Our program this week is about the Environmental Coalition of South Seattle. ECOSS is a non-profit organization that encourages urban redevelopment and healthy environment by providing education, resources and technical assistance to diverse businesses and communities in the Puget Sound region. As our area expands, there is information we can learn and apply. Ann Boyce is a Sustainable Business Associate and will tell us about ECOSS and what they do.
NOTE: This week's meeting will be at the Lake Stevens Fire Department Conference Center at 10518 18th St SE.
Contest: Name the location from where the photo at the top of the bulletin and website home page was taken. This must be a tougher location to figure out because this is the fifth week that we haven't received any submissions. Be the first to send your guess to the Editor by Friday, May 8th, 7:30 am.
Last Friday evening, our Club participated in Home Hosting from Rotarians and two Rotary Youth Exchange students (outbound) from attendees at the District Conference at the Tulalip Resort. We are indebted to Scott and Lisa for hosting this BBQ dinner at the Loop on Stitch Road. All totaled, we had twenty-two attendees including our guests. Our guests were: Pyaro (Pierre) Panjwani and Linda Whitehead from White Rock Clubs in Surrey, BC; Mike and Jean Griffin from the San Juan Island Club, plus Lenni Zonta outbound Youth Exchange student to Germany sponsored by Chilliwack and Ana Clark outbound to Peru sponsored by South Whidbey. Both Youth Exchange students will leave for their respective countries in August for a one year learning experience.
Besides Scott and Lisa, many of our club members brought food and dessert to compliment our salmon, hamburgers and chicken dinner. So thank you to all of you who brought food and participated in this Home Hosting event.
"Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us to restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wildlife and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method."
