT Academy has been helping orphans, semi-orphans and young people who suffer from the Russian aggression in Ukraine or found themselves in a difficult life circumstance. Hebron IT Academy is empowering vulnerable youth through tech education in Ukraine.
Our guest speaker on Friday, October 27, 2024 was Secretary of State Steve Hobbs to talk about the upcoming elections. The Secretary has been a member of our Club since May 2005.
The Office of Secretary of State is much more than just elections. The Secretary of State is Washington's chief elections officer responsible for supervising state and local elections and working with 39 county auditor's offices running those elections, certifying results and producing the state's voter guide. During the past few years, the effort has been to encourage voter registration and turnout, adopt new technologies and policies to support that work and bolster the security of voting infrastructure and practices in Washington state.
Our special program and guests on Friday, September 20th were Dr. Mary Templeton, Superintendent of the Lake Stevens School District and Robb Stanton, Executive Director of Operation Services, discussing the upcoming District Bond and the importance of passing the measure on the November 5th General Election ballot.
Dr. Templeton reported that while other school districts are loosing students, the Lake Stevens School District continues to grow. Currently there are 10,000 students attending schools in the District. The Bond would allow the District to build a new elementary school and fund essential updates across the district and replaces the BOND that our community approved in 2005.
Classification talks by Club members is an incredible way to get to know one another. In recent years, classification talks were primarily given by new Club members. So, we decided to go with a relatively new member (young) and an (older) member as a way for all Club members to know and find out about their history and background. Picture above are Rickelle Pegrum and Gary O'Rielly.
Interact is a service club for youth ages 14-18. The name is a combination of the words international and action. We join Clubs in over 120 countries around the world.
