The program at this week's meeting will be presented by Catherine Endicott, Donor Relations Manager at the North Cascades Institute. The Institute's mission is to inspire environmental stewardship through transformative learning experiences in nature. Catherine lived all over the United States and Cameroon before deciding to make Seattle her home in 2003. Following a 13-year career in corporate sales and marketing and a five-year stint doing volunteer work and obtaining a Master’s degree in theology, she headed West to become a fundraising professional. As a perpetually curious person, she values the impact living outside one’s comfort zone has on changing one’s worldview, and, eventually, one’s behavior. When Catherine isn’t hard at work in Seattle engaging with current and future donors, she is either on the hiking trail, trying another new recipe or visiting her large family on the East Coast.

Just a few scenes from our Viking crew during the Boat Parade on Saturday, July 24th as a way of highlighting Lake Stevens. This event is likely to become an annual event perhaps at AquaFest which was canceled this year due to Covid19.
Vikings dressed for a wonderful evening on the Lake. You can never have enough fun. And, our Club is really grand at having fun while continuing to serve the community of Lake Stevens.
A very interesting and intriguing program this past Friday as Christina and Ryan Hillsberg talk about their book, License to Parent drawing on their careers in the CIA. How their careers as former CIA intelligence officers, now in the private sector took their CIA training to raise their five children.
Both spoke of their careers in the CIA and how they met on a field tour, married and used their CIA training to help raise their children in a way that would make them aware of their surroundings when out in public or even at home. Operations Officers/Intelligence Officer best describes Ryan's job in the CIA. Ryan speaks French, Danish and Portuguese and spent most of his time in Europe. Christina was assigned to Africa based on her studies in Linguistics, Swahili and African Studies. Her initial interview was with the Peace Corps and the CIA. She started as a Intelligence Analysis and when on to the Operations side of the CIA where she met Ryan. They talked about numerous scenarios involving their early careers with the CIA. One example was the term "Get off the X" is something that they teach at the CIA Farm. X = danger. Very interesting book.
