The Angel Pillow Project
Last Friday, our members were introduced to "The Angel Pillow Project". For every pillow sold, one is donated to charity. The project was inspired by a Grandmother and Granddaughter. Laurie Glass-Goerg is also the CFO Publishing and Subscriptions of The Reel News.
 
The Angel Pillow Project was started out of a desire to provide a comforting gift to a friend's terminally ill mother. Our guest speaker was Laurie Glass-Goerg. Once Laurie saw how well the gift was received and how much comfort it brought to her friend's mother, she realized there had to be a lot of people from all walks of life who could benefit from an Angel Pillow and so the Angel Pillow Project was birthed with her granddaughter Hannah Goerg.
 
Each pillow is and made by Laurie and her Hannah with love, positive thoughts and prayers. They attach a card to each pillow which indicates that it has been blessed to bring healing, comfort and blessings to the recipient. Angel Pillows come in two sizes, (22" and 14" tall) and are fashioned out of a theme print front with a cuddly soft fleece material on the back. The stuffing is a hypo-allergenic cotton batting.
 
For every Angel Pillow sold, one is donated to a charity (hospice, homeless families, children's hospital wards, trauma rescue, etc). Other successful uses are for baby showers, birthdays and special events. There goal is to always bring comfort to those who are ill.
District Grant Seminar
While the rest of us enjoyed a day of relaxation, three of our members attended the District's Grant Seminar in Mt. Vernon. Debe, Tracy and Sam sat with our District Governor Bill Robson, enjoyed listening to some of his stories and a surprise visit by one of our RI Zone Director's Julia Phelps who was traveling through the area.
 
All three commented that there was a lot of useful information presented at the seminar that will help with our upcoming grants. Particular interest in taping into the Canadian government match. In affect, we have a 3.5 multiplier so that $10,000 becomes a $35,000 grant but with the Canadian government match, it only takes $6,000 to become a $35,000 grant. Wow, exciting possibilities for the skateboard park, the food bank or Bali which Debe talked about during the seminar.
 
Debe met another Rotarian at the seminar who was going to Bali in a few weeks and was able to share helpful information with them. Plus a member of the Sedro Woolley Club suggested that we look at their skateboard park information on their website. The skateboard park was recently completed and sponsored by their club. Tracy liked hearing from other clubs about their projects even identifying mistakes that can and do happen. Sam was impressed with the talk by RI Zone Director Julia Phelps. Should be a great precursor to PETS at the end of the month.

Thought of the Week - Who Said It?
"Primarily Rotary seeks to apply the theory of service to business and community life...This is expressed in the first part of our code of ethics: To consider my vocation worthy and as affording me a distinct opportunity to serve society. He Profits Most Who Serves Best is a less ideal expression, but the suggestion of egoism is removed by the added words Service Above Self."
