Mini-Assembly: Community Service

Scott Sadler serves as Director of Community Service on the BBRC Board. It was his turn to conduct a “Mini Club Assembly,” where a particularly arm of Rotary is discussed in detail.

Tom Smith represented Chairman Nick Paget for the Youth Services Committee. “We’ve touched an awful lot of people over the years,” said Tom. “Our scholarship funds have sent many students to RYLA, we provide day planners to all students and faculty at Sammamish; a grant of $1500 to the YMCA for projects on the Eastside; Student of the Month award program; and awarding scholarships to deserving students. Currently, we’re working toward the selection of our scholarship recipients. We have a budget of $8100 for Sammamish High students going on to college. We are interviewing potential recipients over the next few weeks. This is one of the most rewarding areas that our club sponsors--awarding scholarships to students going on to college.”

Chip Erickson represented Preserve Planet Earth Committee. He and Ron Healey are co-chairs. The group sponsors a tree planting exercise twice a year; and the latest project is working with the state on the Adopt-a-Highway program on 405. Each quarter, a team will descend on that section of highway to clean it up. Next clean-up is in July. PPE also sponsors the ReCell program, which accepts “used” cell phones that are refurbished for use by families of domestic violence. The committee recently gave $2500 to Earth Corps which will result in the planting of dozens of trees and shrubs along threatened waterways.

Lynn Gauthier is chair of the Community Service Committee and is perhaps one of the busiest groups for activities. Community Service sponsored a painting party at EADS last month; the annual house repair project is coming up this Saturday; and the group has supported families during the holidays with meals, specifically working with the YMCA, Friends of Youth, Hopelink, Treehouse, The Giving Tree, Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets, and Rotary First Harvest. It’s been a great year for Community Service.
