Mitch Friedman

The Northwest Old-Growth Campaign

Mitch Friedman, a conservation biologist with a degree from the UW, is founder of Northwest Ecosystem Alliance, a 12,000-member organization committed to biological excellence throughout the Northwest. Mitch lives in Bellingham but spends about three days a week in the Seattle area working on his pet project.

The NWEA has formed a partnership with other groups to target specific areas that need attention. Such groups as the Cascade Conservation Partnership and the Northwest Old-Growth Campaign have resulted from these alliances. MORE

Truancy Board Volunteer Needed
The Bellevue School District has asked our club if we can support them with a volunteer to be part of a truancy board for high school students. The duty would require meeting approximately three hours per month in a mediation-type setting to help families determine courses of action for students with serious absentee problems. Meetings would take place at Sammamish High School. If you are interested, please contact Tom Smith (Ph 425-644-7013). Your help will be much appreciated!

District Display a Go

Susan Harrison

Susan Harrison will again use her many talents to construct the BBRC’s District Display, a center for information and education at the May District Conference. Susan wants to know if anyone has photos from various activities besides those appearing in the Reveille. For example, photos from First Harvest work parties and other District-level activities. Touch base with Susan, please.

Thought for the Week
We can try to avoid making choices by doing nothing … and that’s a decision, too.
