Reporter for May13 meeting

Neil Peterson, founder of Edge Foundation a non-profit coaching organization for high school and college students, told of a harrowing hiking experience he had along west coast of Vancouver Island. Narrow trails, towering cliffs, rogue waves, surge channels, 43 degree water, sea caves and ADHD all factored in.

Peterson is an eloquent story teller and this volunteer report could not do his adventure justice. Neil’s story and Coast Guard video can be viewed at: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003748862_rescue15m.html

Scholarship Breakfast

Next Tuesday the Northshore Scholarship Foundation, which Woodinville Rotary funds, will be presenting awards to Northshore Students at the Northshore Senior Center. Shuttle service provided from the Bothell Park & Ride. Eighty-four scholarships will be awarded. Be sure to attend as these folks are sharp.

Incoming Exchange Student

Past Prez. Duffield is looking for a host family for our Bolivian exchange student from late August to December. Francia is 16, plays the harp and is eager to come to Woodinville. If you, a friend or neighbor residing in the Northshore School District are interested, please contact Duffield for details.

Welcome Back!

Returning “Injured Reserve” Rotarians Maynard and Whitsell were properly welcomed back. Good to see the two of you!

Sgt. Leonardson:

Larry shared a photo from the Northshore School District newsletter of the 1917 Grace Elementary School student body. John Hughes was looking resplendent in his bib sepia tone overalls.

Burke Barker, shared that he just turned 63, celebrated his 50^th anniversary and his daughter just got married. Congrats.

Jay Soloff related DeLille Cellars won ‘big time’ awards recently. The awards should not be a surprise.

Al G. (“Algae”) Green was tickled with his 19 years of matrimony.

Roy Williams will be gone for 11 weeks as he will be going around the world. However, he didn’t say how or which way. We should know next fall.

Jorge announced his 93 yr old dad is doing well and walking again. A CLS600 would be an appropriate birthday gift from his son.

Puckett says the Girls Tennis Team took KingCo. On to State!

The ever effervescent Linda Hendrickson reports the recent Cascadia CC fundraising breakfast raised $41,000 for scholarship. Woo hoo! Also, CCC will be breaking ground on its expansion next Tuesday. What a pistol!

Raffle

The ever considerate Susan Webster pulled a multicolored marble out of the box in order to let the pot grow. This will keep Rotarians coming back for sure!
