Thanks to coordinated efforts by Wally Mahoney, the BBRC has re-connected with Sammamish High School with several projects
on the near horizon.
 In cooperation with the Sammamish Honor Society president Doan Si Bui, a group of SHS students will join with the BBRC for the annual tree-planting project on the
Sammamish River. The project is set to take place on Saturday, October 28, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Mahoney has also put together a career counseling project, which will benefit Sammamish High School students. In conjunction with SHS counselor
Shanon Magnusson, the next step is to schedule a counseling session at the High School. Mark Esteb is the coordinator working with Shanon, while John Sheeran
is in charge of the volunteer counselors.
Volunteers jumping at the chance to help our young people include: Linda Barton, Management/Leadership/Local Government; Joseph Brazen,
Real Estate/ Marketing/Small Business; Zul Devji, Business Development; Wendi Fischer, Education/On-Line Learning; Madeline Gauthier, Law; Larry Gill,
Commercial Photography; Terry Gotham, Sales/Marketing; Susan Harrison, Architecture/Retail Design; Dale Hemphill, Engineering; Norm Johnson, Computers/ Data Collection;

Wally, who’s on vacation for a couple of weeks visiting family in Florida, reminds all members to read the article in the latest
“Rotarian” magazine under Vocational Service. It’s called “Working It Out,” outlining some successful programs in place by Rotarians in Naperville, Illinois.
And, lastly, mark January 19, 2001, on your calendar for an off-site meeting for breakfast at 7:00 a.m at Sammamish High
School. This continues a tradition of meeting annually at Sammamish, learning the latest initiatives in education.
