Sue Baker, the Executive Director of the

Court Appointed Special Advocate Program (CASA)

Sue Baker, is the Executive Director of the Chelan Douglas CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Program. She, along with two foster parents and then Superior Court Judge Carol Wardell started the CASA Program here in Chelan County. That was 22 years ago serving children and their families.

The CASA Program was established in 1977, in Seattle by Judge David Soukup. There are now over 1,000 programs nationwide and over 60,000 volunteers advocating for abused children.

Sue has been a Guardian ad Litem for over 30 years, first providing the service as a volunteer with the CASA Program in King County. She provided foster care over the last 20 years with her last four guardianship children entering the adult world.

She has been an ardent advocate on behalf of children all her life making their priorities hers.

Goats to Goats

If you were at Earth Day this weekend you most likely saw the Lake Chelan Interact Club working one of their International projects. They have been raising money to send Goats to where they are needed. So appropriate when their mascot at Chelan High School is the "Goats".

March Lake Chelan Rotarian of the Month

A couple of weeks ago President Jordana announced that she was naming Tiffany Gering as Rotarian of the month for March. Tiffany did an awesome job on the Radiothon, being a diligent Board Member and generally going well beyond the call of duty. Thanks Tiffany.

Were you aware that zipfizz is now a major sponsor of the 2016 Century Challenge and Cycle de Vine? Their support is with both financial help and product. They are joining Vin du Lac as our very appreciated sponsors this year.

This ought to get you reading the newsletter each week!

At the March Board meeting last week, the Board moved to solve the problem of those members who do not show up or provide a substitute for their cashier duties. Henceforth if you do not show or have a sub, you will be resposible for the lunch fee for the volunteer who steps up and fills in for you. Hopefully we will not have the continuing problem of no-shows. It is only less than twice a year, so please be responsible.

A busy Rotary week

It has been a busy week with both our club and the Interact Club. Hosting at Campbell's for the Youth Exchange training, the flying of all the international flags on Woodin Avenue, the goat fund raising by Interact at Earthday, the demonstrating of the Shelterbox at the park, and the return of our Chelan High students that we sent to Adventures in Tourism in Canada made for a great week of Rotary Projects.

Congratulations to our Rotary Friend Barry DePaoli as the new school superintendent.
