      Club eyes support for "Woodinville Fields"

Woodinville Rotary Club has the opportunity to become a major player in the development of the new Woodinville Fields complex at the Edwards Community Center in downtown Woodinville.

          At this past Tuesday’s board meeting held at Woodinville City Hall, the officers and chairs voted to commit future proceeds of our annual charity events in 2008 through 2010 to support the substantial upgrading of sports fields, parking, lighting and a walking loop on property across the street from Wilmot Gateway Park. The action does not impact our 2007 beneficiary plan to celebrate literacy. 

          President Rick and I plan to present more details of this opportunity at Tuesday’s meeting during a short presentation. The Board heard in detail the plans and financial requirements when it met with Parks Director Lane Youngblood at the monthly Board meeting. 

          The city plans a fund-raising campaign kickoff October 27. In the interim, the Board needs member-input as to recognition and member-reaction to the Board’s decision to undertake an obligation of up to $60,000-$75,000. Lane and the campaign leaders would appreciate being able to inform the public that Woodinville Rotary is fully on board another important civic project as we have provided leadership and support in the past with Rotary Community Park ($90,000) and Wilmot Park ($126,000).

            At next Tuesday’s meeting we will seek member-input as to the favored means of recognition of the club’s contribution. While we will be able to more graphically describe naming opportunities, we would like you to be thinking in the interim about prioritizing the following items: 

1      .   Gateway Entrance with bronze plaque ($75,000)

2      .   One of four Sports fields named for donor ($50,000)

3      .   Permanent Scoreboards for field 1 and 2 ($50,000)

4      .   T Ball Field ($50,000)

5      .   Sport Court ($25,000)

6      .   Tot Lot ($50,000)

7      .   Flag Pole ($15,000) 

Prior to Oct. 27 -- and no later than our next board meeting of October 16 -- we would like to officially inform the city of our timing and level of financial support as well as our preferred naming recognition.

Until Tuesday’s meeting,

A Celebration of the Life of Karen Forys will be held Oct. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Bellevue Presbyterian Church.

Dr. Forys served as Northshore school superintendent the past 13 years. She was a past president of Northshore Rotary Club and was named the state's Superintendent of the Year and a national finalist for that honor in 1999. We were fortunate to have met with her this past day after Labor Day when she encouraged our club's efforts to:
