Merry Christmas from the Rotary Club of Lake Stevens
from our Club to our friends and families throughout Lake Stevens, District 5050 and Snohomish County.
This Week's Meeting
In addition to the usual Club business stuff, the featured speaker this week is Terry Bockovich, the driving force behind Down to Earth Community Gardens. She will give us an update on this organization. Terry is a past recipient of the Club's Citizen of the Year honor and active in the community.
 
In light of Jim Haugen's "retirement" from Rotary--does one ever really retire from Rotary?--President Chris is accepting nominations for Club Services Chair.
 
It is that time of the year, when our semi-annual dues will be billed. $150 with an optional $50 that goes directly to the Rotary Foundation.
 
The link to our YouTube Channel is now available on our website and our weekly bulletins. You can view recent online meetings. If you watch any of them, you can count it as a makeup. Just let our Secretary, Gary O'Rielly know.
 
Thank you to all of our sponsors this year. They are listed below. When you patronize them make sure to mention that you are a Lake Stevens Rotarian!

Duke - When a Nonverbal Autistic Teen's Family is Falling Apart, He Must Find His Voice to Keep Them Together
Our special program was a preview of the short film by Thiao Dadalt and Dru Miller (Lake Stevens) about a autistic teenager Duke Peters. Dru was unable to join us for the viewing and asked Lance Morehouse to introduce the program. Duke lives a life of silence. He has no voice to speak from and can only communicate through groans, shouts, and violent outbursts. As his family begins to fall apart under the pressure of caring for him, Duke must find his voice to keep them together.  In the end, they discover that Duke can communicate through his iPad with beautifully written sentences as he finds his path forward with his family intact. A beautifully written short film that will enlighten the audience.
