IN THIS ISSUE:

THIS WEEK

If you like cloak and dagger stuff, you’ll love Frank Enfinger, professor of forensics at North Seattle Community College and co-author of the book "Computer Forensics and Investigations." A whole new cottage industry has grown up around the CPU, with the RAM and the URL. Bring a guest and enjoy a great breakfast. It all starts at 7:00 a.m. at Glendale Country Club.

ADMIN CORNER

Marching toward the end of the 3rd Billing quarter. You’d help the hired help if you'd kindly remit any balances in the next couple of weeks. New billing goes out the first week in April.

The Friday Program:
Goodwill Industries, Recycling and
Building New Lives for 80 Years

x0307Colling Bob Vallat introduced Ken Colling, the President & CEO of Goodwill Industries. Ken is a native New Yorker. His father worked for the U.S. State Department, which took Ken to Taiwan University High School, where he graduated, then on to Cornell University for college and four years in the military. He has worked in the administrative area of the medical profession, with Kaiser Permanente, and he has been a volunteer for the San Diego Children & Families organization, prior to coming to Seattle a year ago. Ken is a member of the Rotary Club of Seattle.

“Goodwill has been recycling and building new lives for these past 80 years. A lot of its accomplishments come from people like your Ted Ederer, who performed ably as a board member of Goodwill for 28 years! (Applause). Goodwill is a not-for-profit business enterprise with a social purpose. We accept donated goods, recycling them for resale, with the proceeds going to support Goodwill programs.”

Ken extolled the great bargains available at Goodwill. “We recycle virtually everything. We resell, we salvage, we convert unsold clothing to commercial rags, do metal recycling ... it all gets recycled one way or another!” An outlet store operates just south of Safeco Field where keen shoppers can buy clothing for $1.29 a pound. Seattle Goodwill covers all of Northwest Washington, operating stores in 12 sites, from Bellingham in the north to Burien in the south. The Bellevue store is located at 14506 NE 20th. In addition to the store sites, there are six other donation sites. READ MORE

The Retreat is Coming!

President-Elect Steve Lingenbrink hyped the Retreat, to be held April 8-9 at Semi-ah-moo Resort near the Canadian border. “Your participation will help in the direction of club for the next Rotary year.”

Tim Moriarty joined Steve to relate how he attended soon after becoming a new member. “It’s really a nice way to build fellowship while getting traction as your membership begins. The Retreat helps to build ideas and design ways to implement them.

There will be another round of Retail Therapy, where several members go on a shopping tear. Sharon Edberg and Jenny Andrews have something to do with that. Concurrently, a round of golf awaits those who like to swing at the little white ball. It’s at Loomis Trails Golf Course nearby, all coordinated by Ruben Ladlad.

x0307Chandler2 The Chandler Report

Don Chandler, on behalf of the Rotary Foundation, “would really appreciate hearing from that block of Rotarians who haven’t yet committed to participating in this year’s campaign.

(No nicer pitch, no lower key hype than the Don & Don show. Isn’t it time you pledged to this year’s drive? TRF does real, solid good throughout the world.)

Rotary Minute

President Norm followed Lee Ann Wood's induction by regaling the membership to “follow the job of sponsoring a new member. If you will sponsor a member, you will be remembered.” Norm ask the audience to recall who was Rotary International President when they became members? District Governor? Club President? While none of those fine people got a 100% response from the membership, everyone remembered who their sponsor was. ‘Nuff said.
