Time is of the essence to make a huge impact on our community. By now, you all have received the appeal letter asking each one of us to send to friends, families and business associates to help the Lake Stevens School District address and provide further resources for the Homeless students in our community. Wow, we just learned that Sarah Duncan and Tom Adams of the Adams & Duncan Law Firm will give a $1,000. contribution to our club for the homeless effort. This is a fantastic early response. But, we need to do more. Donations can be sent to the Lake Stevens Rotary Charitable Foundation, P.O. Box 908, Lake Stevens, WA 98258 or by dropping them off at the Lake Stevens branch Key Bank. Go out and spread the word. This is a community effort led by our own Rotary Club. | | Posted by James Monroe on May 24, 2012

There is a hero among the Fallen Heroes Project custom portraits of Fallen Servicemen and women drawn free of charge and he is the creator of the project, Michael Reagan. What an inspiring talk (May 11, 2012), bringing tears to our members as Reagan recounted stories from wives, mothers and loved ones of the many, many portraits that he has done. For the family members, it is away of bring closure to the loss of a loved one who sacrificed his or her life in duty to our country and to protect each and everyone of us.

Mick Monken, Director of Public Works for the City of Lake Stevens updated the Club on traffic revisions for the north section of Frontier Village. The number one complaint that the city receives involves exiting Frontier Village. In attempt to quell some of the traffic flow problems on the north side, there will be a single lane mini-roundabout at the Safeway Gas Station/Les Schwab exit on N Davies Rd. They will also add a mini-roundabout at the intersection of N Davies and Vernon Rd. This project should ease the traffic flow problems on North Davies and the cost will be much less if the City had excepted funding from the WSDOT. Construction should begin within a few weeks and targeted to be completed by July 4th. Stops signs will be set up until the island is completed.

Arlene Hulten, Lake Stevens School District Director of Communications spoke to the Club April 27, 2012 at the request of Terri Spencer to talk briefly about "Homeless Kids in Lake Stevens". This year, there are 93 homeless kids in the Lake Stevens School District compared to 112 last year. The School District provides food at school, books, transportation and coats, shirts/ties for special events as well as providing a nursing assistant for the students and their families. Federal $$$$ do not go far enough, so the district relies on private scholarships to help. Arlene and club member Ken Collins gave some examples of students living in a homeless environment. Our Rotary Club is in the process of submitting a District 5050 grant request for $5,000 with 50% of the funds coming from members, private donations from other service clubs and the community such as the Chamber of Commerce. More to come later. | | May 11, 2012 As I approach the gates of heaven;
